Ratanhia Toothpaste - Herbal Mint Flavour - 75ml - Weleda

Our best natural toothpaste for sensitive gums.

Developed with dentists, using natural strengthening extracts from the wild ratanhia root to prevent bleeding gums.

The people of the Andena Mountains in Peru traditionally use Ratanhia root to clean their teeth. Like all things Weleda, we respect that wisdom and build on it for natural health. The sturdy red root is rich in tanning agents which protect and strengthen sore gums, and it contains natural anti-bacterial qualities. We add calming myrrh and refreshing essential oils of peppermint and spearmint, with calcium-based cleansers for a naturally effective toothpaste.

Our products are free from microplastics, free from genetically modified ingredients and free from mineral oil-based ingredients. We guarantee that 100 percent of our skincare products are certified natural skincare in accordance with the Natrue seal.

For your holistic health

We take a holistic view of the human being. Being healthy means the body, mind and spirit are in balance. Weleda medicines can strengthen your body’s natural ability to heal itself. They contain active ingredients from plants or minerals, which we activate through pharmaceutical processes such as rhythmic procedures and applications of heat.

For sustainability and biodiversity

We are caring for the earth by nurturing healthy soils and fostering biodiversity. Our eight Weleda gardens worldwide are hotspots of biodiversity. With over 50 cultivation projects around the world, we are improving local conditions for people and nature. Weleda natural skincare not only feel good on your skin.

So health and beauty can unfold

We are contributing to a world in which health and beauty unfold in harmony with nature and the human being. We want to develop products that are not only good for you, but also for nature and the people we work with. That’s why we conduct our business in a way that is socially responsible and ecologically sound. We have laid out seven principles that define our philosophy.

Biodiversity since 1921

A laboratory, a medicinal plant garden and a hospital: this is where our founding story begins. The physician Ita Wegman, the philosopher Rudolf Steiner and the chemist Oskar Schmiedel founded Weleda. Since the very beginning, we have been developing sustainable products using active ingredients sourced from nature. Some of the products we sell today date back to our founding in 1921, many more were added since. Now as then, we continue to pursue our vision to nurture health and beauty in harmony with people and nature.
