Burt’s Bees Charcoal with Fluoride Toothpaste in Mountain Mint is a whitening, cavity‑protective toothpaste that uses charcoal and hydrated silica to remove surface stains while strengthening enamel with fluoride. This 3 x 4.7 oz bundle is made with naturally sourced flavors and without SLS, parabens, artificial dyes, or artificial sweeteners, offering a more natural take on a modern whitening fluoride paste.
What this toothpaste is designed to do
This charcoal + whitening formula is crafted to clean thoroughly, help restore teeth to their natural whiteness, keep breath fresh, and support strong enamel. It is marketed as an everyday anticavity toothpaste that combines stain removal and cavity protection in one step, suitable for adults and children ages 3 and up under supervision.
Active ingredient and whitening action
The active medicinal ingredient is sodium fluoride at 0.243% (0.13% fluoride ion), which is the component responsible for helping prevent cavities and remineralize early enamel damage. For whitening, the formula uses a combination of hydrated silica and charcoal powder to lift and scrub away surface stains, gradually brightening the appearance of teeth with regular use. Charcoal also visually darkens the foam during brushing, but it rinses away cleanly and is intended to help return teeth closer to their natural shade over time.
Key supporting ingredients
The base of the toothpaste is built from glycerin and water, which give the paste its smooth, spreadable consistency and help keep the mouth feeling comfortable. Sodium cocoyl glutamate and cocamidopropyl betaine (both coconut‑derived surfactants) create foam and aid in dispersing the active and cleaning agents throughout the mouth without relying on sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS). Xanthan gum and carrageenan serve as thickeners and stabilizers so the paste holds its shape and squeezes predictably from the tube.
Mountain Mint flavor and “natural flavor” profile
The Mountain Mint flavor comes from a blend of essential oils, including peppermint, eucalyptus, and spearmint, along with other naturally sourced flavor components. Stevia (steviol glycosides) is used to sweeten the paste instead of artificial sweeteners, helping deliver a clean, minty taste without added sugar or saccharin‑type ingredients. Users often describe the flavor as refreshingly minty with a natural profile rather than a candy‑like artificial mint.
Free‑from claims and brand values
This charcoal toothpaste is formulated without SLS, triclosan, parabens, artificial flavors, artificial sweeteners, preservatives, or blue, red, and yellow dyes. It also contains no plastic microbeads, and the outer cartons are 100% recyclable, aligning the product with Burt’s Bees’ focus on more environmentally conscious and ingredient‑transparent personal care. The toothpaste is not tested on animals, fitting into the brand’s broader cruelty‑free positioning.
How to use and 3‑pack value
Directions specify brushing thoroughly twice per day—after meals or at least morning and night—using a pea‑sized amount for children under 6 and supervising brushing to minimize swallowing. With three full‑size 4.7 oz tubes in one pack, this bundle is suited to households wanting to stock multiple bathrooms or maintain a steady supply of the same charcoal‑whitening formula. When incorporated into a consistent routine, it is intended to keep enamel strong, help prevent cavities, maintain fresher breath, and gradually improve the whiteness of your smile using a more naturally focused ingredient list
