Frequently Asked Questions:

Below, we hope you’ll find the answers you’re searching for. If your specific question isn’t here, please feel free to email us at: hello@mintioralcare.com

1. What’s in your toothpaste tabs? 

Our feel-good ingredients include: Sorbitol, Calcium Carbonate, Hydrated Silica, Hydroxyapatite, Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate, Yeast, Acacia Senegal Gum Extract, Sodium Monofluorophosphate, Magnesium Stearate, Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil, Mentha Arvensis Leaf Oil, Menthol, Stevioside, Mentha Piperita Oil (no really...that’s it!)

2. What is Hydroxyapatite (HA) and why don’t you use fluoride? 

Hydroxyapatite is a natural mineral that makes up 90% of your tooth enamel and 60% of your bones. You have tons of it in your body already! HA helps remineralize your teeth just as well as fluoride, without any side effects or health concerns. Thanks science, you rock!

3. How do I use your toothpaste tabs?

Brushing your teeth with Minti tabs is easy! Simply pop open your tin, toss a tab in your mouth, chew, and start scrubbing with a clean, wet brush. Because we’re fluoride-free you technically don’t need to spit--but we still suggest it.

4. Are your tabs travel-friendly? 

Yes--toss us in your bag and take us wherever you go. Because health doesn’t stop in a train, plane, or automobile and neither do we.

5. Can my kids use them? 

Minti toothpaste tabs are great for the entire family thanks to our feel-good ingredients and strict standards. However, for children under the age of 3, they can be a choking hazard. To avoid any accidents, simply crush into a powder and dip a child-friendly brush. 

6. Are they pet-friendly?

No, you’ll want to stick to peanut butter and Milk-Bones for Fido. 

7. Where are your tabs made? 

Minti tabs are made in the UK according to strict European standards.

8. Can I compost the brush? If so, how?

We believe in planet-friendly products that are just as good for the Earth as they are for us. Which is why we made sure our bamboo toothbrushes were easily compostable. Simply place your handle in your home or farmers market compost pile (some stores like Whole Foods have one as well) and let it do its thing. The bristles are not compostable, but they’re recyclable! Grab a pair of pliers, pull them out, and  toss them in the recycling bin--all finished!

9. What is your floss made of? 

Our floss is made with 2 feel-good ingredients and nothing else: Corn Fiber and Candelilla Wax. It’s 100% compostable and 100% vegan. Our floss case is made from bamboo which is both compostable and sustainable. Look at you--showing our planet and your teeth some love!
