Why the Source Matters: The Truth About Sodium Bicarbonate in Your Toothpaste

Why the Source Matters: The Truth About Sodium Bicarbonate in Your Toothpaste

At PrimalBasics, every ingredient we choose is guided by one simple principle: keep it as close to nature as possible.

That’s why the sodium bicarbonate in our PrimalDent Tooth Powder is not the same as what you'll find in most products on the shelf.

Let’s break it down.


What is Sodium Bicarbonate?

Sodium bicarbonate — commonly known as baking soda — is a naturally occurring compound with powerful benefits for oral health. It gently polishes teeth, neutralizes plaque acids, and helps keep your mouth fresh and balanced.

But here's the catch: not all sodium bicarbonate comes from nature.


Most Sodium Bicarbonate is Synthetic

The majority of baking soda used in commercial toothpaste and personal care products is synthetically produced using a chemical process called the Solvay method. It combines ammonia, carbon dioxide, and soda ash (sodium carbonate) in an industrial setting to create a refined, inexpensive compound.

Is it effective? Sure.
But is it natural? Not even close.


What Makes Mined Sodium Bicarbonate Different?

The sodium bicarbonate in PrimalDent is naturally mined from ancient mineral deposits — most notably in Colorado and Wyoming (USA) and Turkey, where pure forms of baking soda (known as nahcolite) are found deep within the earth.

This type of sodium bicarbonate:

  • Requires no synthetic processing
  • Retains trace minerals found in its natural form
  • Aligns with our commitment to ingredients straight from nature

It’s baking soda the way nature intended.


Why We Choose the Mined Form — Always

We don’t choose ingredients based on cost or convenience. We choose them based on purity, safety, and how well they work with your body — not against it.

Naturally mined sodium bicarbonate is:

  • Safer for long-term oral use
  • Gentler on tooth enamel
  • Aligned with ancestral health and natural hygiene

That’s why you’ll find it in every jar of PrimalDent Tooth Powder.


Bottom Line? The Source Matters.

We believe nature got it right the first time.
That’s why we’ll never cut corners — especially when it comes to what goes in your mouth.

Clean teeth. Fresh breath. Nothing fake.
Just real ingredients, from the real world.
