ALL ABOUT OUR INGREDIENTS

Your mouth, like your gut, hosts millions of bacterias, both good and bad, known as the oral microbiome. Keeping the natural balance of your oral microbiome is essential to the health of your teeth, gums and mouth and it is also the gateway to good gut health. When we have poor oral hygiene and expose our mouths to toxins and nasty chemicals often found in toothpastes it can destabilize the natural balance of the healthy bacterias in your mouth. This can cause problems such as inflammation in the mouth, ulcers, bleeding gums which can lead to other health problems in the gut and rest of the body.
 
This is why at LEBON we consciously decide to leave out all nasty toxins and chemicals that can strip your mouth of the good bacteria as well as the bad. Instead in all our toothpastes we use Organic Green Tea (Camellia Sinensis) which possesses powerful anti-oxidant properties and Organic Aloe Vera (Aloe Barbadensis) which has soothing properties. It helps to naturally balance the oral microbiome and prevents bacterial growth, plaque formation, cavities and to protect our gums.

WHAT'S OUT: 

Ingredients you won’t see in our products because :
1. they are not essential to a good and effective toothpaste.
2. today we are more aware of the potential toxicity of these
ingredients when ingested for a long period (think a lifetime).
