Our guide to natural toothpaste products in Australia
Wondering what ‘natural’ toothpaste is? The phrase itself is not a technical description because chemicals make up all of the matter on our planet, natural toothpaste included.
Essentially, ’natural toothpaste’ is a term that has been coined by marketers to describe toothpaste without fluoride. It’s these types of toothpastes we’ll be talking about today, and we’ll be referring to them as natural toothpaste products to help those looking for fluoride-free options.
Without further ado, here’s our quick guide to what we think are the best natural toothpaste products available in Australia.
Ditch the paste for tooth powder
To use tooth powder, just wet your toothbrush, gently dip it into the powder and brush away.
If there’s a daily fight at your house over who squeezed the toothpaste tube the wrong way, tooth powder is here to save your mornings! Just wet your toothbrush, gently dip it into the powder and brush away.

Love Beauty Foods Toothpowder - Organic Wild Orange has a bold and sweet orange. It’s also sweet that each jar of water-free formula prevents three toothpaste tubes from going to landfill.
Another tooth powder option is Love Beauty Foods Teeth Whitener. This best selling formula includes activated coconut charcoal and Australian bentonite clay.
