🌿 Handcrafted in Kerikeri, New Zealand | Organic | Vegan | Fluoride-Free | SLS-Free
A clean, classic daily toothpaste built on organic coconut oil and baking soda. No fluoride, no SLS, no synthetic preservatives — just effective, honest ingredients that clean your teeth and leave your mouth genuinely fresh.
The coconut base gives this paste a subtly different feel to conventional toothpastes — non-foaming, slightly creamy, with a clean peppermint finish. Once you've adjusted (usually one week), most customers never go back.
Key Ingredients & Benefits
Organic Virgin Coconut Oil: Contains lauric acid, which has demonstrated antimicrobial activity against common oral pathogens. Supports clean teeth and healthy gums naturally.
Organic Peppermint & Spearmint Oils: Antibacterial and antifungal properties with a genuinely refreshing flavour.
Natural Baking Soda: Gently whitens enamel, neutralises plaque acids, and keeps breath fresh without harsh abrasives.
Organic Xylitol: Plant-derived sweetener clinically shown to reduce cavity-causing bacteria.
Natural Calcium Carbonate: Introduces remineralising calcium into the oral environment while gently polishing.
Organic Aniseed Oil: A subtle warmth that rounds out the flavour profile.
How to Use
Scoop a small amount onto a soft toothbrush.
Brush without water for best results — this maximises contact time with teeth.
Rinse with warm water after brushing.
Cold weather tip: If the paste firms up in winter, add 5ml of warm water and stir. It returns to a smooth, scoopable consistency instantly.
Value: One jar = 3+ months of daily brushing at $17 NZD.

All the Maxwell and Macintyre toothpastes work really well
All the Maxwell and Macintyre toothpastes work really well, and I have improved oral health since I started using them. The flavour and consistency can vary between batches, which just reminds me that they are totally natural, with no stabilisers or emulsifiers.
A favorite for my very sensitive teeth, this works better for me than the commercial well known brand. Lovely taste too, although I like abit more anise, so I sometimes add more myself. I buy this regularly. Top product and my dental hygienist is amazed how clean my teeth are.
