  Remember how disappointed I was in Weleda's Calendula Toothpaste? Well, thankfully my experience with their Plant Gel Toothpaste was much more pleasant. Ingredients (provided at usa.weleda.com)- “Glycerin, Water (Aqua), Hydrated Silica, Chamomilla Recutita Matricaria (Chamomile) Flower Extract,Krameria Triandra (Ratanhia) Root Extract,Commiphora Myrrha (Myrrh) Extract, Mentha Viridis (Spearmint) Leaf Oil, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil,Foeniculum Vulgare (Fennel) Oil, Algin, Alcohol,Esculin, Limonene* * from natural essential oils" This product receives a moderate hazard score of 3 in the Cosmetics Database. Limonene is the only ingredient with a hazard score above a 2.

When I shared my morning routine on No More Dirty Looks, I mentioned that I had been adding a few drops of peppermint essential oil to my less than impressive Weleda toothpaste. A few folks who commented on the post seemed to think that this was a really neat idea, so I thought I'd type up a little post about it just in case you didn't catch it on Alexandra and Siobhan's blog. Whether out of frugality or dedication, if you're powering...

In the past, I've encountered natural toothpastes that I love and natural toothpastes that I hate. I've come to realize that trying a new, natural toothpaste is quite the adventure. Until the toothbrush touches my teeth/gums/tongue, I'm not sure if I'm about to discover a new favorite or something so foul that I have to hold my nose to get through a few minutes of tooth-brushing. Ingredients (provided at nutrasanus.com)- “Calcium carbonate, aqua (purified water), vegetable glycerin, sodium cocoyl glutamate, mentha viridis (spearmint) leaf oil, carrageenan, aphanizomenon flos aquae (blue green algae), aloe barbadensis (aloe...

Oral hygiene is no laughing matter, and that's why I'm always hunting for the perfect toothpaste. In the past few years, I've tried, loved, and hated several different brands. My most recent purchase was a cinnamon-flavored toothpaste called Thera Neem Herbal Neem Toothpaste. It had both its high and low points. Ingredients- (provided at iherb.com)- “Calcium carbonate, aqua, sorbitol, glycerine, sodium lauroyl glutamate (derived from naturally occurring amino acid), xylitol, xanthan gum, guar gum (cyamopsis tetragonoloba), potassium sorbate, silica, supercritical extracts of grapeseed (vitis vinifera), clove bud* (eugenia caryophyllus), neem* (azadirachta indica) leaf and bark, cardamom* (elettaria cardamomum), star anise* (Illicium...

I drink tap water; I don’t need fluoride in my toothpase.

After trying several different kinds of Tom's of Maine toothpastes, I've come to realize that they are all flawed in some way or another.  Most of them have Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (and not to mention fluoride: don't even get me started on fluoride), and the ones that are SLS and fluoride free still don't freshen my breath.  I'm a frequent flosser, a mouth-washer, and a tongue brusher...so I'm pretty sure that it's no fault of my own. After giving up on Tom's of Maine, I decided to try Burt's Bees Fluoride-Free Whitening Toothpaste. Since Burt's Bees steers clear of SLS, I...

I rarely make a long-term commitment to any health and beauty product, but those listed below have a special place in my heart and in my beauty regimen. 1. Desert Essence tea tree oil mouthwash- Let's get real, natural toothpastes don't actually do much for bad breath.  Flossing and brushing are great for making my teeth look clean, but mouthwash is where it's at if I want to talk close to someone's face (and I do).  I love the way this stuff tastes, and it makes my breath downright pleasant. 2. Spring Valley tea tree oil (that walmart jurnt)- Can you tell...
