Are you interested in living a life without harsh chemicals, toxic ingredients and unsustainable practices? Today many people are aware of the impact of their food, cleaning products and household items on themselves and the environment, but what about your personal care products?
Because personal care products go directly on your skin, near your eyes and in your mouth, it's critical that they only contain ingredients that won't harm you OR the environment.
There are hundreds of different types of personal care products that can be used from your head to your toes, but we are going to talk specifically about oral care products.
What Is All-Natural Toothpaste?
Are you wondering, “What is an all-natural toothpaste?” Unfortunately, the Food and Drug Administration does not have an official "all-natural" label as it does for "organic" or "non-GMO" products, nor has it legally defined the term.
Therefore, it is up to manufacturers and consumers to decide which ingredients and products are all-natural. In general, all-natural products can be described as containing “ingredients from and derived from nature and with formulas that are free of artificial flavors, fragrances, colors, sweeteners and preservatives.”
Conventional toothpaste formulas use dangerous ingredients such as fluoride, sodium lauryl sulfate, propylene glycol, and parabens. Unfortunately, many companies such as Crest and Colgate also test on animals.
All-natural toothpaste companies use plant-based ingredients such as essential oils, charcoal, and 100% natural, sugar-free sweeteners to create effective toothpaste formulas that you can put to good use.
Does All-Natural Toothpaste Work?
Most people shy away from all-natural toothpaste because they have the misconception that it doesn't work as well as conventional toothpaste. However, the opposite is true!
The use of innovative technology and ingredients allows all-natural toothpaste brands to compete with (and, in some cases, beat) conventional toothpaste manufacturers. All this while protecting your body and the environment.
Benefits of all-natural toothpaste
Once you know the benefits of all-natural toothpaste, you should consider switching!
- High-quality ingredients
Natural toothpaste uses ingredients you feel good about. You can brush your teeth with confidence, knowing that you are not ingesting harmful chemicals or flushing down the drain. - Effectiveness
All-natural toothpaste often works just as well – or better – than conventional toothpaste. And because natural toothpaste formulas contain no harsh chemicals or artificial flavors, they often work better for those with sensitive teeth. - Safety
Some people who are committed to an all-natural lifestyle prefer to make their own beauty products. However, you run the risk of using expired or completely ineffective toothpaste when you go the DIY route. Manufactured all-natural toothpaste uses ingredients that are proven to work, and they have an expiration date. You should never doubt the safety of your toothpaste.
