Brand claims
Activated charcoal, the main ingredient in this toothpaste, has powerful detoxifying and absorbent properties- perfect for removing stains naturally. It combines coconut and tea tree oils to remove plaque build-up, combat bacteria, and promote healthy oral care. Many oral care products on the market today contain toxic chemicals which are absorbed quickly through your gums. In response, this toothpaste is a safe alternative for your oral care
Give me the good stuff
Lots of good stuff here. We love the ingredients in this activated charcoal toothpaste.
Activated carbon: anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, negative ionic charges of charcoal bind to bacteria, plaque and tartar to remove stains and promote healthy pH levels in the mouth
Baking soda: naturally whitens and polishes teeth. Helps to fight plaque which causes acid and dry mouth
Coconut oil: the natural antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal properties found in coconut oil properties of coconut oil help to remove plaque that causes gingivitis as well as whiten teeth
Peppermint oil: a powerful antiseptic essential oil to help combat bad breath
Tea tree oil: tea tree oil’s anti-inflammatory antiseptic and germicidal properties help remove bacteria that causes plaque, receding gums and tartar deposits
Xylitol: A unique birch-derived sugar that actually helps remineralization to strengthen the enamel and fight caries (tooth decay) that cause cavities up to one third from regular use. Its sweetness helps ensure great taste

Handy hints

This is going to sound a little strange but this toothpaste can also be used as a Face Mask! Yep, Terra and Co. say that you can apply a thin layer of the paste on your face, allow the charcoal mask to dry and simply rinse off.
Pros
It’s a great natural alternative for teeth cleaning and whitening
Reviewers consistently report that they are happy with the smell and taste of this product and its ability to whiten their teeth
One of Terra & Co.’s missions is to “add elegance to bathrooms” and we think they get a tick on this front – the packaging is minimalistic, sleek and stylish
Terra and Co have just announced that they are going 100% biodegradable with a toothbrush made of bamboo and black bristles that are nylon BPA-free infused with activated charcoal. The toothbrush comes in an original Terra & Co. travel case.
For every purchase of a tube of toothpaste from Terra&Co., the company will donate a toothpaste to the Downtown Women’s Center, an organisation that provides permanent supportive housing and services to homeless and low income women
Cons
Mess alert – when brushing your teeth with this toothpaste your mouth will indeed turn a tinge of “midnight” whilst brushing. As we always say, we know that some messyness is part of the deal with activated charcoal so embrace it!
Be careful if you are using this toothpaste with an electric toothbrush. Pop your tootbrush with the toothpaste on it into your mouth before you turn the electric toothbrush on
How often should I use it?
At least twice a day, or as directed by your dentist
