What is Patina?

First things first, what exactly is patina? When you notice a change in color on your copper tongue scraper, what you're witnessing is the natural oxidation process. This reaction between copper and oxygen creates a protective layer on the surface, known as patina. It's nature's way of preserving the metal, and it's completely safe. In fact, many artists and craftspeople intentionally cultivate patina for its beautiful, evolving appearance.

Is It Safe with Patina?

Now, you might be wondering, "Is it still safe to use my tongue scraper with this patina?" The answer is a resounding yes! The patina doesn't affect the tongue scraper's effectiveness or safety. It's simply a visual reminder of the natural, unprocessed materials we use in our products. Just as we embrace the variations in our natural toothpowders, we encourage you to appreciate the unique character that develops on your copper tongue scraper over time.

How to Clean

However, we understand that some of you might prefer the original shine of your tongue scraper. If that's the case, we've got you covered with an easy, all-natural solution. Mix one teaspoon of salt with one cup of vinegar, and use this mixture to gently scrub your tongue scraper. This simple, eco-friendly method will restore your scraper to its original luster without harsh chemicals. It's just another way we support your journey towards a more natural lifestyle.

Celebrating Natural Beauty

At The Dirt, we're all about celebrating the beauty of natural processes. Whether you choose to keep the patina or polish it away, remember that your copper tongue scraper is doing its job effectively either way. It's removing bacteria, freshening your breath, and supporting your overall oral health. And isn't that what really matters?

Conclusion

So next time you notice that beautiful blue-green hue developing on your tongue scraper, take a moment to appreciate it. It's a sign of the pure, high-quality copper we use, and a reminder of the natural, unprocessed approach we take to oral care. After all, at The Dirt, we believe that true beauty lies in embracing the natural, just as nature intended.
