Sensitivity Solution
Heal Yes! 'Dental Dust' Mineral-Rich Tooth Powder is specifically designed to provide relief for sensitive teeth; for this reason, we have chosen to avoid not only chemicals but also baking soda, improper ratio(s) of salt*, cinnamon, and more 'good' ingredients that can affect sensitive teeth.

How to Use Tooth Powder:
The application of Heal Yes! Tooth Powder may differ from what you're accustomed to with traditional toothpaste, but it adds a unique tactile dimension to your oral care routine.
MOISTEN
Begin by moistening your toothbrush bristles. This step is essential as it allows the powder to adhere to the brush and helps create a paste-like consistency during brushing.
DIP
Tap a pea-sized amount of formula into your clean palm. With a moist toothbrush, dip the bristles into that powder (we advise this method in order to keep your formula itself free of water).
This outstanding formula embodies the notion that 'a little goes a long way,' and so long as you keep the container free of water or other contaminants, it can last months! Truly, you'll find that a small amount of powder is sufficient for effective cleaning.
BRUSH
Proceed to brush your teeth as you would with toothpaste. The powder combines with saliva to create a cleansing (but not detrimentally abrasive) texture.
RINSE
After brushing, thoroughly rinse your mouth and toothbrush to remove any remaining powder.
The learning curve associated with tooth powder application typically involves adapting to this new method. While it may feel unusual or different from using traditional toothpaste, many users appreciate the unique tactile aspect it brings to their oral care routine, savor the minimal ingredients, and love the benefits of 'Dental Dust' Mineral-Rich Tooth Powder.

*Himalayan salt is touted for its mineral content; however, when disproportionate in a formula, it can purportedly negatively affect sensitive teeth: in this Heal Yes! formula, ratios are meticulously assessed and mastered; in this amazing formula, Himalayan salt is a rich mineral source and non-irritating.

Heal Yes! does NOT test on animals - not our raw ingredients or finished formulas.
We're proud to be certified by PETA and Leaping Bunny:
Leaping Bunny leads the cruelty-free makeup standard and holds certified companies accountable.
PETA, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, has certified Heal Yes! as cruelty-free as part of their commitment to preventing animal cruelty and testing.
NOTE: While cruelty-free products are not tested on animals, they may still contain animal-derived ingredients. It's always important to vet ingredients carefully to ensure they align with your values and quality standards. For instance, while a product might be vegan, this does not inherently guarantee its quality or ethical sourcing, either. Additionally, some brands may use trendy ingredients like tallow or emu oil, which are often associated with unethical obtainment practices. Therefore, it's essential to thoroughly research and consider both the cruelty-free and vegan status of products, as well as the ethical implications of their ingredient sources.
Why Ensure Cruelty-Free
Opting for cruelty-free makeup offers benefits that appeal to consumers who prioritize ethical and sustainable choices. Consider these benefits of choosing cruelty-free makeup:
Animal Welfare Advocacy: Choosing cruelty-free makeup sends a message to the cosmetics industry that there is a demand for products that are not tested on animals. This encourages more brands to adopt cruelty-free practices and promotes a shift toward animal-friendly alternatives.
Personal Values Alignment: For individuals who value animal rights and welfare, using cruelty-free makeup allows them to align their personal values with their purchasing choices. It provides peace of mind that their beauty routine is in line with their ethical beliefs.
Product Safety and Quality: The development of cruelty-free makeup often involves the use of alternative testing methods such as in vitro testing, computer modeling, or relying on existing safety data. These methods can provide accurate assessments of product safety and quality without the need for animal testing. Caveat: while supporting small and often at-home brands can be an amazing choice, do ensure they have rigorous testing methods in place, which can be atypical for super small at-home brands without professional lab and testing experience to implement.
Innovation and Scientific and Societal Advancements: The wonderful shift toward cruelty-free cosmetics encourages the development and adoption of innovative, animal-free testing methods. This stimulates scientific advancements in non-animal testing techniques, benefiting both the cosmetics industry and other areas of scientific research.
Environmental Considerations: Many cruelty-free brands also prioritize sustainability and environmental responsibility. Not all, but many. They often employ eco-friendly packaging, use sustainable, natural, and, ideally, organic ingredients, and promote environmentally conscious practices, reducing their impact on the planet.
Consumer Awareness and Transparency: The rise of cruelty-free makeup has led to increased awareness among consumers about animal testing and ethical choices. This encourages brands to be more transparent about their practices and ingredients, providing consumers with the information they need to make informed choices.
Overall, the benefits of cruelty-free makeup extend beyond personal use, encompassing animal welfare, ethical values, innovation, and environmental consciousness. By choosing cruelty-free options, consumers contribute to a more compassionate and sustainable beauty industry that we need to continue to challenge and encourage to be at its best.
The use of the terms "comedogenic" and "non-comedogenic" (as well as "natural" and "hypoallergenic") in the beauty industry is primarily based on manufacturers' claims, creating a landscape where different companies employ various approaches to determine the comedogenicity of their products:
Some manufacturers conduct their own assessments, utilizing methodologies that may include ingredient analysis, historical data, expert opinions, or existing research to support their claims.
Smaller boutique and home-made brands might use the terms and have no testing back-up at all.
It's imperative to note that the absence of standardized guidelines means that the terms "comedogenic" and "non-comedogenic" are not regulated by authoritative bodies like the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or the European Medicines Agency (EMA). Therefore, the lack of consistent definitions or thresholds for what constitutes comedogenic or non-comedogenic further adds to the uncertainty.
Given the absence of regulatory oversight and standardized criteria, it is wise to approach claims of comedogenicity with some skepticism. What may be comedogenic for one person may not be for another, as individual skin types and responses can vary significantly. . . .
Relying on personal experiences, recommendations from trusted sources, and seeking guidance from dermatologists or skincare experts can help in finding products that suit your specific needs and skin type. It is also essential to evaluate each ingredient as well as the overall formula when assessing potential comedogenic effects.
Sometimes an ingredient that may be personally considered comedogenic can still function well within the synergy of the entire formula. This refers to how the ingredients work together to create a product that may not cause adverse reactions:
For instance, some might regard certain organic oils and waxes as comedogenic. Shea butter, for instance, is a hydrating 'yes' to many but a no-go for some; however, in a gentle formula with proper emulsifying counterpart ingredients and natural solvent-functioning ingredients, shea butter could still bode well and not make the overall formula "comedogenic."
Conversely, a seemingly impressive ingredient panel can still trigger a negative response in some individuals.
We all have unique needs and tolerance levels, so finding the right products may involve some trial and error. Therefore, it is advisable to find formulas backed with friendly return/exchange policies and, whenever possible, consider samples to test on your skin before committing to full sizes.
Taking these precautions can help minimize the risk of reactions and allow you to make more informed decisions when selecting makeup products for your sensitive skin!
