Powder toothpaste will surprise you

Toothpaste is one of the hygiene products we use every day, we cannot do without it for our oral health. It keeps cavities away as well as gum inflammation. But we question it because of its ingredients that are harmful to our health such as fluoride, paraben, foaming agent (SLS), triclosan… Let us also note its plastic container which is far from being good for our environment. There is no question of doing without toothpaste however, the safest alternative for our health and for our planet is powder toothpaste .

The toxicity of conventional toothpaste

Conventional toothpaste, which we've been using for years and are easily found in supermarkets and pharmacies, contains substances that are harmful to our planet and our health. Among the most dangerous ingredients is triclosan, an endocrine disruptor that causes developmental and reproductive abnormalities. Fluoride is also an endocrine disruptor considered carcinogenic when ingested in excessive doses. Propylene glycol is also dangerously toxic. Titanium dioxide, which is used to whiten teeth, can weaken the immune system. SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) is a surfactant that creates foam and provides a detergent effect, and is potentially carcinogenic. The preservatives propylparaben and butylparaben are dangerous parabens, as are other risky ingredients such as diethanolamine (SEA) and saccharin. It is actually possible to avoid all these toxic components by opting for more natural products like powdered toothpaste .

The different reasons to choose powder toothpaste

Powdered toothpaste is an organic product that is just as effective as conventional toothpaste. It cleans teeth well, perfectly removes plaque, ensures good breath, and prevents cavities. To replace the harmful ingredients in traditional toothpaste, powdered toothpaste uses essential oils as antibacterial agents as well as plant extracts for fresh breath and an antiseptic, soothing, and invigorating effect. It also contains specific active ingredients such as sage for sensitive gums, activated charcoal for whiter teeth, and lemon to remove stains and fight tartar. But let's not forget trace elements and sea salts to tone and strengthen gums. Note that the toothpaste does not contain foaming agents or artificial flavors; these are replaced by baking soda, giving it a less smooth texture and a less sweet taste. Powdered toothpaste is economical and convenient, and it has a very long shelf life. There is no expiration date.
