When was the last time you read a toothpaste label?
Harsh chemicals, artificial colors and thickeners have no place in our tablets. We took away the bad ingredients, kept only the good ones and pressed them into our Alternative+ toothpaste tabs.
Something we use twice a day, every day, should be made from ingredients that are healthy for us. We are committed to using ingredients that are not tested on animals as well!
Here’s what we put inside to give you a healthier, brighter smile.

Mild Abrasives

Protection

Fluoride is backed by dentists and certified by professionals. it helps prevent tooth decay – in fact, European Dental Association has backed fluoride as “safe, effective and necessary in preventing tooth decay”. … when used as directed, minimising that amount that is swallowed, fluoride toothpaste is safe and effective.
- Sodium Fluoride
Ingredients should be very important. Certain harsh detergents or other ingredients may have potentially harmful side effects, whether natural or chemical. Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) or the antimicrobial agent triclosan should be on your no-no list. For natural ingredients, tea tree oil, a potent anti-fungal, should also be avoided.
