OUR MOST RECOMMENDED

Rose Citron Mint Toothpaste

Rating:

A natural toothpaste that leaves my mouth feeling fresh...it can't be! Alas! I have found it my friends. The Rose Citron toothpaste has a minty taste to it without that added salty baking soda flavour like in other natural toothpastes I've tried. On top of this, it actually foams a little when brushing because of the presence of Coco Glucoside; a natural foaming agent!

Nelson Naturals Moringa Mineral Rich Toothpaste - Forest Fresh

Rating:

As my first zero-waste toothpaste contender, I was a bit skeptical of the differences in colour and texture. However, after a month of using this brand, I went to the dentist and left with zero cavities and a mouth full of healthy teeth. Although the paste does not foam up as much as regular toothpaste, my mouth felt minty fresh after brushing (which is extremely important to me!).

OTHER TOOTHPASTES

CRUSH & BRUSH TOOTHPASTE TABLETS

I tried two flavours of Crush & Brush tablets including Mint Charcoal and just regular Mint. The tablets were convenient because they are pre-portioned (I used one tablet each time I brushed). To use them you have to first crush them with your teeth, and as it mixes with the water (or saliva) in your mouth it fizzes and liquifies. The texture was drippy and I didn't like that I had to chew the tablets. Although there was a hint of mint present, the salty baking soda taste was more prominent.

NELSON NATURALS COLLOIDAL SILVER

This is Nelson Naturals 'classic' toothpaste. As far as effectiveness, the toothpaste met my satisfaction. My teeth remained white and my mouth stayed healthy! However, although the ingredients hint at flavours of peppermint, rosemary, and clove, my taste buds would say otherwise. It tasted salty, and I wasn't left with a fresh mint taste in my mouth. The texture was also very drippy, unlike conventional toothpaste that foams in your mouth. So, the overall experience was not the most enjoyable.
