Conventional oral care products 

Avoid these  toxic and contorverisial ingredients:

❌ ​Fluoride: according to Fluoridealert.orgFDA requires a poison warning on every tube of fluoride toothpaste now sold in the USThe FDA requires this warning because children who swallow too much fluoride toothpaste can suffer acute poisoning, even death. Over 95% of the toothpaste sold in the U.S. contains fluoride. How to avoid toxic ingredients such as the ones found in Colgate, Sensodyne, Crest, Aquafresh, and MI paste.

Fluoride ion: risks from ingesting fluoride toothpaste include permanent tooth discoloration (dental fluorosis), stomach ailments, acute toxicity, skin rashes (perioral dermatitis), and impairment in glucose metabolism.

❌ Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), Synthetic dyes, Synthetic preservatives, Ethoxylated, Quaternary ammonium compounds, Microbeads, Parabens

Avoid Greenwashing Toothpaste

We already know how to avoid conventional toxic ingredients, but we also need to recognize these other controversial ingredients found in so many natural products pushed by many green beauty bloggers. These products contain controversial ingredients including California Proposition 65 Warnings.

❌ Hydroxyapatite (n-Ha): It is not FDA-Approved. Nano Hydroxyapatite is banned in Europe UE. On February 11, 2022, the European Commission notified the World Trade Organisation (WTO) of the future ban of nano Hydroxyapatite due to concerns that it may be genotoxic (damage the DNA).

Nano  Hydroxyapatite Nano-hydroxyapatite is a synthetic form of hydroxyapatite modified with a nano-scale crystalline structure.Toothpaste using nano-Ha have particle sizes between 20-80 nanometers (nm). The main benefit of nano-HAp is that it’s likely more able to prevent sensitive teeth than micro-HAp.

Micro Hydroxyapatite : The larger particle sizes can apply more pressure on various areas of your face or body. However, this can lead to irritation and discomfort if you have sensitive skin and should be avoided if possible! It’s likely more able to create sensitivity in your teeth than nano-HAp. Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) cannot conclude on the safety of hydroxyapatite.

❌ Titanium dioxideonce considered by the FDA as GRASE (generally recognized as safe and effective) and not misbranded, Titanium dioxide is no longer considered safe. Titanium dioxide: Classified as expected to be toxic or harmful. Toxic when it is ingested

❌ Silica: Persistence and bioaccumulation (high) Silicamany greenwashing brands are using it.  Silica is controversial when it is in powder form for its inhalation risks, particularly affecting the lungs and respiratory system and hydrated silica can be too rough and abrasive. It can strip away your enamel and dentin, creating sensitivity and leading to gum recession.  Harsh abrasives in toothpaste can lead to tooth sensitivity, especially if you brush too hard. Choose a soft-bristled toothbrush.

❌ Propanediol: Enhanced skin absorption, Endocrine disruption, and Irritation (skin, eyes, or lungs) (high)

❌ Soy: conventional soy, no organic ingredients which means you are getting pesticides.

Carrageenan: The International Agency for Research on Cancer and the National Research Council of the US both have determined that carrageenan is a carcinogen.

Phenoxyethanol: it is a preservative, and it can have adverse effects on the central and peripheral nervous systems, linked to allergic contact uritica and dermatitis. Classified as toxic or harmful. Made by the reaction of corrosive phenol with carcinogen ethylene oxide. Exposure to phenoxyethanol has been linked to reactions ranging from eczema[2] to severe, life-threatening allergic reactions.[3] Infant oral exposure to phenoxyethanol can acutely affect nervous system function.[4]

That’s why you need to read the label carefully! ​Check your toothpaste, if it contains fluoride, hydroxyapatite, or other not recommended ingredients such as sodium lauryl sulfate, carrageenan, and titanium dioxide, it is time to replace your toothpaste with a safer one! By choosing organic you are sure that only natural and safe ingredients are in your mouth! 👄

The Best Organic Toothpaste 

I don’t recommend using something synthetic that has not been properly tested since it ends up in the digestive system. I recommend an all-organic toothpaste made WITH ONLY natural ingredients and NO synthetic ingredients, a dental probiotic for cavity prevention, also natural mouthwash for extra cleaning, flossing, and oil pulling. 

🌿 By choosing organic you are sure that only natural and safe ingredients are in your mouth! 👄
