Furthermore, our toothpastes our made with real flavours without any chemically engineered synthetic flavours (or dyes), making it better for us and our environment! The toothpastes contain natural antibacterial agents such as Xylitol, lemon and tea tree extracts. Xylitol occurs naturally in fruits and vegetables, including berries, apples, and plums.

No synthetic chemicals
Organic systems prohibit the use of artificial chemicals, pesticides and fertilizers.

This Toothpaste DOESN'T Contain Propylene Glycol and Butylene Glycol:
Petroleum plastics act as surfactants (wetting agents, solvents). EPA considers Propylene Glycol so toxic it requires protective gloves, clothing, goggles and disposal by burying. Because Propylene Glycol penetrates skin so quickly, EPA warns against skin contact to prevent brain, liver, and kidney abnormalities. There is NO warning label on products where concentration is greater than in most industrial applications. Used as a solvent, propylene glycol is probably THE most common ingredient found in personal-care items, such as make-up, hair products, lotions, after-shave, deodorants, mouthwashes, and toothpaste. (Check the labels of your favourite products!!) It is also the active component in antifreeze; and there is no difference between what's used in industry and what you apply to your skin! Industry uses it to break down protein and cellular structure (what the skin is made of); it's so strong that it can take barnacles off the bottom of boats.

But because it is so inexpensive, it is widely used in very high concentrations in most personal care formulations even ones from "natural food" stores.
