Chemical & fluoride free toothpaste
Is your toothpaste bad for you? Do you know what is in your toothpaste? For years I would buy whatever toothpaste was on sale. When my daughter started getting a red dry rash around her nose I started looking for answers. Why did she have this dryness? I started to look at products, our detergent, soap, lotion, and toothpaste. That is when my husband began to research fluoride.
Here is great article that will link 6 studies
So I stopped buying toothpaste with fluoride. Her rash and dry skin around her nose vanished. Quickly too. We went on vacation and I forgot toothpaste so I ran to a small market. They did not have any toothpaste without fluoride so I bought what they had. The next morning my daughter had redness around her nose again. I knew it was the toothpaste. This got me thinking. What else is in our toothpaste?
I began my search for a toothpaste that was non toxic as well as fluoride free. We tried many brands. I then found David's toothpaste I love it. It is made in America too.
Here is what David's toothpaste says...
What do we mean by natural toothpaste?
The FDA has not defined the term “natural” and has not established a regulatory definition for this term in cosmetic labeling, so we have established these guidelines in our efforts to remain transparent in our definition of "natural".
Legacy Toothpaste brands commonly contain ingredients that many health-conscious consumers are actively looking to avoid. These legacy toothpaste products often contain artificial flavors, artificial preservatives, artificial colors, artificial sweeteners, and other synthetic ingredients.
Instead of using a long list of artificial/synthetic ingredients, Davids uses ingredients that are Naturally Sourced and Naturally Derived.
Our definition of natural
- ingredients sourced & derived from nature
- formulas free of artificial: flavors, preservatives, colors & sweeteners
- free from animal derived ingredients
- not tested on animals (cruelty free)
- use of sustainable packaging
