Congrats to Valerie Williams for winning the Pure Indian Foods Giveaway! I have sent you an email.
Toothpaste. It’s one of those basic necessities that we don’t often put much thought into. But as naturally minded people, a product we use to scrub our teeth – inside our mouth, which absorbs products easily – should be a serious consideration!
I have talked about some of the surprising research on how teeth health and diet is related here. When I started learning about this topic, I also wanted to use toothpaste that supported what my diet was hopefully doing.
And that’s where it got tricky.
I found that a lot of homemade recipes for toothpaste or natural toothpastes on the market were hard on my teeth when used for months at a time. I don’t consider my teeth super sensitive, but over time, ones with baking soda in it seemed too harsh, for example.
Sometimes I would find a reasonably “pure” toothpaste, but it would still have glycerin in it, which was something I personally wanted to avoid. All to say it was hard to find one that met my standards and that we also LIKED.
Thankfully, the Redmond Trading Company, produced yet another product we love! As soon as we got our first tube, I was hooked. Earthpaste is definitely my favorite toothpaste! A while back they sent me some sample tubes of it, and ever since it has been my go-to toothpaste.
This toothpaste is based on a food grade clay formula that includes Redmond’s Clay and unrefined salt, purified water, xylitol, and essential oils. And that’s it!
At first, brushing my teeth with some thing brown was very weird. Yes, we are used to chemically treated toothpaste that is bright green or white…not a natural clay brown. But I very soon got used to that, and I enjoy how well this toothpaste works, how natural it is , and how gentle it is on my teeth. I’ve probably used it for a year now, and I still love it. It also continues to be very gentle on my teeth while still helping them stay squeaky clean. I am very happy about that.
The other great thing about this product is that it is food safe, meaning you don’t have to worry about your children swallowing it. It makes brushing your children’s teeth much less stressful!
The one ingredient that is a little more controversial in the real food world is xylitol. There are strong opinions on both sides, with some using it as their sweetener of choice, and others treating it with horror. Yes, it is more refined than any other sweetener I use, and yes, there are some very interesting studies demonstrating its cavity fighting properties. Currently, we don’t bake or cook with it, but do have xylitol mints and gum, and feel fine about it being in our toothpaste. So, I guess you could say I cautiously allow it, and I don’t consider it a strike against this toothpaste.
They currently have four flavors, Cinnamon, Wintergreen, Lemon Twist, Peppermint, and I like all of them. The Lemon twist is especially kid friendly! Would you like to try one? We are giving away 6 toothpastes (flavor of your choice) to my readers!
Where to buy: I am still waiting for my local stores to start carrying this newer toothpaste, but you can buy directly from Redmond’s website here.
I have been using my affiliate Vitacost a lot for buying supplements (I get my favorite iron supplement, Flora Floradix Floravital Iron (gluten-free version), from them for about ten dollars cheaper than buying it at a store!), and I just realized that you can get Earthpaste
there too for a great price! I will be adding some into my cart on my next order.
Note: This giveaway is open to those in USA only.

I’m a diehard cinnamon fan, but would love to try the Lemon Twist. Never would have thought of citrus for a toothpaste flavor…
Would love to try it!
Would love to try the cinnamon. Thanks!!

I have been looking for a toothpaste for my children to use. I have made the “homemade”
but they were not too agreeable to using it. Having toothpaste in tubes makes it so much
less mess than the homemade kind. Would love to have a tube to try!

I would love to try the cinnamon and the wintergreen flavors. I’ve been a subscriber to the nourishing gourmet and appreciate the tips and information. Thanks:)
OH talk about perfect timing! I have been looking for a new toothpaste as I can no longer use any of the homemade versions and did not want to go back to the commercial toothpastes again (which I have done in the interim much to my chagrin!!) I think the peppermint and cinnamon sound wonderful!
I would love to try the wintergreen flavor!
I would try the wintergreen

Sorry I was rushing and didn’t spell gourmet correctly on my last comment. I love Earthpaste! We have tried the Peppermint and Cinnamon flavors so far. I would like to try the other flavors also. At first it was a little strange brushing with clay, but I agree, we got used to it quickly and it really does a great job of cleaning our teeth. Thank you for this opportunity!
I’ll be out of toothpaste soon and realized that the one I’ve been using is not as safe as I thought. :/ The lemon twist and wintergreen one sound awesome. 🙂
Lemon Twist!
Wow, this looks like an amazing toothpaste option! I would love to try the wintergreen flavor. 😉
I would like to try the peppermint. Thanks for the giveaway. 🙂
lemon sounds interesting!
I’m a subscriber too!
I would like to try the Peppermint.
I use this toothpaste and have had all the flavors except the lemon and I like them all, but if I had to pick it would be the cinnamon. Thanx for the chance to win some.

I’m going to say Wintergreen, as I think the Peppermint and Cinnamon would be too strong for me and I don’t see me liking the Lemon.
I am also a subscriber! 🙂
Peppermint is a favorite around this house.

I love the wintergreen, but I bet my kids would love the lemon

I think I would love to try the lemon one….though I always like peppermint.
I like the sounds of Peppermint the best.
I would love to try the lemon twist flavor! Thank you!
I just started using Earthpaste! I love it and would be thrilled to win a tube! I currently use cinnamon but am curious about the other flavors.
I am a subscriber! And I tweeted, though not sure I did it correctly since I tagged you…
Lemon Twist sounds festive.
I’ve never tried clay-based toothpaste, but it sounds great! Thanks for the chance to win some!
Either flavor sounds great! I usually use peppermint when I buy toothpaste, but I am up for trying something new. 🙂
Wintergreen.
I am a subscriber, too!
And I’m a subscriber. 😉
I had a bad reaction to the cinnamon (burned all the skin around my mouth) and when I sent them an e-mail they sent me a free tube of a different flavor! What a great company!
I found this toothpaste about a year ago and it completely changed my dental habits. I really love this stuff, and , although I have had to make do with similar products, I still love the Earthpaste the best. Good stuff!
