Why are natural toothpastes better for your teeth?

Have you ever looked at the composition of your toothpaste? Too often neglected, toothpaste is a bathroom essential, used at least 2 times a day! Here's what you stand to gain from adding natural toothpaste to your clean beauty routine.

What is the difference between natural and conventional toothpaste?

You may not have realised it, but the ingredients in conventional toothpastes are far from perfect and are the subject of much controversy. Controversial ingredients in conventional toothpastes include 

  • Triclosan, suspected of being a potential endocrine disruptor;
  • Some sulfates are potentially carcinogenic; 
  • Titanium dioxide, supposedly toxic; 
  • Fluorine, suspected of being a potential endocrine disruptor and carcinogen. 

What's more, conventional toothpastes are also full of artificial fragrances, colorants and preservatives. All these chemical elements make for an explosive cocktail that we could do without! 

It's true that all these chemical ingredients contribute greatly to the sensoriality of your toothpaste (generous foam, pleasant texture, minty fragrance, etc.) but once you become aware of their potential harmfulness, it's better to choose natural toothpaste. And guess what: some natural toothpastes don't even require you to make a compromise between effectiveness and sensoriality! 

Why should you choose natural toothpaste instead?

If a few years ago, natural toothpaste was synonymous with non-foaming paste and relative freshness, this is no longer the case.

The natural beauty sector has made a lot of progress in recent years. Some brands, such as Lebon for example, now offer natural toothpastes so sensory that you will never want to take your old tube back... 

Natural toothpaste is the 100% clean alternative to conventional toothpaste, which does not use potentially harmful components and favors natural ingredients such as :

  • Baking soda, very effective in reducing small stains and antibacterial
  • Essential oils, for their antimicrobial properties and their perfuming power;
  • Plant extracts, for a fresh and soothing effect...
  • Trace elements, to strengthen the gums. 

So there's no need to compromise between natural toothpaste, effectiveness and sensoriality. And, if you're still not convinced, we invite you to read the testimonial of our founder Juliette, in which she shares her transition to natural and clean toothpaste. 

What is the best natural toothpaste?

Obviously, not all natural toothpastes are equal and even if some of them are very close to conventional toothpastes, there can sometimes be small differences ... Indeed, a natural toothpaste without sulfate does not produce a foam as generous as its conventional counterpart, its quantity is a little lower but it is not absent either. It's time to clear up a common misconception: less foaming doesn't mean that it washes less well! 

Finally, the best natural toothpaste is the one that meets your requirements: and yes, we all have different expectations in terms of toothpaste. Some people like solid or powdered toothpaste (often less foaming), while others prefer fresh, foaming textures with a minty scent.
