Frequently Asked Questions
Product & Ingredients
What is your toothpaste made from?
We’ve worked tirelessly to create a toothpaste that delivers a best-in-class clean using dentist-approved ingredients that are kind to both your mouth and the planet.
Unlike many conventional toothpastes, ours is free from harsh chemicals like Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and Titanium Dioxide.
Instead, we use gentle, effective ingredients such as:
- Papain: a natural enzyme that helps lift surface stains
- Calcium Carbonate: a mild polishing mineral for a smooth clean
- Xylitol: supports cavity protection and balances the oral microbiome
The result? A formula that’s powerful, gentle and planet-friendly.

Glycerin, Aqua, Hydrated Silica, Calcium Carbonate, Sodium Monofluorophosphate, Xylitol, Decyl Glucoside, Cellulose Gum, Coco-Glucoside, Mentha Arvensis Leaf Oil, Stevioside, Menthol, Papain, Mentha Piperita Oil, Limonene
What are Mighty refills made of?
Our refill material, named Floradent, is a world first home compostable toothpaste refill. It is a plant-based material created through a natural fermentation process, where renewable feedstocks are converted into a high-performance biopolymer.
Floradent is designed to break down under home composting conditions and is certified TÜV OK compost HOME, meaning it can fully biodegrade in a home compost environment without leaving harmful residues.
If you don’t have access to a compost, it’s also okay to dispose of it in your general waste - it will still break down over time.
Does the toothpaste contain fluoride?
Yes, it contains fluoride at 1,450 ppm, the dentist‑recommended level for strengthening enamel and preventing cavities. Fluoride makes it harder for cavity-causing bacteria to produce acids that damade enamel while still allowing the good bacteria in your oral microbiome to thrive.
Are there any allergens or irritants I should know about?
We’ve worked super hard to make Mighty gentle and effective. Our toothpaste is made with naturally derived ingredients and free from common irritants like SLS and Titanium Dioxide.
Instead, we use Papain to lift stains naturally, Calcium Carbonate to polish gently, and Xylitol to help protect against cavities - all the good stuff, none of the nasties.
Is your toothpaste good for sensitive teeth?
Yes - Mighty’s toothpaste is designed to be gentle but effective, making it a great choice for people with sensitive teeth.
We use Papain, a natural enzyme that helps lift stains without harsh abrasives, and Calcium Carbonate in a fine grade to gently polish and clean. Xylitol adds cavity protection and antibacterial benefits.
Many of our customers with sensitive teeth have told us it works brilliantly for them, giving that “just-been-to-the-dentist” clean, without the sting.
Is your toothpaste vegan & cruelty free?
Yes, our toothpaste is completely vegan & cruelty free. We have no animal based ingredients in our toothpaste, nor do we ever test on animals.
Is the toothpaste suitable for children?
Yes! Our toothpaste is suitable for children aged 7 years and older.

Usage & Dispenser
How do I insert the refill into the dispenser?
It’s super simple- just follow these four quick steps:
1. Remove pump head: Hold the base & twist the pump head anticlockwise. After ~90°, the nozzle will pop up. Continue twisting until the pump head separates from the base.
2. Attach the refill to the pump: Remove the aluminium cap from the new refill, unscrew the old refill and then re-screw the new refill into the pump until secure.
3. Re-attach the pump: Place the pump onto the base. Twist the pump clockwise until fully tightened & the nozzle lines up with the Mighty logo.
4. Pop the nozzle up: Twist the pump head anti-clockwise 90° to unlock the nozzle. Pump a few times to remove the air.
What if my dispenser isn't working / the pump isn’t dispensing?
Don’t worry, this usually just means the pump and refill aren’t secured together quite right. It’s an easy fix!
Sometimes, if the dispenser hasn’t been fully assembled, it can stop the toothpaste from dispensing properly.
We’ve made a quick step-by-step video showing exactly how to set it up - you can watch it here.
Looking for a tube? Our dispenser actually works as an airless system, so there isn’t a tube inside the refill. Instead, each refill has a small piston at the bottom that pushes the toothpaste upwards as you pump. You may need to pump the dispenser nozzle a few times to bring the toothpaste to the top of the refill. Once the air has cleared, the toothpaste should start dispensing normally.
Our design is built to work smoothly once everything’s clicked into place so this normally works straight away. However, if you are still having issues please contact our us at hello@mightymouthcare.com
How long does a refill last?
Based on one person brushing twice a day (with two pumps of the toothpaste each time), each refill lasts around 4 to 6 weeks.
Of course, it depends a little on how generous you are with your toothpaste - but on average, one refill keeps your smile Mighty for around a month.
Sustainability & Disposal
How should I dispose of the refill once used?
There are a couple of ways you can go about this:
1. Put in general waste and the material will decompose leaving no microplastics behind in 6-12 months
2. The material is home compostable so you can put it in your compost at home and it should decompose within 6-12 months.
Mighty refills are made from biobased, biodegradable materials, so they’ll naturally break down over time.
How long do the refills take to decompose?
Under ideal composting conditions, our refills can fully decompose within 6–12 months - faster than something as ordinary as a banana peel!
In cooler or drier environments, the process may take a little longer, but unlike plastic, they’ll never linger in nature or leave behind microplastics.
What makes the refills home compostable?
We’ve worked hard to develop a toothpaste refill that’s not only easy to use but also environmentally friendly.
Our refills are biobased and naturally biodegradable, breaking down over time without leaving behind any microplastics or harmful residues. They’re designed to protect your toothpaste while being kind to the planet.
Cost, Guarantee & Returns
Why is Mighty priced higher than regular toothpaste?
Because it’s built to last and built to be better.
Our reusable dispenser (£10 RRP) is designed to last a lifetime, meaning you only buy it once. From there, you simply top up with compostable refills that eliminate plastic waste and use only natural ingredients.
Each brush works out at around £0.09 per use (£0.07 if you subscribe), which means you’re helping reduce plastic pollution and protect your oral microbiome without it costing a fortune.
It’s a small price for a cleaner planet and a cleaner smile.
Do you offer a money back guarantee or refunds?
Yes we do.
For new customers we offer a 30 day money back guarantee if you are unsatisfied with the product.
Please see our full refund policy here
What is the shelf life or expiry of the toothpaste / refill?
Your Mighty toothpaste will stay fresh for up to a year after opening!

Dispenser V2
Will the V1 refills work with V2 dispenser?
Since V2 has a slightly different design the existing refills won't work with the V2 dispenser. The V2 refills will however be home compostable.
What is the difference between the V1 and V2 dispenser?
V2 builds on everything we learned from V1.
Based on real customer feedback and everyday use, we refined the design, materials and mechanics to create a dispenser that feels more premium, works more smoothly, and is built to last.
Key Changes are:
- An upgraded aluminium dispenser designed to last
- A refined, more ergonomic shape - even easier to hold and use
- A new dispensing mechanism for an even smoother pump
- A refreshed colour range - designed to suit more bathrooms and personal styles
- A more elevated, refined finish, designed to look as good as it performs.
What should I do with my old V1 dispenser?
What your V1 dispenser is made from...
Our original Mighty dispenser is made from ABS plastic, including post-consumer recycled (PCR) material. ABS is a durable, high-quality plastic and while it can be recycled, it isn’t always accepted in household recycling bins.
How to recycle your Mighty dispenser...
Here’s the easiest way to do it:
1. Check your local recycling options
Recycling facilities vary by location. In the UK, we recommend using Recycle Now to find a suitable recycling centre near you:
