Boka Products

Do Boka products contain heavy metals?

At Boka, we appreciate that consumers are interested in potential ways to limit their exposure to heavy metals. We strive to limit heavy metals in our products through a variety of methods including carefully selecting and sourcing our suppliers and ingredients and through testing. It's important to remember, though, that heavy metals are naturally occurring and present in air, water, soil, food, plants, vegetables, and the earth, so when we use any products that contain naturally derived ingredients (like essential oils), trace amounts levels of heavy metals can be present at low levels that are not harmful to health. Because we take quality and safety seriously, Boka requires that our toothpaste not only meets FDA guidelines (as confirmed through third party testing), but also that all our raw materials are tested and verified to be within California Proposition 65 limits for heavy metals, which are some of the most stringent standards in the world.

Why do I need to change my toothbrush every three months?

The American Dental Association recommends changing your brush at least every three months. If you're getting over a cold or flu, we recommend changing your toothbrush to avoid spreading germs and reintroducing the virus to yourself.

Why are Boka bristles black?

They're made with Binchotan activated charcoal, which naturally helps prevent bacteria from growing on your brush. The ultra soft bristles provide a gentle, thorough cleaning that doesn't damage your teeth and gums. They're also tapered at the top to tackle plaque between your gum-line and teeth.

Is your toothpaste vegan or gluten free?

Yes! Our toothpaste is both vegan and gluten free.

What's your floss made of?

Wrapped in vegetable wax, Boka floss glides smoothly and expands between teeth to give you a super-clean mouth and gums. And, you can be sure it's free of BPA, teflon, parabens, SLS, and PFAS.

Are Boka products and containers BPA-free?

Yes, all Boka products and packaging are BPA-free.

Are your products tested on animals?

No way! We love our furry friends.
