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

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.[...][...]

Yeap it’s a paste, all natural, with silver, great taste no foam, and it really cleans and whitens you teeth naturally without harmful chemicals. #1. The best on the market!!! I would definitely recommend it!

This is my 3rd purchase of this toothpaste. I don't care for mint, so this flavor is perfect. But, most of all, I was looking for toothpaste without fluoride - and this fits the bill perfectly.Not gritty. No weird taste. My teeth feel clean.Also, I have had a lot of issues with my teeth. This toothpaste does not create sensitivity or otherwise aggravate my teeth.

Bought this product because I wanted a natural vegan option for brushing. I've tried other brands like Toms and Jason and frankly wasn't impressed.I LOOOOOVE anything lemon so I was sold. Price was a little steep, but hey why not?So shipping was right on time and the product was well sealed.Color is....odd but that didn't exactly ruin it for me. The texture is like a gel and it cleans well. My only gripe is WHERE IS THE LEMON????? I seriously do not taste lemon. I was expecting to brush my teeth with Lemon Head esk lemoniness. Sorely disappointed with the lack of lemon flavor. Don't get me wrong it does not taste bad at all, just not what I expected. Not sure if I will buy again mostly because I was ok with the price to have a lemon toothpaste and a lemon flavored toothpaste is not quite what I got.

Not only is this toothpaste completely natural, but it also effectively cleans my teeth and has a wonderful lemon flavour. When my teeth feel fuzzy, if I brush my teeth with this Earthpaste, then my teeth will feel smooth immediately after. My hygienist said that my oral hygiene is great, which means the Earthpaste must be working well. In addition, the product impressed my mom who is my dentist (which says something). She started using Earthpaste too! The toothpaste’s lemon flavour is very pleasant and is my favorite of all the Earthpaste flavours. Tasting this lemon twist is comparable to savoring a dessert of lemon pound cake while brushing my teeth. It does not surprise me that this flavour is the one recommended for kids.This toothpaste’s two downsides, which really are not huge cons at all, are the trace amount of lead it contains and the brown residue it leaves in the sink. The clay in the Earthpaste has minute amounts of naturally occurring lead. I do not mind since I am not swallowing the toothpaste, and if I must choose between a toothpaste laden with harmful man-made chemicals and a toothpaste containing traces of naturally occurring lead, then I would choose the latter. As for Earthpaste’s brown residue, it can be easily rinsed down the drain or wiped from the sink with a cloth, and that is a small price to pay for a natural toothpaste.Being natural, effective, and pleasantly flavourful, Lemon Twist Earthpaste is the best toothpaste out there, in my opinion. I am totally a fan! It is worth noting that I disliked toothpaste ever since I was a tiny kid. When I decided to give Earthpaste a try, it was the first time in ten to fifteen years that I used any kind of toothpaste, homemade or commercially made, at all. I am so happy I finally found the toothpaste right for me.
