1. NF CO. NATURAL TOOTHPASTE

After much research, lab tweaks and tooth brushing, the team at NFco in Australia have developed a range that checks all the boxes: a toothpaste with a fresh, minty taste, effective cleaning and plaque removal with no surprises. As you’d expect, NFco toothpaste is made with the highest-grade natural ingredients with 70% of those ingredients being ORGANIC!

The Australian-made gel formula with Native Australian River Mint is rich in Xylitol and free from fluoride, SLS, parabens & harsh chemicals.

If you didn’t know, Australian River Mint (Mentha Australis) is native to the wild, pristine rain forests and waterways of eastern Australia. It is known for its fresh aromatic flavour and is used by indigenous Australians for medicinal purposes.

It contains 25% Xylitol – Amongst the highest available for cavity prevention without the use of fluoride.

Vegan – Non GMO – Fluoride Free – Paraben Free – Gluten Free – Soy Free – Sugar Free – No Artificial Flavours or Colours – Cruelty Free – SLS Free

Comes in 3 formulas depending on your needs: ORIGINAL & CLASSIC, SENSITIVE & GENTLE, and WHITENING & GLOW

And best of all, it’s suitable for the whole family! NFco Original Toothpaste variety is even safe for all ages from 6 months old+ (providing your little one is a ‘minty kid’…) BUT if not, they also have their children brand line JACK N’ JILL

2. GRIN NATURAL TOOTHPASTE

This company, based out of New Zealand, wanted to create a toothpaste different to the rest, one that is natural with NO sodium lauryl sulfate, NO added sugar, NO preservatives, NO artificial colors, NO artificial flavours, NO fragrance and NO harsh abrasives. It was as much about what they were leaving out as what they were putting in.

In 2015 after 18 months of researching, testing and refining, Grin was born! Not only is Grin toothpaste missing all the nasties, it’s natural active ingredients; Manuka Oil, Propolis and Organic Sea Salt, based on their laboratory test results, show good ability to combat the six common oral bacteria.

The products are also palm oil free—important for the environment, the orangutans and all the other diverse creatures with whom we share planet Earth. Read more about why being PALM OIL FREE is important HERE.

Comes in 2 formulas: FRESHENING AND WHITENING

The FRESHENING toothpaste is the only toothpaste I know of that contains Manuka Oil, which, if you know anything about manuka from New Zealand, has natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.

These 2 toothpastes contain bee ingredients which does not make them vegan. Also do not use if you have allergies to bee products. Read more about the ingredients HERE.

They also have their children’s line which IS vegan and does not contain any bee ingredients. Check out GRIN KIDS HERE.

3. SPRY NATURAL TOOTHPASTE

So many toothpastes on the market contain worrisome ingredients like triclosan and sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS).

Spry Fluoride-Free Toothpastes takes a different approach, instead using only proven, natural ingredients, like xylitol, cranberry extract, and Aloe Vera. Xylitol inhibits harmful bacteria from sticking to teeth and gums, so they can’t form the colonies that cause dental problems like cavities. Cranberry extract offers further protection from bacteria and enhances the anti-irritation properties of the Aloe Vera. You also get fresh, cool breath in the healthiest of ways.

Spry products are also GLUTEN-FREE, FLUORIDE-FREE and VEGAN!

Comes in 2 refreshing flavours: PEPPERMINT AND CINNAMON (Minty fresh toothpaste is great and all, but sometimes you need to spice things up!)

There you have it!!

The top 3 natural toothpastes recommended for those looking to avoid harsh chemicals AND contain ingredients that fit your lifestyle!
