We conducted the following efficacy testing on our toothpaste and mouthwash to ensure they worked: 1) There are four main bacteria found in the human mouth: Streptococcus sanguis, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Actynomyces viscosus and Streptococcus mutans. Our product has been shown to be effective in reducing the populations of these bacteria which are associated with plaque and tartar build up. Testing was carried out by an independent lab. (Antimicrobial study 2018, Eurofins Australia) 2) Our toothpaste has been shown to be effective in reducing the build-up of plaque. (In Vitro Plaque Growth Inhibition Study 2018, Intertek UK)

Given the very small amounts and because of the encapsulation technology to protect the enzyme, we’re confident it’s extremely unlikely enzymes will irritate skin - less likely than the risk associated with fragrance, for example.

We recently reformulated our Ultra-Sensitive Soap to replace Goat Milk with Oat Milk after overwhelming customer feedback about a preference for vegan products. New Zealand Oat Milk was found to be the best alternative ingredient.

Yes. Some of our products do contain Benzyl Alcohol which occurs naturally in apricots, snap beans, cocoa, cranberries, mushrooms and honey. It also occurs in some essential oils such as Jasmine and Ylang Ylang. We use it as a preservative to ensure our products are adequately protected from expiring. It's one of the few preservatives allowed in Ecocert certified products. It is a safe, globally approved and effective preservative that we believe is our best option for now and the near future.
