EarthyGals Natural Toothpaste {review}

Good afternoon and HAPPY PRE-FRIDAY! 

Today I have a review for you guys from Earthy Gals, a Mom/Daughter organic shop on Etsy!

Are you sick of the synthetic fluoride-ridden toothpastes at the store? Those little tubes that have such long ingredient lists it takes up most of the packaging? Time to go natural and try an alternative that your teeth (and oral health) will love!

  I was sent a container of Organic Activated Charcoal Toothpaste  to test and share with y'all. It definitely doesn't look like your typical bleach-white toothpaste from Colgate or Crest, but I'm totally okay with that for a number of reasons! As you can see from the above photo, the ingredients list is incredibly simple. Which is good, good, good! In my book, the simpler, the better. Just because a product has a ton of things listed in it doesn't make it quality! 

I have actually made my own toothpaste before, using bentonite clay and some other natural ingredients. I hadn't used charcoal before in my toothpastes so I was curious to try this.

Charcoal has a great cleansing effect and also promotes a white, bright smile. 

I was also happy to see coconut oil included in this toothpaste because of its amazing ability to draw toxins out of the mouth, teeth, and entire body. For example, if you have ever heard of "oil pulling", (read about it more on my post here) Normally coconut oil in toothpaste is not something most people would think about, but I think it's ingenious given all the health benefits. And it doesn't feel greasy or too oily when I use it. 

The addition of baking soda provides more cleansing factors, and the clove and peppermint oils provide a pleasant smell and slightly minty flavor. 

Not gonna lie, if you're not used to natural toothpaste involving charcoal or bentonite clay, you probably will have to get used to the taste and texture of it. It's definitely different! I was already used to it so I didn't mind at all, and honestly it tasted a lot better than my homemade concoction so I'm happy! 

A little bit goes a long, long way! And it's pretty easy to use, too. Since coconut oil can change in texture due to temperatures rising and falling, some days it's a little more liquid than other days. 

Overall, you get a great product here that leaves your mouth, teeth and gums feeling squeaky clean! After I have used this toothpaste for a few weeks, I can see my teeth getting whiter!

You get a lot in just one little jar so it is definitely a good deal, price-wise!
