Red Seal Natural Herbal Review

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.

I have been using this toothpaste for years, it's great! My favourite is Herbal but I also like Natural and Lemon. It leaves my whole mouth feeling sparkly clean and so fresh. I find other toothpastes a bit too strong and burny but this is gentle and tastes good.

I've used this toothpaste at a friend's place several times now. I was excited to try it out, I love and am all for products that are more natural. As a toothpaste it works perfectly fine, my teeth were clean and my breath was fresh, great.

I just can't get over the texture or the taste. The texture isn't smooth like you'd expect your typical toothpaste to be, I found it kind of grainy. Once you start brushing your teeth with it the graininess does disintegrate somewhat, but then the taste is something else entirely, it just didn't feel right brushing my teeth with it.

I would try this again and see if I can get used to it (perhaps in a different flavour) because I do want to use a more natural toothpaste.

this is about the only toothpaste and the smokers one that doesnt give my hubby and i yucky breath

he suffers from gingervitus (excuse spelling) and this works a treat

it is very natural thats for sure and has a pasty feel to it. def great toothpaste for the kidlets as well as it has no baddies in it! great bonus for a greeny family

buy every week and love it!

I've tried this a couple of times, but I just don't like it.

I find that the texture is a bit grainy, which I find weird, although I guess it's just something that you can get used to over time.

It does a perfectly fine job at cleaning your teeth, which is the important thing, and it does get rid of 'morning breath' (ew, yucky!) as well.

However the main reason I won't reuse, is that I just can't get past the taste. This is a personal thing, but I have to use minty-flavoured toothpaste or I don't feel like I've cleaned my teeth properly, no matter how silly that is. For that reason, plus the texture-issue, I won't repurchase.

If you're not worried about mintiness, however, it could be worth a try.

Hope that helps some of you! xx

I bought this toothpaste recently after seeing it repeatedly at a friends place. I have to say I quite like it too. The taste isn't too minty and it has a bit of a sweetness to it. I also quite like the baking soda sort of texture too because it feels like it is scrubbing my teeth properly. The price was good too. I have read some of the other reviews and am surprised some really don't like it.

I first tried this when I purchased a magazine and it came with a goodie bag full of household items and this was a full size sample... I was keen to try a new toothpaste anyway so thought give it a go.

Now I have quite a strong gag reflex where most toothpastes will activate it and have me dry retching; sadly this one was no exception. I did perservere with it though because as I said most pastes have the same issue (except gels). So the verdict after using it for 3 weeks... well my teeth felt clean... the taste isn't overpowering and well my teeth... starting to look a bit more discoloured than usual. Back to the previous brand I was using but hubby likes it so he has re-purchased it.

So there you have it... not for me but hubby and kids are ok with it.

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.

Excellent product. Great at keeping those stains at bay. Cost effective. Lasts a long time and no added chemicals to strip the enamel on your teeth. I will not use another toothpaste again. Have used this one for years and the smokers and baking soda version. Equally fantastic products!

I brought this because it was on special and I wanted to try a toothpaste without that harsh, aggressive mint flavoring that makes me feel ill. So far this toothpaste has been great, the flavor is pleasant and not overpowering and I have noticed an improvement in the health of my mouth. I've tried the baking soda one and didn't think much of it, but this toothpaste is great.
