What is hemp toothpaste?
Everyone asks the same thing first, so it is answered first: no, it cannot make you high.

The confusion is built into the word. Hemp, cannabis and CBD name three different things that come from the same plant, and shops rarely separate them. A buyer who reads hemp on a tube of toothpaste is usually asking one practical question — is there a drug in this — and deserves a straight answer before any marketing. The separation below is the whole subject.
Hemp seed oil, CBD oil and cannabis extract are not the same thing
| Name | What it actually is |
|---|---|
| Hemp seed oil | Pressed from the seed. Carries no THC and no CBD. A nutrient-rich carrier oil long used in food and cosmetics. This is what is in our paste. |
| CBD oil | An extract of flower and leaf, standardised for cannabidiol. A regulated ingredient in most markets and a different material entirely. |
| Cannabis extract | A full plant extract that can carry THC. It has no place in an everyday toothpaste and is not what hemp on a label means. |
| In cococannabis | Hemp seed oil 3% + coconut oil + xylitol. No THC, no CBD, no fluoride, no SLS. |
What hemp seed oil brings to a toothpaste
- A soft lipid profile that sits well on fragile, inflamed tissue, which is why hemp and coconut oil are usually paired.
- It cleans without detergents, so the paste can stay deliberately low-foam — foam comes from SLS, not from cleaning.
- Xylitol alongside it is not fermented into acid by oral bacteria, so the mouth is left less acidic after brushing.
- Fluoride-free, SLS-free and vegan, which is what most people looking for a hemp paste are looking for in the first place.
What it does not do
- There is no cannabinoid effect, because there are no cannabinoids. Anyone buying it for one will be disappointed.
- Hemp seed oil is not a whitener and not a medicine. It soothes; it does not treat disease.
- Low foam feels like nothing is happening. That is the design, not a defect — but it takes a few days to get used to.
- If a dentist has prescribed fluoride for you, a fluoride-free paste is not a substitute for that instruction.
Common questions
Does hemp toothpaste get you high?
No. The oil is pressed from the seed, which carries no THC. There is nothing psychoactive in the tube and no dose at which brushing your teeth produces an effect.
Is hemp toothpaste the same as CBD toothpaste?
No. CBD is an extract standardised for cannabidiol and regulated as such in most markets. Hemp seed oil is a pressed food-grade oil. Our paste contains the seed oil only.
Will hemp toothpaste affect a drug test?
It contains no THC, which is what such tests look for. We make no claim about any specific testing regime — if you are tested at work, the honest answer is to show them the ingredient list.
Does hemp toothpaste actually clean?
The cleaning is done by brushing and by the formula around the oil, not by the hemp itself. The oil is there for comfort on sensitive gums, and that is the honest division of labour.
Can I use it during pregnancy?
Yes — pregnancy is one of the named use cases for cococannabis, because it has no harsh abrasives and no SLS. With a high-risk pregnancy, clear any new product with your midwife or dentist first.
