Cannot stand the taste.

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.

My go to

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.

Grainy texture, unusual taste

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.

regular buyer

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!

No fluoride but still contains SLS and glycerine

Great herbal fresh taste (especially the smokers variety which is also a fantastic tooth whitener due to the dolomite powder it contains) however this product range annoys me a little as despite it's claims to be natural and fluoride free (which I agree should be avoided) most of the varieties still contain SLS which is a known problem chemical for many people and present in all main-stream brands. Also the smokers variant which was the last tube I bought contains sodium saccharin as a sweetner which is another toxic chemical I would want to avoid. It also concerns me that many natural brands are still including glycerine as a major component of their toothpastes which is linked to tooth decay and prevents re-mineralisation of enamel (you can research online for more information about this). Overall an ok and affordable option if you are trying to avoid fluoride containing mainstream brands but this is another green-washed brand of toothpaste in my opinion.

Not for me.

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

The Taste Bleurgh!

I'm really hesitant to review this product. To be entirely fair I didn't give it a proper go and I feel I can't really comment on it's effectiveness.

I only used this a few times before rushing out and buying a regular chemical laden toothpaste. My reason? The taste!

I could not get past that taste. The reason why I am reviewing is because, as on oral product, I feel taste is one of the defining drivers behind purchase. I am no fan of aniseed and upon opening I knew I had made a terrible mistake. It's also sweetened with stevia which I find gives a highly unpleasant mouth finish.

It did do a serviceable job of cleaning my teeth though so I wouldn't shy away from recommending it (I passed on the tube to a friend in fact)

Tips: Read the ingredients first on all products if, like me, you have taste aversions. A lesson I should have learnt a long time ago but repeat often

different

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.

Good but not the greatest

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.

Fluoride free!!

I love this brand of toothpaste! Fluoride free is hard to find in a toothpaste. I love the taste and the almost gritty, graininess of the paste as it leaves my teeth feeling super clean. LOVE red seal!
