Why use organic toothpaste?

A toothpaste plays 2 main roles: protecting enamel and sanitizing the oral cavity. However, not all toothpastes are equal, especially when they are full of chemical ingredients. The solution: organic toothpaste. How to choose it and, above all, why use organic toothpaste? We will explain all this to you.

Organic toothpaste, a certified natural care product

As its name suggests, organic toothpaste mainly contains natural ingredients or those derived from organic farming.

To qualify for this designation, the toothpaste concerned must bear a certified label such as Cosmébio COSMOS ORGANIC.

Moreover, organic toothpaste contains 95% plant-based or organic components. Therefore, it does not contain any synthetic chemical preservatives.

In other words, the recipe for organic toothpaste is relatively simple, as all controversial ingredients are eliminated from the start. At Endro Cosmétiques, for example, our organic toothpaste contains no colorants, titanium dioxide, or sulphated foaming agents.

As for the taste of organic toothpastes, they come from the essential oils present in their formula.

Here's a brief overview of the composition of Endro Cosmétiques' organic lemon zest toothpaste:

• Calcium carbonate.
• Coconut oil (not forgetting the foaming agent also derived from coconut).
• Lemon zest essential oil for a fresh feeling in the mouth.
  

Organic toothpaste, good for your health from A to Z

Assuming that organic toothpaste and classic toothpaste satisfy the same needs, why then use organic toothpaste? It's probably better to assess their respective impacts on health before making a judgment.

Stop classic and toxic toothpastes

You have certainly heard of substances described as endocrine disruptors. Do you know that classic toothpaste contains this type of substance? In addition to petrochemical derivatives, it contains various substances harmful to health, such as pesticides.

All these ingredients give a toothpaste a thick and foamy texture at the same time. However, it's impossible to ignore the harmful effects of these products on health over time. It's also impossible not to swallow a small amount with each brushing, despite all precautions.

However, some of these substances can play a role in the onset of kidney failure. Others are suspected of causing certain cancers.

The worst part is that it's not just toothpaste that contains all these endocrine disruptors. Other classic care products and cosmetics also contain them. It is this accumulation in the body that can cause dangers.

Among the most dangerous additives, we can cite:

• Triclosan is used as a powerful antibacterial but is also an endocrine disruptor suspected of being carcinogenic. It is found in toothpastes, deodorants, mouthwashes and skin care products... This ingredient is not essential in cosmetic formulas. In addition to its toxicity to the body, it degrades very poorly in the environment and remains present for a long time in soils and water if released in too large quantities.
• Detergents such as Sodium Lauryl Sulfate are known for their irritating effects.
• Parabens (Butylparaben, Propylparaben, Sodium propylparaben) are used as preservatives but are also considered endocrine disruptors.

Welcome to beautiful organic toothpaste

Toothpaste with natural ingredients is good for your health, unlike its classic counterpart. That's the whole point of opting for an organic toothpaste, which doesn't expose you to unreasonable risks. Because instead of these chemical components, manufacturers of organic toothpastes rely on natural substances such as:

• Red algae extracts.
• Calcium carbonate.
• Xylitol.
• Flax glycerin.
• An extremely mild foaming agent derived from coconut oil.
• Etc.

These are all raw materials from which Endro Cosmétiques draws its effectiveness.

At first, you might be a little surprised by a new texture in your mouth. Very quickly, you will get used to the luxury combined with nature and feel the big difference from the very first tooth brushing.

Natural organic toothpaste with its eco-friendly hygiene accessories

Because organic rhymes with eco-friendly, you'll want to adopt a range of dental hygiene products by acquiring a toothbrush that is as eco-friendly as your toothpaste. In this case, make room for a bamboo toothbrush.

First, bamboo: it's a more than interesting material for an ecological and hygienic approach to toothbrush manufacturing. Originating from Asia, bamboo grows at a dizzying speed without being water-intensive. The plant is so resistant that it doesn't need pesticides to grow peacefully. With such a low environmental impact, bamboo cane is therefore the perfect material for making toothbrushes that meet our expectations: organic and eco-friendly.

But Mother Nature goes even further. She has made bamboo a naturally antimicrobial plant. It's truly amazing. In other words, using organic toothpaste with an organic bamboo toothbrush helps fight the multiplication of bacteria and viruses between the teeth and at the gum line. This will make you smile after every brushing.

And of course, after 3 to 4 months of organic and loyal service, the bamboo toothbrush must be replaced. And guess what? This toothbrush is "compostable".

Join the movement now by adopting an effective toothpaste made from organic ingredients, accompanied by its equally natural accessories.
