Comvita’s Natural Propolis Toothpaste

I didn't like this , it was expensive and didn't taste too great. It went a weird off colour. A no from me.

I managed to purchase this for $2 on an online sale. I have been using it for almost a month now. It tastes different, herbal? it's not a bad thing. It's not a bad taste or a good taste. The gel itself is a murky green colour. I haven't noticed my teeth looking brighter, though my teeth do feel clean after use.

I'm not a huge fan of this, i'll most likely go back to my Redseal toothpaste when this one is finished.

Anyone who knows me knows I love my natural products and there is a shortage of natural toothpastes in the supermarket.

I found this at their retail store, Experience Comvita, in Paengaroa, Te Puke. Side note, if you're passing through it's worth a visit. They release all new products there first and you can learn some interesting stuff. But back to the toothpaste.

Propolis toothpaste is supposed to be a great natural alternative to synthetic toothpastes. With the 'bee glue' strengthening and repairing as well as being anti-bacterial.

As a toothpaste it was a bit more expensive than my usually toothpastes. Tastewise it was mint with something else that I couldn't identify. Texturewise it felt more stiff than my normal toothpaste as well.

What I really like is that it's natural and unlike some supermarket versions, this one is free of Sodium Lauryl Sulfate.

I don't particularly love the price, the taste or the texture. But that is sometimes the trade off with natural products.

I used this in the mornings and a normal fluoride toothpaste at night and I honestly have no idea if I could take fluoride out of the equation and still have good teeth. But this way I felt like I wasn't using so much synthetic product.

It's the best natural product so I would repurchase. I'm also currently using their whitening toothpaste (both are $10 at Comvita).

I tried this as my mum had strongly recommended it. I wasn't sure what to expect but I didn't like it at all. The texture is a bit strange, doesn't froth so it felt weird, and it tasted funny. Also I think because it lacks the minty smell/flavour I am so used to in toothpastes it just fell short of expectations. I think I would only use it if all the Sensodyne/Colgate/Macleans factories closed down.

This is a great toothpaste, it leaves my whole mouth feeling super fresh and clean and tastes good.

I love that it is free of some nasties in other toothpastes. It is a bit pricey so I switch it up with the Red Seal ones.
