Today we’d like to introduce you to Clara Botero and Barox Zerankua Quiroga.
Clara and Barox, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
We were looking for a life change, we wanted to do something we loved, of benefit to others and that would allow us precious time with our family and ourselves. We wanted to enjoy life! I have been extremely obsessed with learning everything our ancestors did to heal the body and how to use ingredients and practices they had in today’s modern times.
I started changing everything we used in our homes, the way we nourished our bodies internally and externally. In that search, I found very little products in the market that wholesome with no preservatives. I started making our snacks, household products and body care products.
A dear friend of ours on the same journey as us had started her own business with a fantastic homemade deodorant, We were inspired by her, but didn’t know what we could do.
I have always suffered from bleeding gums, So I made a toothpowder that was helping my gums stay healthier, my husband one day said: “why don’t we turn these into a paste?” I loved the idea, we started modifying the formula and arrived way better formula than the powder itself. My gums started healing even faster, Visits to the dentist every three months were no needed anymore. My dentist was amazed by my results! We started sharing jars with family and friends and they started loving it asking us to make more.
We had no idea these would be the beginning of Lucky Teeth!
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
It has been a flowing and enjoyable journey overall. We have grown internally as much as a business. We realized our emotions and internal states are a direct reflection of our material world. We have put aside fears and have trust in the universe, but it didn’t happen overnight. This journey transforms continuously and that is the fun part, learning to become better in our roles at the company and again as individuals. It has been the best adventure in our lives allowing us to become more in touch with mother nature and ourselves.
Tell us about your business.
We are a family-owned business that loves and takes pride in creating products that heal our bodies, creating happiness in return. We use pure, wholesome ingredients that our bodies can recognize and assimilate. Ingredients that have been around for centuries used by our ancestors as medicine. At Lucky Teeth we use no preservatives, no fillers, no binding agents, no ingredients you cannot pronounce.
We combine organic pure carrier oils and essential oils that have powerful benefits to balance bacteria in your mouth, heal your teeth and gums, and help reverse tooth decay. Besides we add calcium and magnesium to aid in remineralization. More ingredients go into the formula, everyone with a benefit and a purpose.
As a company, we are in the process of attaining a balance between earth’s impact and a great product. We see ourselves going to a place where not only every ingredient we use has a purpose but also everything we use for packaging can be reuse and recycle. Our products are almost all made in the US.
Any shoutouts? Who else deserves credit in this story – who has played a meaningful role?
My husband is an adventurer and has no second thoughts on making something come to be. We are a perfect team in making Lucky Teeth a success. My dear friend from Island deodorant has been my inspiration and support. Our family and friends tested our products and believed in our vision.
