Toothpastes can contain a lot of crazy ingredients. Ingredients that are not needed and may even be doing more harm than any good.

Ingredients like propylparaben, methylparaben, propylene glycol, sodium fluoride, artificial colorings and so much more.

Most of these ingredients come with organ system toxicity concerns, endocrine disruption concerns, and at very least allergen concerns.

If you are curious as to what is in your current toothpaste and how it might be harming you, I suggest heading over to the EWG’s cosmetic database and looking up your current brand.

But we need toothpaste! So what do we do? I choose to make my own toothpaste (and my kids’ toothpaste) but my husband doesn’t love the homemade toothpaste… so we buy toothpaste for him.

There are so many brands out there that it’s hard to pick one that is a good choice. Even the more natural toothpastes out there can have not so great ingredients.

To help you in your toothpaste quest I’ve put together a list of some of the more popular natural toothpastes that are on the safer side.

While some of these toothpastes are not perfect, I have made sure to only list toothpastes that are free of the big concerns such as: fluoride, triclosan, sodium lauryl sulfate, propylene glycol, diethanolamine.
