At Truthpaste, we prioritise both the effectiveness and safety of our products. One common concern we encounter is whether metal utensils can interfere with the properties of bentonite clay in our toothpaste. Let's dive into the science and clear up any misconceptions.

Bentonite clay is a rising star in natural oral care, known for its powerful cleaning abilities and gentle touch.

Softer than a fingernail, it ranks 1.5 to 2 on the Mohs hardness scale, ensuring safe daily use. This unique combination makes bentonite clay an ideal choice for those seeking a clean, healthy smile.
