Scientists Just Found Microplastics in Human Blood for the First Time
And Your Toothpaste Might Be the Reason Why
You're brushing microplastics into your mouth twice daily. The same particles found in newborn babies, human organs, and now YOUR bloodstream. Here's the plastic-free solution smart families are switching to.
The Hidden Microplastics in Your Medicine Cabinet
Here's what the toothpaste companies don't want you to know: those "whitening microbeads" and synthetic polymers in your toothpaste? They're plastic particles smaller than a human hair.
Every brush adds to your body's plastic load. Microplastics cross the blood-brain barrier. They accumulate in organs. They've been found in placentas, lungs, and heart tissue. And children absorb 10x more than adults. Your daily oral care routine might be the biggest source.
While scientists panic about microplastics in our food and water, millions of families are literally brushing them into their mouths twice a day. It's time to stop adding to your body's plastic burden.

What Microplastics Are Doing Inside Your Body Right Now
Scientists are discovering the terrifying truth about plastic accumulation. Your toothpaste shouldn't be adding to the problem.
They Cross the Blood-Brain Barrier
Microplastics are so small they penetrate your body's most protected systems. Found in brain tissue, they're linked to inflammation and neurological changes. Every brush with plastic-laden toothpaste adds to this invisible invasion.
Children Absorb 10x More
Kids' developing bodies are microplastic magnets. Their higher metabolism and smaller size mean greater accumulation. That sparkly kids' toothpaste? It might be loaded with plastic particles their bodies can't eliminate.
They Never Leave Your Body
Unlike natural minerals that your body uses or eliminates, microplastics accumulate. They've been found in organs, blood, and even placentas. Your body has no mechanism to remove them β they're there forever.
Hormone Disruption & Inflammation
Microplastics act as endocrine disruptors, interfering with hormones and causing chronic inflammation. They're linked to reproductive issues, metabolic disorders, and immune dysfunction. Why add more through your oral care?
The Solution: 100% Natural Minerals
Our plastic-free formulas use only earth-sourced minerals your body recognizes and can process. No synthetic polymers, no microbeads, no plastic contamination. Just pure, natural ingredients that clean without consequences.
The Plastic Ingredients Hiding in Your Toothpaste
Toothpaste companies use clever names to hide plastic ingredients. Here's what to watch for:
Common Microplastic Ingredients:
- Polyethylene (PE) - Those "gentle scrubbing beads"
- Polypropylene (PP) - Creates smooth texture
- Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) - Adds sparkle to kids' toothpaste
- Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA) - "Whitening particles"
- Nylon - Yes, the same as in stockings
Our Plastic-Free Promise
Every ingredient in The Dirt products comes from the earth, not a laboratory. Bentonite clay, essential minerals, coconut oil, essential oils β that's it. No polymers, no synthetic compounds, no plastic particles. Your body knows exactly what to do with natural minerals. It has no idea what to do with plastic.

Your Microplastics Questions Answered
Microplastics in toothpaste include polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and other synthetic polymers used as abrasives, texture enhancers, and "whitening microbeads." These plastic particles are smaller than 5mm and don't break down - they accumulate in your body and the environment forever. Our products contain zero plastic ingredients, using natural minerals instead.
Check the ingredients for: polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), or nylon. Terms like "microbeads," "polishing beads," or "gentle scrubbers" often indicate plastic. If you can't pronounce it and it starts with "poly," it's probably plastic. The Dirt uses only recognizable, natural ingredients.
Scientists have found microplastics in human blood, organs, placentas, and even breast milk. They're linked to inflammation, hormone disruption, and cellular damage. Children absorb 10x more than adults. Unlike natural minerals that your body can process, microplastics accumulate forever. Why risk it when natural alternatives work better?
Natural minerals like bentonite clay and calcium carbonate have been cleaning teeth for thousands of years - long before plastic was invented. They gently polish, absorb toxins, and remineralize teeth. The microscopic structure of clay is actually more effective at cleaning than plastic beads, plus it strengthens your teeth instead of just scrubbing them.
Absolutely! You brush twice daily - that's 730 potential plastic exposures per year you're eliminating. Plus, you're preventing those plastics from going down your drain into waterways. While you can't control all environmental plastic exposure, you can control what you put in your mouth. It's one of the most impactful changes you can make.
Yes! In fact, it's especially important for children who absorb microplastics at much higher rates. Our natural ingredients are safe if swallowed (though we still recommend spitting). No plastic particles means no accumulation in developing bodies. Many parents report their kids prefer the natural taste to artificial flavors in plastic-laden toothpastes.
We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee because we're confident you'll love the results. Most people are amazed at how clean their teeth feel without plastic - many say they feel cleaner than ever. If you're not completely satisfied, we'll refund your purchase. But with thousands of happy plastic-free customers, we think you'll never go back to plastic!
Remember: Scientists found microplastics in 77% of human blood samples. Every time you brush with conventional toothpaste, you're adding to that percentage. Choose earth over plastic. Choose health over convenience. Choose The Dirt. π
