Redmond Earthpaste with Silver - Natural Non-Fluoride Toothpaste, 4 Ounce Tube (Lemon Twist)

simply the best toothpaste ive ever used. Smells awesome and cleans my teeth very well! No flouride or any toxic harmful chemicals which makes this product the best!

As advertised

I have tried two other fluoride-free toothpastes over the course of more than a year and this is by far the best. However, I haven't seen anyone else's review properly address something, so let's get this clear. This toothpaste contains, naturally occurring lead. But wait, there's more!Before purchasing I came across one or two reviews by, clearly absolutely paranoid people, who put the two words, lead, and poisonous together, and simply decided to make everyone else paranoid, warning to keep your yourself and your loved ones far from this product - how ironic.Do yourself a bit of proper Googling, including reading about how the manufacturer of this toothpaste, and actual scientific facts (which you can Google completely separately) point to, the fact that you are already eating naturally occurring lead, found in your beef, honey, brussel sprouts, italian salad dressing, watermelons, raisins, cucumbers, granola cereal, red apples, strawberries, and much more. Now on to better things.Upon the first time using this, I noticed it did not have the foaming agents that literally every other toothpaste ever uses. It's a bit weird to get used to this somewhat goopy stuff after using foamy toothpastes my whole life, but I'm glad that whatever that stuff is, is not in this toothpaste because it is noticeable. From the other 2 fluoride-free toothpastes I have tried before this, one of them had that particular foaming agent, and this is how I can tell the difference - I'll never go back, it's completely unnecessary and harmful. This toothpaste is what you want.It's nice to not have your mouth bombarded with chemicals and that oh-so familiar, burning and long lasting minty after effect we're all so used to. Doesn't breakfast taste just awesome after brushing your teeth?And I hate to use the word fresh here because it will sound cliche, but the freshness and cleanliness this leaves my mouth with every morning and night is seriously something to be rivaled with.I have only purchased the lemon flavor, and it tastes great, no complaints and better than I expected being so used to overpowering flavours in conventional toothpastes (I use this along with my Dr Bronner's Castile Soap in Citrus, it's nice). I'm really interested in the other flavours available so I might edit this later once I get a chance to try another one.

I went in search of a clay based toothpaste for remineralization purposes after a trip to the dentist revealed I had a bunch of small cavities and doing some research on the Internet to possibly avoid further damage/avoid some fillings. So I purchased this with come coconut oil for oil pulling after brushing (I plan on using it like a mouthwash). I was expecting this toothpaste to be super gross and gritty and I was pleasantly surprised! It does smell gently of lemon, though taste wise I didn't really notice lemon, or any other flavor really. I am pretty sensitive to taste and texture (certain foods will make me gag even if it tastes really good with the wrong texture) and I didn't have any problems at all! I love the way it smells and my teeth feel really clean. My teeth are nice and smooth and not slippery like with your traditional fluoride toothpaste. I equate it to the clean feeling like after you've been to the dentist. I also use a Braun electric toothbrush so that may help contribute to that. I especially love that there is NO gross aftertaste like I get with any kind of standard toothpaste (I also particularly hate just about every variation of mint so I had to settle with pronamel gentle whitening) or gross taste altering so yes you can have your orange juice after brushing. It does seem to "dissolve" after you start brushing but I don't feel that it doesn't mean it's not cleaning my teeth effectively. I do notice a very fine grit in the toothpaste if I grind my teeth together but it's not enough to bother me. I did pause a little at the lead warning but I did look it up and here is what their webpage says:Prop 65 lists of over 900 substances, including lead, that businesses are required to warn consumers about. Lead is a natural element in soil, so it can be found in trace amounts in anything that is grown or drawn from the earth — including fruits, vegetables, and, of course, Earthpaste.Since our bodies can’t absorb naturally occurring lead in many natural products, like Bentonite clay, proposition 65 allows exemptions for natural products like mixed nuts and brussels sprouts that would otherwise have to claim lead levels many times more than the limit imposed by the legislation. We believe Earthpaste falls under the exempted products definition, but we’re pretty cautious around here, and not terribly interested in defending civil action by prop 65 watchdogs hoping for a settlement or share of daily fines. So we updated our packaging to avoid the kind of mess that would be hard for a company our size to weather.And if that doesn't convince you, know that it's not by some process that the lead ends up in the toothpaste, it is naturally occurring in bentonite clay! As for the reviewer that said to do your research (citing an article where the writer also says you won't find lead in fruit because the fruit doesn't touch the soil) doesn't know that lead in water is incredibly dangerous because it is unbound lead! It binds to your body where it causes problems by lingering and building up. Yes the clay is found deep down in the earth so it will contain trace amounts of other minerals including lead. Here is a little of the science behind why bentonite binds lead as well as other toxins:While bentonite clay does contain small amounts of lead, it’s thankfully not bioavailable to the body… meaning that the lead doesn’t leach out of the clay and into the body. It’s already bound by the clay and held there.Bentonite clay has a negative electrical charge and is searching for things that have a positive charge… like lead. So even though it contains trace amounts of lead, it’s holding on tight to the lead, not letting it go in your or your child’s body.I hate to see people jumping to criticize companies that are trying to be responsible without knowing the background behind the warnings. I am an engineer for a company that manufactures the instruments that labs use to see how much of any element is in a sample. This includes wastewater testing for mine sites as well as companies that manufacture electronics and test lead paint against state standards. The standards by which the test the water is more lenient than anything earthpaste has to contend with so trust that it's an insignificant amount you could potentially be ingesting (that you will pass anyways). Lead is everywhere, and getting it from this toothpaste is one product you don't have to worry about.[...][...]

Teeth feel very clean with this toothpaste. It's the best toothpaste I ever tried so far and I like that the ingredients aren't harsh on teeth, gums or general health. I'm getting the whole family to switch to this toothpaste.

I like this toothpaste. It has no nasties in it whatsoever. Tastes quite nice but I am not bothered about having "minty fresh" breath. I use it once a day, and the other time I use Dr Bronner's bar soap to make sure my teeth are bug free and squeaky clean. Earthpaste tastes as it sounds. It has plenty of clay and feels like clay to brush with, but I find that pleasant. I am well used to using bentonite clay but to some it will take a little getting used to. However persevere as you will be doing your body a big favour. As I said earlier; no nasties like flouride and sls or glycerine. It is nigh on impossible to find toothpaste with glycerine these days, even in the health shop.

Refreshing cleanser with clean ingredients. Best toothpaste. Awesome taste. Will buy again.
