At My Magic Mud®, we believe that everyone deserves a beautiful, healthy smile. That’s why we developed our innovative line of charcoal dental products to provide a total oral care solution.
Our Origins
The idea for My Magic Mud was sparked when our founder stumbled upon activated charcoal and its amazing benefits for teeth whitening and detoxification. After trying some charcoal-based products, she realized that they were too messy and gritty for daily use. She knew there had to be a better way to harness the power of activated charcoal for teeth and gums.
After months of research and testing, our team of dentists and product developers created a proprietary formula that maximized the benefits of charcoal while delivering a smooth, gentle brushing experience. We added only the most essential natural ingredients like tea tree oil and organic coconut oil to enhance the toothpaste’s cleansing and freshening properties.
In 2017, we launched My Magic Mud with our signature Activated Charcoal Whitening Toothpaste. We were thrilled at the excitement and positive response from customers who loved having whiter teeth without harsh chemicals. This inspired us to expand our offerings to provide a complete oral care routine.
The My Magic Mud Difference
What makes My Magic Mud different than other natural toothpastes? Here are a few of our unique qualities:
- Innovative charcoal-based formulas: Our dentist-developed toothpastes feature high-quality activated charcoal powder for stain removal, freshening, and detoxification.
- Maximized cleansing ingredients: We carefully formulate our pastes with ingredients like bentonite clay, silica, and diatomaceous earth that provide mild abrasion to scrub away stubborn stains.
- Smooth, gentle brushing: While effective, our pastes have a creamy, low-abrasion texture that won’t scratch enamel or irritate gums.
- Delicious flavors: We use only natural flavor oils like peppermint and strawberry so your mouth feels clean and tastes great.
- Eco-friendly packaging: Our tubes and boxes use recyclable materials and plant-based inks. We’re also a cruelty-free brand.
- Made in the USA: We proudly manufacture all our products in Southern California.
The Power of Activated Charcoal
So what makes activated charcoal so beneficial for your oral health? Here’s an overview of its superpowers:
- Absorption of stains: Charcoal has a porous structure that binds to and removes stains from tooth surfaces. It’s especially effective at whitening from coffee, wine, and tobacco.
- Toxin binding: Charcoal adsorbs toxins, bacteria, and viruses. This helps reduce bad breath and supports a healthy microbiome.
- Plaque removal: Charcoal can penetrate and break apart plaque, including in hard-to-reach places like between teeth. This improves gum health.
- Sensitivity relief: The mild grittiness of charcoal can gently polish and smooth enamel surfaces. This alleviates sensitivity.
- Enamel-safe: While abrasive enough for stain removal, activated charcoal is soft enough to not damage enamel like some whitening agents.
We amplify these benefits by pairing activated charcoal with other functional ingredients in our toothpaste formulas.

The Magic Behind the Mud
Activated charcoal powder might look like a magical black mud, but there’s real science behind its oral care benefits. Here’s some background on how it works:
Absorption
Activated charcoal is incredibly porous, giving it an extremely high surface area. One teaspoon of charcoal has a surface area equivalent to a football field! This allows it to bind to and trap toxins, stains, bacteria, and viruses, removing them from the mouth.
Abrasiveness
Charcoal particles are mildly abrasive, meaning they can provide gentle scrubbing to remove surface stains on teeth. However, they are soft enough to not damage enamel like some whitening agents. We carefully balance abrasion levels in our formulas.
Alkalinity
Charcoal naturally has a slightly alkaline pH when filtered into water. This helps balance acidity in the mouth, keeping your oral microbiome healthy. Alkalinity further enables charcoal to pull stains away from enamel.
Freshness
In addition to absorbing bad breath compounds, charcoal naturally has an ash-like taste. We complement this with mint, cinnamon, and other fresh flavors in our products for an irresistibly clean mouthfeel.
Quality Matters
Not all activated charcoal is created equal! At My Magic Mud, we take great care to source only the highest quality charcoal. Here’s how we ensure purity and safety:
- Made from coconut shells, a sustainable charcoal source
- Steam-activated to maximize absorption potential
- Triple-filtered for deep cleaning
- Certified safe for ingestion
- Free from BPAs and contaminants
- Sourced and manufactured in the USA
We also put our products through rigorous third-party testing to ensure each batch meets our strict quality standards for performance and safety.
