Our take
Why We Flagged It
Earthpaste has one of the shortest ingredient lists in the category, and the company that makes it is privately owned by the people who run it, with no corporate parent. But it carries a California Prop 65 warning for lead, and a 2025 independent lab test found lead and arsenic in one of its pastes. That lands on our heavy-metal axis, so we flag it rather than badge it clean. Read the alert first.

What's inside
Ingredients & Safety
Made from purified water, Redmond bentonite clay, Real Salt, xylitol, and essential oils. The silver version adds colloidal silver. No fluoride, glycerin, SLS, foaming agents, or artificial colors and flavors. Redmond says its clay, like many natural clays, contains some lead, which is why the paste carries a California Prop 65 warning (see the alert).
