Sustainable Sourcing: The Stories behind our Suppliers
Sustainable Ingredients
It was always part of our founder’s vision that Truthpaste should be as ecologically friendly and sustainable as possible. This has always meant that our products need to be from exceptional suppliers who have their own stories to tell.
Sustainability goes beyond just eco friendly. There is a range of elements that need to be considered in order for a product to be considered sustainable
A great deal of time and research goes into finding ingredients that are not just environmentally sustainable, but socially responsible.
What does organic and wild harvested mean?
We have always encouraged questions and feedback from our customers, and one that often comes up is “Is Truthpaste Organic?”. It is probably worth clarifying what ‘organic specifically means in terms of ingredients. Put in simple terms, an “Organic” or “Wild harvested” ingredient is one which has grown naturally in its environment with no pesticides. It’s farmed as closely as possible as it would be if it were growing in the wild, thus has no adverse effects on the surrounding environment. Whilst we have not officially been certified as an Organic product, we look to source organic ingredients wherever possible.
Where are our ingredients from?
Since honesty is such a big part of the Truthpaste ethos, we thought you might like to know a little bit about the ingredients that go into our unique formula.
Our Peppermint and Spearmint oils, both organic, have been sourced from a farming co-operative in India. All farmers in the community bring their crops to be processed in one facility, which is very much the hub of the community, providing a lot of work and support to the community. It’s a rather nice touch that much of the mint is picked and processed by hand. The same is true of our Wintergreen essential oil. Also organic but produced in much the same way in Nepal. At Truthpaste HQ, we are used to the fresh smell of the essential oils but it’s nice to feel like our mint has a real heart to it.
Also from India, although in the South, our neem oil is produced by a family business that has been operating for over 20 years. Again, this is run as a co-operative where the neem is hand picked then processed centrally. Most importantly, the wild harvested neem provides a significant amount of working opportunity in very remote parts of Southern India which has a huge benefit to many of the local farms and villages.
Not that we want to give away too much of our secret formula, but citrus oil plays an important part when formulating Truthpaste. And, yes, this too is an Organic product produced in a rather beautiful and insanely scenic farm in Sicily. For five generations, the same family have owned the plantation where the lemons are hand picked. Providing a great deal of employment for the surrounding villages, this idyllic setting bears the best fruits there are on offer.
In case you hadn’t heard (and if not, where have you been?!) coconut oil is simply brilliant at everything. You can use it on your hair, your skin, your teeth, and, of course, it’s edible! We were very much spoiled for choice when it came to finding the best supplier and it took us some time to find the one that was most in keeping with our ethos. You won’t be surprised to learn that like so many of our other ingredients, our coconut oil is in the Organic club. We’re really proud to have sourced a product from the Philippines which is Fairtrade and also supports the surrounding communities by backing projects that provide drinking water in local villages.
It’s an ongoing task to find the most sustainable suppliers and the best natural quality for our formulas, and we hope that knowing a bit more about about the love and the dedication that goes into getting those essential oils from their origins to your reusable glass jar gives you that little bit more reason to smile when you brush your teeth.

from 1538 reviewsTeeth so clean and fresh. Great for gums even helps my ulcers heal quickly

The Mouthwash Cup and Toothpaste Spatula can be re-used for a long time.
This Essential Bundle can come with one of four different flavoured toothpastes. Mouthwash can be with or without fluoride. A good starter kit for beginners and nice to support a small business that specialises in dental hygiene.

I love the freshness of this , stored in a bottle so good for the environment. Love the minty taste and feels like it’s doing a good job . 👍

Have full sized Wintergreen &Mint but fennel is nicer flavour. Does clean teeth well and think teeth are a bit whiter as well. Had to stop for a bit as was getting dizzy spells and wondered if the essential oils. Will try again to see but overall happy so far

Great product, effective dental brushes & more environmentally friendly than plastic.

Great product, highly recommend

Love the toothpaste, great flavour. Much better than conventional toothpaste. My gums are better, teeth feel so clean and fresh.
I have both flavours and alternate.
Great product.

This is my favourite toothpaste. I’ve tried the others and always come back to the Original Fennel.

Brilliant toothpaste, if I could give it more than 5 stars I would, my teeth feel so clean and the feeling lasts all day, lovely taste, and having the glass jar is so much nicer, easier to see when you need to order more. I'm never going back to my old toothpaste.

Excellent stuff i used to get sensitive teeth and gums regularly now I don't and my mouth feels so much better and cleaner no nasty chemicals all natural

Tried fennel, original and charcoal and they are all perfect. Very happy with the quality of toothpaste ✨️🙏✨️

This toothpaste has a lovely taste. It leaves my mouth feeling clean and fresh.

Fresh minty flavour, I really like it. A bit pricy but no nasties.

I had been using another well known probiotic toothpaste for about a year when my daughter mentioned to me she was worried about how much her teeth where bleeding (she was using fluoride toothpaste) so I came across truthpaste and thought I would get a starter pack for us both, well my daughter with two days said the bleeding was getting much less and I too just love the way it leaves my mouth and teeth feeling, have recommended to a few friends already

With it being all natural ingredients it's been very good and cleaning the stains off my teeth, also my sensitive has improved while using this now on my 2nd jar
