How we evaluated it

How it scores Our rating, metric by metric Good, 3.6 of 5

Ingredients 40% of the rating 4 of 5

Thirteen named ingredients with no flavor, essential oil, extract, cleanser, fluoride, SLS or artificial sweetener; four sweeteners (sorbitol, xylitol, stevia, erythritol) and two gums are the main extras.
Active ingredient 20% of the rating 4 of 5

RiseWell states 10% micro-hydroxyapatite for its Original line (this page does not repeat the figure), and the one year-long children’s trial used a micro form, but “restores tooth enamel” goes further than the research.
Independent testing 15% of the rating 2 of 5

No outside test of this paste: RiseWell’s own summary says PFAS were not detected and gives metals only as “Prop 65 compliant”, while its kids’ paste had lead 26 ppb in Lead Safe Mama’s test and was the subject of a PFAS lawsuit.
Trust 10% of the rating 3 of 5

It lists every ingredient and publishes a test summary, and the 2024 PFAS class action was dismissed, but it calls the paste “100% safe to swallow” and its routine page says to brush “with no spitting”.
Value 15% of the rating 4 of 5

About $3.53 an ounce ($12 for 3.4 oz), a little above Boka and well below Dr. Jen’s.

Who tested it What each test found, and who paid for it 2 tests

Independent Lead Safe Mama, LLC (crowd-funded; the site earns affiliate income) January 2025

RiseWell Kids Mineral Toothpaste (Cake Batter), a sibling paste and not this one: lead 26 µg/kg, arsenic 8 µg/kg, cadmium 9 µg/kg, mercury not detected (SGS North America through SimpleLab, AOAC 2015.01). Open ↗ (opens in a new tab)
Maker’s own test RiseWell (summary of third-party lab tests; lab and date not named)

For the flavorless paste: PFAS and PFOA, BPA (in the paste and the tube) and microbes not detected. Lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury are listed only as “Prop 65 compliant”, with no figures. Open ↗ (opens in a new tab)

Who paid, and why it matters

Independent The tester took no money from the maker for it: a consumer group, a journalist, a university or a regulator.
Paid certification An outside lab or certifier tested or listed it, and the maker paid for that.
Maker’s own test A lab report or certificate of analysis the maker commissioned and published.

A certification is a floor, not a verdict: it checks what its program checks and nothing else. We weigh tests by someone with no stake in the result most.

What people ask Worries raised online and elsewhere, and what we found 5 questions

Was PFAS found in RiseWell toothpaste?: A 2024 class action, Watkins v. RiseWell (opens in a new tab), said a lab hired by the plaintiffs’ lawyers found over 188 ppb of PFAS in RiseWell’s Kids Mineral Toothpaste and its packaging. A judge granted RiseWell’s motion to dismiss (opens in a new tab) in July 2025 and the plaintiff dropped the case with prejudice in August; we could not read the reasons. RiseWell’s testing page (opens in a new tab) says PFAS were not detected in its pastes. Separately, Mamavation (opens in a new tab) found 11 ppm organic fluorine in RiseWell’s Scrubby Floss, a PFAS marker. We found no independent PFAS test of this paste.
Does it contain lead or other metals?: RiseWell says its pastes are “Prop 65 compliant” for lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury but publishes no numbers. Lead Safe Mama tested the kids’ sibling and found lead 26 ppb, arsenic 8 ppb and cadmium 9 ppb. Its lead was the lowest of the hydroxyapatite pastes the group has tested; FDA’s draft guidance for lead in cosmetics is 10 ppm. No one has published a test of this exact tube.
Is it really “safe to swallow”?: That is RiseWell’s marketing claim, and the dismissed lawsuit challenged it. Its FAQ says you can spit but not rinse, while its routine page says to brush “with no spitting”. We found no study of swallowing this paste, and the trace metals Lead Safe Mama finds in hydroxyapatite pastes are the concern if you do.
Does micro-hydroxyapatite work as well as nano?: RiseWell says its Original line uses micro-hydroxyapatite, mined in France, at 10%. Our guide advises looking for nano, but the only year-long trial in it, in 207 children, used a micro form and found cavities rose about as much as with fluoride (Paszynska 2021 (opens in a new tab)). RiseWell’s PRO paste adds nano for about $22.
Are influencers being paid to promote it?: We found no affiliate or ambassador page linked from RiseWell’s product page, and could not read Reddit or social media, so we cannot say.

Why we chose it What put it on our list 4 points

The shortest label of the hydroxyapatite pastes here: 13 ingredients, with no flavor, essential oil, extract, cleanser, SLS or artificial sweetener.
RiseWell’s FAQ states 10% micro-hydroxyapatite for its Original line, a strength few brands put in writing.
It is the same maker’s plainer version of the Wild Mint paste we listed before, which has 23 ingredients including eight oils and extracts and cinnamon bark extract.
About $3.53 an ounce, and the maker publishes a testing table, even though it has no numbers.

Trade-offs What to weigh before you buy 4 points

No independent test of this paste. RiseWell’s own summary gives lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury only as “Prop 65 compliant”, and its kids’ sibling had trace lead, arsenic and cadmium in an outside test.
A 2024 PFAS class action over the kids’ paste was dismissed in 2025 without our being able to read the reasons, and Mamavation found a PFAS marker in RiseWell’s floss.
The hydroxyapatite is micro-sized, which our guide says to check for. The flavorless page does not repeat the 10% figure.
It has four sweeteners and tastes lightly sweet. It has no fluoride, so talk to a dentist first if you get cavities often.

What to know Details worth knowing first

Hydroxyapatite is the mineral enamel is made of. Our nano-hydroxyapatite guide finds that pastes containing it likely remineralize enamel about as well as fluoride in lab and short clinical studies, while long cavity trials are still limited. RiseWell is one of the few brands that states its strength: 10% hydroxyapatite, micro-sized, in its Original line.

We switched this page from the Wild Mint paste to RiseWell’s Flavorless one. It has 13 ingredients instead of 23, with no essential oils, extracts or cleanser, and it is the same price. That is closer to what our oral-care criteria ask for.

The gaps are testing and a PFAS question we cannot close. Nobody outside RiseWell has tested this tube, a 2024 lawsuit alleged PFAS in its kids’ paste before it was dismissed, and RiseWell says to brush “with no spitting”. If you get cavities often, talk to a dentist before dropping fluoride.

What we checked Each claim, and how sure we are of it 7 checks

How RiseWell Hydroxyapatite Toothpaste, Flavorless measures up against our oral care criteria
What we checked	What we found
An active ingredient with evidence Maker’s claim	Hydroxyapatite, 10% micro-sized per the maker’s FAQ for its Original line. The flavorless page does not repeat the figure. No fluoride. We found no trial of this paste.
Every ingredient listed Maker’s claim	All 13 ingredients are named, with no flavor, oil or extract. This is a cosmetic paste, so there is no FDA label record to compare it with.
Gentle formulas Maker’s claim	SLS-free, and it has no cleanser at all. The FAQ calls it allergy friendly because it has no essential oils or extracts.
Honest claims Not verified	The page says hydroxyapatite “restores tooth enamel”, whitens and is “100% safe to swallow”. We found no cavity trial of this paste.
No triclosan or artificial dyes Maker’s claim	Neither is listed, and the page says it has no dyes.
Independent testing Not verified	None of this paste. The kids’ sibling had trace lead, arsenic and cadmium in Lead Safe Mama’s test.
Lawsuits and Prop 65 notices Verified	The Watkins class action over PFAS in the kids’ paste was dismissed in 2025. We found no Prop 65 notice naming RiseWell.
