Review of My Magic Mud Natural Teeth Whitener

Last month I received a product called "Magic Mud" as a thank you gift for a donation. You can check out their website here.

I received this small container, which claims to be a three month supply and retails for $25, but honestly we haven't yet made a noticeable dent. There are seriously a bajillion uses in here.






The Magic Mud is made of all natural ingredients- activated coconut shell charcoal, bentonite clay, and mint extract- and has a very fine powdered texture. It reminds me of black powdered sugar.

The instructions tell you to wet your toothbrush, dip it in the Magic Mud, and brush for at least 2 minutes. Here we go!





My first surprise is that Magic Mud literally has no taste. They claim on the website that is has no taste, but there's always a taste, right? Not this time. I can feel the powder in my mouth, but taste absolutely nothing. The website also claims kids love this stuff. And they're right! Magic Mud blacks out your teeth; the boys and I have a blast making monster faces at each other every time we use it.



After brushing with Magic Mud for 2 minutes, we rinse our mouths, floss, and then brush with our regular toothpaste for 1 minute. Josh's teeth were noticeably whiter after the first use.

 The light fixtures in the bathroom are golden, so the pictures don't show as well as I'd like. And it's impossible to go back to re-take a "before" picture under better light.

My whole mouth feels clean. Really clean. Much cleaner than using toothpaste alone. To say I live off of coffee and tea wouldn't be much of an exaggeration. Magic Mud has made my teeth whiter in spite of my caffeine addiction. I've never used other teeth whitening products because I wasn't comfortable ingesting the questionable ingredients. I love that Magic Mud is all natural, easy to use, safe, and a fun way for the whole family to strengthen and whiten our teeth.

  1. I must agree that the result was evident with Josh. His teeth get a couple of shades lighter than before. It really does wonder, as its name implies. And you say it’s all natural? That sounds great because you’re rest assured that you’re using a safe product.

  2. I must say, the change was very noticeable on your son's teeth! I agree with what you’ve said about the taste, though it's rare to find a teeth whitener that doesn't leave any aftertaste. It looks a bit creepy when you see it at first, but it's mainly because of the black hue. But seeing your son's teeth afterwards made me change my mind. The only remaining question is how often you have to use it to maintain that effect. Anyway, thanks for sharing!

    1. Hi Matthew! We all use it every night in place of toothpaste before bed, so I can't speak as to how long between uses before a noticeable change occurs. I hope you're able to try it for yourself soon! We still love it.
