Tia Scott’s Mothers Earth is redefining oral care with its holistic approach.
Offering natural products like Down to Earth toothpaste and Tooth Dirt, the company merges traditional wisdom with modern wellness for a healthier, eco-friendly smile.
Scott’s story begins years ago when she discovered she was allergic to conventional toothpaste. Each time she brushed, her mouth was coated in a filmy build-up, and she sought a solution. After research, Scott determined the main ingredients in conventional toothpaste — fluoride, sulfates and parabens — were causing the reaction.
The next step for Scott was replacing her conventional toothpaste with an all-natural one that doesn’t have all those ingredients, but that didn’t fix the problem.
She then dug into the oral biome, brain health, heart health and the body’s all-natural detoxification process. From this research, she set off on a journey to heal herself and create an allergy-free oral care line using only natural products. Down to Earth Tooth Dirt was born.
Scott’s passion is oral and body care, and she continues to study oral hygiene, Ayurvedic medicine and ancestral practices to better herself and her products. Mothers Earth’s products include rinses, toothbrushes, tongue scrapers, whiteners, oil pulls and floss.
The original product, the Tooth Dirt, is a mouth cleanser and detoxifier used as a replacement for toothpaste. Simply dip your toothbrush into the tub and scrub as usual. The product is child-safe, and opened jars have a shelf life of up to one year.
Mothers Earth offers skincare products as well. Scrubs, cleansers, serums and moisturizers are all available for purchase on their website, mothersearth.com. Locally, their products can be found at Black Label Premium Product Exchange and the Cheesecake Lady Indy.
