I picked this up at the supermarket one time as I read 'natural herbal' and thought it might be interesting to try as I had been trying out some more natural products. My tired brain didn't click that 'natural' would mean 'fluoride-free' and it wasn't until I later read the packet I realised this. I am very pro-fluoride and unfortunately knew straight away I wouldn't be using this after the tube was through but I thought I might as well give it a go.
This has a slight herbal taste which I found pretty unusual. It's not too overwhelming but it's not much to my liking and I still prefer the taste of a normal minty toothpaste, I find it leaves my mouth feeling a lot fresher.
I also think the texture is really bizarre, it could just be because I'm used to the smoothness of a standard toothpaste but this one felt really gritty. It reminds me a lot of that gritty paste you get given at the dentist.
In terms of performance, I haven't noticed much difference in the few weeks I have been using it to my usual toothpaste except in whiteness. I normally use a whitening toothpaste as I drink a LOT of coffee, despite the claim to whiten teeth I found my teeth looking slightly more discoloured than normal.
I won't be repurchasing this again.
I got this on a whim when I was away from home for work and had forgotten to pack toothpaste. I had recently read an article about how fluoride can damage your brain, so I was keen to try something more natural.
The price was really good and the tube is the same size as a regular tube. However, as much as I tried, I could not abide the taste. I actually had such an aversion to it that I felt like I was going to be sick when I was using it.
To be fair to the product however, I really, really dislike it when toothpaste doesn't taste like mint. This doesn't really. It tastes sort of weird and herbally with a hint of mint - it's a kind of strange sweet/minty taste. My sister really likes the taste (I gave her the tube after using it for 2 1/2 weeks and giving up on it).
Because I loathed the taste so much I will never use this again. I just disliked the taste so vehemently. It did make my teeth feel clean and fresh but I am a sucker for minty/chemical laden toothpaste.
This is definitely a massive miss for me but if you can handle the taste then I would recommend it for a more natural alternative.
