Top 5 Green Toothbrush Tips: Tom's Of Maine

tomsofmainetoothpaste_photos.gif

It has been a fun, and informative, top 5 so far. And you know, we just love typing ‘top 5’ because it reminds us how much we love the show Top 5. Top 5. Good show. And after posting about our four favourite recycled toothbrushes, we thought it might be nice to highlight a green toothpaste to go along with it. An eco-toothpaste, if you will.

Tom’s of Maine Natural Care Fluoride Toothpaste is an all-natural, peppermint flavored toothpaste with baking soda. It is flavored with natural oils rather than artificial sweeteners, preservatives or dyes for a nice taste, and includes baking soda to make your mouth feel extra fresh (whitens too, so they say).

This toothpaste features naturally sourced sodium monofluorophosphate as its active ingredient to provide cavity protection, and calcium to clean, and is the only natural brand to receive the American Dental Association’s Seal of Acceptance, as well as Halal certification meaning they are made in accordance with Islamic guidelines.

Since 1970, Tom’s of Maine has been manufacturing natural personal-care products packaged in recycled materials and made without artificial or animal ingredients or chemicals. Kudos to them.
