MooGoo | Moothpaste Fluoride Free

What ingredients do you avoid when making a toothpaste?

There's lots of things you won't find in this toothpaste (or any of our other products) because they were all formulated for family members and close friends. This includes Sodium Lauryl Sulphate, which is a synthetic detergent derived from petroleum, but is commonly found in commercial body washes, shampoos, and even toothpaste. We don’t think putting the stuff that goes into our cars in our mouths is the healthiest thing we can do.

We also don’t use any synthetic preservatives such as Parabens and Phenoxyethanol, although they're pretty common too, including with a few brands that claim to be natural (you know who you are!). There are many more but way too many to list here. Take a look at the ingredient listing on your toothpaste at home. You may be surprised, even shocked to see what you’ll find.

Why doesn’t your toothpaste foam as much as the other brands I’m used to?

For those new to natural toothpaste, you may find it a little different to the main commercial brands. Just like shampoo and wash products, toothpaste often contains Sodium Lauryl Sulphate. Natural cleansers don’t hold their foam as long as synthetic detergents like SLS, but we think they're superior and much better for you and the environment. Considering how much toothpaste we swallow, and children often swallowing it all, we think this small compromise is worth it. This just means a little bit more elbow grease needed to get the foam going, but all that brushing will actually leave you with cleaner teeth.

What is Calcium Hydroxyapatite?

Embraced for its superior bioavailability, Calcium Hydroxyapatite enriches toothpaste formulations, promoting remineralisation and strengthening enamel. When looking to formulate a toothpaste with an alternative to Fluoride, the science behind this ingredient left us without doubt. With a track record in preventing cavities and enhancing overall dental resilience, Calcium Hydroxyapatite stands as a champion ingredient in toothpaste formulations.

Why doesn’t your toothpaste taste as minty as the other brands I’m used to?

Many people seem to be, dare we say addicted, to the strong, artificial minty flavour burst of commercial toothpastes. We trialed so many formulas to try to replicate this as best we could with natural ingredients, and we think we come pretty darn close.

Is your Hydroxyapatite Vegan and non-GMO?

Yes, our Moothpaste formula is Vegan and non-GMO.

Can Moothpaste be used on dentures?

Absolutely. Our formula is gentle enough for cleaning dentures, thanks to its mild cleansers and low-abrasive ingredients. However, Calcium Carbonate and Sodium Bicarb, which we use as mild abrasives, may cause tiny scratches on softer dentures over time. It's really up to you! If you're unsure, we always recommend using a denture-specific toothpaste with RDA testing for the best results. But overall, it's safe to use.

What’s different about this Moothpaste formula?

The only change we’ve made is to the packaging and a small upgrade in the formula’s active ingredient to better support your oral health. We’ve transitioned from standard Hydroxyapatite (HA) to Nano-Hydroxyapatite (NHA). Both forms of Hydroxyapatite work wonderfully to remineralise teeth, but NHA is a more advanced version due to its smaller particle size. This allows it to more easily adhere to the surface of your teeth and provide targeted remineralisation benefits.

Here’s how it works:

For Enamel: NHA can penetrate tiny pores in your enamel, replacing dissolved phosphate and calcium ions. It forms a protective synthetic enamel layer that works like fluoride but through a different mechanism.
For Dentine: NHA can reach deeper into the demineralised collagen matrix in your teeth, acting as a scaffold for rebuilding dentine while providing a localised source of calcium.
It’s exciting to share that NHA has been extensively researched and shown to be highly effective at strengthening teeth and protecting them. We hope you enjoy the benefits of this enhanced Moothpaste formula!

There are many more but way too many to list here. Take a look at the ingredient listing on your toothpaste at home. You may be surprised, even shocked to see what you’ll find.

What is Calcium Hydroxyapatite?

"Nano-hydroxyapatite is a revolutionary material with a wide use in dentistry. With regard to restorative and preventive fields, nano-hydroxyapatite has remarkable remineralizing effects on initial lesions of enamel, certainly higher than traditional fluorides used until now for this purpose. Nano-hydroxyapatite is, in fact, a better source of free Ca, and this is a key element as regards the remineralization, the protection against caries and dental erosion." – A Journal of Odonontostomatologia Sciences

Is Your Hydroxyapatite Vegan?

Yes. Although our bones and eggshells have a lot of Hydroxyapatite, this is not our source. The only non-vegan ingredients in any of our products are Fresh Milk (used in our Fresh Milk Cleansing Bars), Milk Protein, Honey and Beeswax. For those into chemistry, it’s made by mixing CaHPO4 with CA (OH)2 and then dissolving it in alcohol and the remainder is Hydroxyapatite. It’s then milled to the correct size.
