10 Best Charcoal Toothpastes UK 2023 | Kingfisher, Truthpaste and More

The Humble Co. charcoal toothpaste is made in Europe and contains the dentist recommended 1,450 ppm of fluoride. The activated charcoal gently yet effectively whitens teeth, without irritating gums.

Although admittedly still plastic, the 'Green Leaf' technology used to create the packaging reduces the carbon footprint of each tube by an impressive 33%. Plus, with every purchase, the company donates to oral health projects for children in need. With the bonus of helping others to access important oral care, this is truly a feel-good buy!

Made without synthetic ingredients or colourants, these charcoal-infused toothpaste tablets are a novel way to brush your teeth. Simply chew a tablet between your front teeth and your saliva will rehydrate it into a lightly-foaming paste - then simply brush as usual!

The activated charcoal gently removes stains, whilst the organic peppermint oil keeps bacteria at bay, providing long-lasting freshness. Better yet, these toothpaste tablets are hand-crafted in West Sussex in the UK. 

A more eco-aware choice, purchasing from this company supports environmental organisation One Earth-One Ocean. It's also worth noting that this product is available as a tooth powder, which is used by dipping a wet toothbrush directly into the jar. 

An Ethical Consumer Magazine best buy, Kingfisher activated charcoal toothpaste naturally whitens teeth by absorbing plaque and microscopic food particles which would otherwise cause stains. The charcoal also neutralises pH balance in the mouth, helping to prevent bad breath and gum disease. 

As you'd expect from the Kingfisher brand, this natural toothpaste contains no artificial sweeteners, flavourings, colourings or preservatives, opting instead for natural peppermint. 

The activated charcoal in Truthpaste removes plaque and gently whitens teeth, whilst coconut, calendula and fennel oil soothe gums. The combination of orange and fennel makes for an unusual yet enjoyable flavour, although there are peppermint and spearmint options available too.

The clove and lemon oils are naturally antibacterial, with xylitol to sweeten the paste and helps to maintain a healthy pH balance. Welike that this toothpaste in a glass jar is kind to your teeth and kind to the planet, creating no throwaway plastic waste!

This charcoal toothpaste is blended with natural botanical extracts, such as aloe vera, Icelandic moss and tea tree oil, to fight harmful bacteria. A great daily toothpaste, the activated charcoal naturally absorbs impurities for whiter teeth over time. 

With a cool peppermint flavour, your teeth and gums will feel soothed and refreshed after cleaning. It's a very mild formula too, making it suitable for those with sensitive gums.

This coconut-oil-based toothpaste with activated charcoal by Georganics has been developed to clean teeth naturally. The highly absorbent charcoal removes surface stains, without being harsh on teeth or gums, whilst organic peppermint oil not only leaves breath minty, but targets bacteria in hard-to-brush areas.

UK-made and sold in a glass jar with a metal lid, it's a top pick if you're looking for a more eco-conscious choice. The consistency will take some getting used to though, as it's non-foaming. However, those looking for formulas with minimal ingredients will certainly approve.

This toothpaste contains an innovative ingredient called Teavigo™. It's a caffeine-free green tea extract that helps to remove plaque and the bacteria that causes bad breath. This works alongside the charcoal powder to purify and cleanse inside the mouth.

Users of this toothpaste report a very minty taste, which provides long-lasting freshness. However, the consistency is rather runny compared to regular toothpastes, which may be off-putting for some.

This fluoride-containing toothpaste is Colgate's first to include a blend of natural extracts, including charcoal and coconut oil. The charcoal gently removes impurities and brightens teeth, whilst the coconut oil nourishes gums and is naturally antibacterial. 

Colgate promises the fresh cooling sensation will last for up to ten times longer than brushing with regular toothpaste, which is quite a claim! Although, we do love that it contains the recommended 1,450 ppm of fluoride.
