Siddhalepa Supirivicky Ayurvedic Toothpaste is the original herbal toothpaste of the Supirivicky oral care range, made in Sri Lanka with goraka (Garcinia cambogia), aralu, moonamal bark, liquorice, black pepper, clove and Ceylon cinnamon. Brush with it twice a day. It is a non-fluoridated toothpaste.
The paste is close to black-brown in colour, and the pack says the colour comes from the herbs, not from added colouring. The taste is herbal and slightly bitter, with pepper, clove and cinnamon in place of sweet mint, so it can take a few brushings to get used to. It cleans the teeth and freshens the breath.
