Redmond Earthpaste - Natural Non-Flouride Toothpaste, LemonTwist, 4 Ounce Tube (1 Pack)

I went in search of a clay based toothpaste for remineralization purposes after a trip to the dentist revealed I had a bunch of small cavities and doing some research on the Internet to possibly avoid further damage/avoid some fillings. So I purchased this with come coconut oil for oil pulling after brushing (I plan on using it like a mouthwash). I was expecting this toothpaste to be super gross and gritty and I was pleasantly surprised! It does smell gently of lemon, though taste wise I didn't really notice lemon, or any other flavor really. I am pretty sensitive to taste and texture (certain foods will make me gag even if it tastes really good with the wrong texture) and I didn't have any problems at all! I love the way it smells and my teeth feel really clean. My teeth are nice and smooth and not slippery like with your traditional fluoride toothpaste. I equate it to the clean feeling like after you've been to the dentist. I also use a Braun electric toothbrush so that may help contribute to that. I especially love that there is NO gross aftertaste like I get with any kind of standard toothpaste (I also particularly hate just about every variation of mint so I had to settle with pronamel gentle whitening) or gross taste altering so yes you can have your orange juice after brushing. It does seem to "dissolve" after you start brushing but I don't feel that it doesn't mean it's not cleaning my teeth effectively. I do notice a very fine grit in the toothpaste if I grind my teeth together but it's not enough to bother me. I did pause a little at the lead warning but I did look it up and here is what their webpage says: Prop 65 lists of over 900 substances, including lead, that businesses are required to warn consumers about. Lead is a natural element in soil, so it can be found in trace amounts in anything that is grown or drawn from the earth — including fruits, vegetables, and, of course, Earthpaste. Since our bodies can’t absorb naturally occurring lead in many natural products, like Bentonite clay, proposition 65 allows exemptions for natural products like mixed nuts and brussels sprouts that would otherwise have to claim lead levels many times more than the limit imposed by the legislation. We believe Earthpaste falls under the exempted products definition, but we’re pretty cautious around here, and not terribly interested in defending civil action by prop 65 watchdogs hoping for a settlement or share of daily fines. So we updated our packaging to avoid the kind of mess that would be hard for a company our size to weather. And if that doesn't convince you, know that it's not by some process that the lead ends up in the toothpaste, it is naturally occurring in bentonite clay! As for the reviewer that said to do your research (citing an article where the writer also says you won't find lead in fruit because the fruit doesn't touch the soil) doesn't know that lead in water is incredibly dangerous because it is unbound lead! It binds to your body where it causes problems by lingering and building up. Yes the clay is found deep down in the earth so it will contain trace amounts of other minerals including lead. Here is a little of the science behind why bentonite binds lead as well as other toxins: While bentonite clay does contain small amounts of lead, it’s thankfully not bioavailable to the body… meaning that the lead doesn’t leach out of the clay and into the body. It’s already bound by the clay and held there. Bentonite clay has a negative electrical charge and is searching for things that have a positive charge… like lead. So even though it contains trace amounts of lead, it’s holding on tight to the lead, not letting it go in your or your child’s body. I hate to see people jumping to criticize companies that are trying to be responsible without knowing the background behind the warnings. I am an engineer for a company that manufactures the instruments that labs use to see how much of any element is in a sample. This includes wastewater testing for mine sites as well as companies that manufacture electronics and test lead paint against state standards. The standards by which the test the water is more lenient than anything earthpaste has to contend with so trust that it's an insignificant amount you could potentially be ingesting (that you will pass anyways). Lead is everywhere, and getting it from this toothpaste is one product you don't have to worry about. [...] [...]

This toothpaste is a game-changer for our whole family! I was drawn to Redmond Earthpaste for its clean, minimal ingredient list — and now I’m hooked. At $9.59 (or $8.63 with a subscription), it’s absolutely worth every penny. Why We Love It: First off, it’s hard enough to get kids excited about brushing — but mine actually ask for the Lemon Twist flavor! That alone is a huge win. It’s a gentle, pleasant taste that isn’t too “spicy” or artificial like many others. And the fact that it’s fluoride-free, glycerin-free, and free from SLS, dyes, and synthetic additives makes me feel great about what’s going into their mouths every day. Ingredients That Matter: • Bentonite Clay – detoxifies and polishes teeth naturally • Real Sea Salt – supports a clean mouth and healthy gums • Essential Oils – gives it that fresh, natural flavor • Silver – known for its natural antibacterial properties No weird fillers. No harsh chemicals. Just real, simple ingredients you can trust. Family Benefits: Everyone in our household uses it now. My teeth feel cleaner, my gums healthier, and my kids are brushing without a fight. It’s safe, natural, and effective — plus the tube lasts longer than I expected. No foaming agents means you actually see what’s happening in your mouth, which makes you brush more thoroughly. Final Thoughts: We’ve officially made the switch and subscribed to keep it coming at the lower price. If you’re looking for a truly natural toothpaste that the whole family can enjoy — especially picky little ones — Redmond Earthpaste is the way to go. Lemon Twist is a hit!

This toothpaste really makes your mouth feel clean and fresh. It has a very different texture and a nice lemon flavor. I love that it has clean ingredients including essential oils and I’m excited to see what the silver will do. Great price too!

Due to the toxicity of flouride and other ingredients in most mainstream toothpastes, I decided to search for something as natural as possible, and I think this product fits the bill. First of all, it definitely FEELS natural. There's no foaming (and they explain that the paste does not contain foaming ingredients) and there's no bright white, blue, green, etc. coloring (it's the color of the earth tone on the tube). At first, this may put you off. After a lifetime of using commercial toothpastes, this might take some gettin' used to. Because of the lack of foaming agents, it feels like you need a whole lot of paste to get the same cleaning power. I doubt that's true, though--it's probably just in my head. The peace of mind I feel knowing that my family's not accidentally ingesting poison on a daily basis is well worth any difference or adjustment that we'll have to face. The taste is fine and it does its job cleaning. I don't think I'll ever purchase another tube of commercial, flouride toothpaste anymore. By the way, I feel just as clean after using this toothpaste as I feel after using Tom's of Maine toothpaste. And in fact, I prefer the taste of Earthpaste Lemon Twist over Tom's of Maine.

First off, let me get this out of the way: this toothpaste is effective. This is not some semi-effective snake oil product that gives mediocre results. This stuff will clean your teeth as well or better than regular Crest or Arm and Hammer. As someone who suffers with Crohn's disease, I must maintain an acute awareness of all things that enter my body. Obviously food and water is top of that list to be mindful of. However, let's be honest: you're eating a small portion of toothpaste every day if you brush daily. And it doesn't take much research to know that conventional toothpaste is an amalgam of poison, fake flavors, sweeteners, dyes, and other artificial bullcrap. Do yourself a favor and make the switch to something natural, like this product. Redmond makes killer products. We've been happy partakers of many of their grocery items, so when we decided to jump into natural toothpaste, we were happy when we found a Redmond product. It tastes fantastic, it gets you good and clean, and it's not literal poison. Is it more expensive than conventional? Yes. So is every food and hygiene product that is sincerely healthful for you. I'll let you be the judge of the monetary value of your own wellness. Two final cautionary points: 1) There are a handful of essential oils in the paste, so if you're a messy brusher like me, watch out for the dribbles on your shirt: they may be hard to get out. I've started just taking my shirt off before I brush, heh. 2) If you start using this, then at some point need to return to using conventional toothpaste, you will be grossed out by it.

I don't usually write reviews, but I have to for this one. Please, please, never stop making this in Lemon Twist. I absolutely adore this product!! I can't stand the flavor of mint, which is really unfortunate because it's in what seems like every dental kind of product. While searching desperately online, I came across this and ordered. I'm SO GLAD that I did. I'm sensitive to taste/texture and find this toothpaste to be very pleasant. All my life, I dreaded brushing my teeth because of the gross, minty foam that resulted and this helps me avoid that completely. It tastes very neutral but not gross, not "earthy," and has a nice, light lemon scent. It doesn't smell like lemon cleaner or anything like that, just natural lemon. It's very slightly gritty, doesn't foam up a lot, and doesn't even need to be all the way rinsed out. My teeth have gotten whiter and feel less sensitive after using it for about six months. I will never stop using this product for as long as it's available. It feels silly to be SOOO obsessed with this product but I truly hated brushing my teeth for my whole life and would very frequently get sick immediately after because I'm so sensitive and found it so gross. Thank you soooo much, Redmond!

The spearmint Earthpaste cleans my teeth very well and leaves my mouth minty for quite a while after rinsing. When I first put the brush in my mouth, there is a slight salty taste and then a bit of earthiness before the spearmint flavor takes over. I've seen other reviewers complain about both the saltiness and the earthiness, but they are mild and short-lived, so I don't mind. I'm still getting used to the lack of foaming, which feels a bit odd after years of using commercial toothpaste, but I don't miss the lack of sweetener, as I thought I might, because the spearmint flavor is so nice - like chewing on a fresh mint leaf. I also bought lemon and peppermint flavors, but we have not tried them yet. I did have some problems with the delivery due to the USPS canceling delivery due to the extreme cold for a couple of days and then insisting for another day that it was impossible to reach my front door, even though all the sidewalks and the driveway were completely shoveled and my 79-year old mother and other family members had been in and out several times with no problem at all - lazy carrier, I think, since we saw the package-delivery van pull up, stop for 30 seconds, then leave with no attempt to deliver the package. The choice of carrier was Amazon's, not Redmond's, and the weather was certainly beyond anyone's control, so I'm not removing any stars for that.

I have tried two other fluoride-free toothpastes over the course of more than a year and this is by far the best. However, I haven't seen anyone else's review properly address something, so let's get this clear. This toothpaste contains, naturally occurring lead. But wait, there's more! Before purchasing I came across one or two reviews by, clearly absolutely paranoid people, who put the two words, lead, and poisonous together, and simply decided to make everyone else paranoid, warning to keep your yourself and your loved ones far from this product - how ironic. Do yourself a bit of proper Googling, including reading about how the manufacturer of this toothpaste, and actual scientific facts (which you can Google completely separately) point to, the fact that you are already eating naturally occurring lead, found in your beef, honey, brussel sprouts, italian salad dressing, watermelons, raisins, cucumbers, granola cereal, red apples, strawberries, and much more. Now on to better things. Upon the first time using this, I noticed it did not have the foaming agents that literally every other toothpaste ever uses. It's a bit weird to get used to this somewhat goopy stuff after using foamy toothpastes my whole life, but I'm glad that whatever that stuff is, is not in this toothpaste because it is noticeable. From the other 2 fluoride-free toothpastes I have tried before this, one of them had that particular foaming agent, and this is how I can tell the difference - I'll never go back, it's completely unnecessary and harmful. This toothpaste is what you want. It's nice to not have your mouth bombarded with chemicals and that oh-so familiar, burning and long lasting minty after effect we're all so used to. Doesn't breakfast taste just awesome after brushing your teeth? And I hate to use the word fresh here because it will sound cliche, but the freshness and cleanliness this leaves my mouth with every morning and night is seriously something to be rivaled with. I have only purchased the lemon flavor, and it tastes great, no complaints and better than I expected being so used to overpowering flavours in conventional toothpastes (I use this along with my Dr Bronner's Castile Soap in Citrus, it's nice). I'm really interested in the other flavours available so I might edit this later once I get a chance to try another one.

Teeth feel very clean with this toothpaste. It's the best toothpaste I ever tried so far and I like that the ingredients aren't harsh on teeth, gums or general health. I'm getting the whole family to switch to this toothpaste.

simply the best toothpaste ive ever used. Smells awesome and cleans my teeth very well! No flouride or any toxic harmful chemicals which makes this product the best!

As advertised

Refreshing cleanser with clean ingredients. Best toothpaste. Awesome taste. Will buy again.
