Toothpastes

In this category, you will find toothpastes with plant ingredients: herbal toothpaste in the Ayurvedic tradition, toothpaste with hemp oil, alkaline toothpaste without fluoride, and three toothpastes from the Bulgarian brand Rose Rio. They differ primarily in fluoride content, flavor, and the age at which the manufacturer allows their use.

Herbal Toothpaste Himalaya

Himalaya Ayurveda Gum Care comes in a 150 g tube, and the manufacturer also offers it in a smaller 80 g tube. The formula claims to contain 13 herbs and names neem, pomegranate, Triphala, nirgundi, vidanga, pilu, khadira, and bakula among them.

Triphala is a composition of three dried fruits, so under one name, there are three raw materials. Separately, the manufacturer indicates Vaikranta bhasma, a traditional Ayurvedic mineral preparation, which it describes as a natural source of fluoride. The toothpaste is used twice a day with a soft toothbrush.

Toothpaste with Hemp Oil Palacio

PALACIO HEMP & DENT comes in a 75 g tube, and hemp oil is listed in the ingredients, not just in the name. The cleaning base consists of calcium and corn starch. The manufacturer states that 97% of the ingredients are of natural origin.

The flavor is built by peppermint oil and anise oil, while menthol provides a cooling sensation. The toothpaste is suitable for children from the age of three: a pea-sized amount is sufficient, and after brushing, the child should rinse their mouth.

Rose Rio: rose, lavender, and spirulina

The Bulgarian brand Rose Rio packages its toothpastes in 65 ml tubes. The version with water from Damask rose flowers has four declarations on the packaging: fluoride-free, sugar-free, mint-free, and paraben-free. It is sweetened with xylitol and sodium saccharin, and the flavor is rose, not mint.

The Rose Rio toothpaste with spirulina has a green color from this algae, while Rose Rio Relax Lavender Water combines toothpaste with lavender water and lavender aroma. The manufacturer recommends using both twice a day.

Toothpastes: with fluoride or without, mint or not

Fluoride is the first thing to check, as it determines whether the toothpaste is even an option. Cannadent has an alkaline formula without fluoride and triclosan, while the rose version of Rose Rio declares no fluoride on the front of the box. In the Himalaya toothpaste, the source of fluoride is according to the manufacturer Vaikranta bhasma.

The second choice is flavor. Palacio combines mint, anise, and menthol, Rose Rio with rose water has no mint at all, while the lavender version focuses on lavender aroma. Cannadent relies on plant extracts and breath-freshening ingredients.

The third is age. The Palacio manufacturer allows use from the age of three, Cannadent is directed towards permanent teeth, and the choice of toothpaste for a child is worth discussing with a dentist. Children should brush their teeth under adult supervision.

What to check in the ingredients

Compare capacity in the same unit: some toothpastes are listed in grams, such as 150 g and 75 g, while Rose Rio uses milliliters, which is 65 ml. Also, check what the toothpaste is sweetened with. Sorbitol, xylitol, and sodium saccharin are sugar substitutes that provide flavor without sucrose.

Pay attention to the foaming agent and fragrance. The rose toothpaste from Rose Rio contains sodium lauryl sulfate and citronellol, geraniol, and linalool, which are fragrance components that may cause allergies in some individuals. You spit out the toothpaste and rinse your mouth with water, do not swallow it.
