From Chouette, Organic Toothpaste for Kids and Family, in clémentine & pamplemousse: "Chouette toothpaste is a fresh and organic jelly suitable for brushing children's teeth (+3 years old). Its low-abrasive formula based on vegetal sugars (xylitol and sorbitol) acts effectively against cavities and dental plaque. Rich in natural extracts of clementine and grapefruit, Chouette toothpaste gives both clean teeth and a healthy and refreshed mouth." 300 ml for $28 at Beautyhabit.

I am fond of my Marvis Black Forest toothpaste, but it does have fluoride so I don't use it often (I get enough fluoride already). Plus, it's spendy. Here's a budget, fluoride-free alternative: Dr. Sheffield’s Certified Natural Toothpaste in Chocolate. It says "For Kids" right on the label, but I am not so easily deterred. Reviews on Amazon (where you can find two 119g tubes for $12) range from "like chocolate cake batter...amazing" and "like brushing your teeth with chocolate mousse" right straight through to "gross". I am planning to investigate once I finish off a few others.

From Hello, Good Morning Meyer Lemon + Ginseng Fluoride Free Toothpaste: "hello, sunshine. kick your morning off right with this super-delish toothpaste that’ll remove plaque, whiten your smile and brighten your day. this perfect blend rocks farm-grown mint and meyer lemon, and is thoughtfully formulated with coconut oil, ginseng, and guarana to jumpstart your taste buds. better yet, this paste is free from peroxides, gluten, SLS/sulfates, artificial sweeteners/flavors, dyes, microbeads, parabens, and triclosan. hello is vegan, cruelty free, and never tested on animals (leaping bunny certified and peta recognized). now that’s a wake-up call to love. #brushhappy" $5 for 85g at Target. (Hello also makes a Good Night toothpaste with lavender and chamomile.)

Aha, it's been awhile but here is a new toothpaste lemming. From Boka, Coco Ginger: "Coco Ginger has a subtle coconut flavor paired with spicy ginger with notes of chamomile flower. Like Ela Mint paste, this is an extension of the first natural paste powered by modern science. It trades fluoride for nano-hydroxyapatite (n-Ha), an evolution in dentistry that’s been a gold standard in Japan for over 40 years. n-Ha makes up the primary foundation of teeth and bones, meaning it’s naturally restorative and helpful in reducing sensitivity. Plus, it’s 100% biocompatible and non-toxic. The flavor is unlike any toothpaste ever created." $12 at Beautyhabit.

Cocofloss has expanded their offerings since I last checked in (and I think raised their prices, too). Here's the Neapolitan Trio, with 32 yards each of Dark Chocolate, Vanilla Bean and Pure Strawberries dental floss, $29 at Beautyhabit, where you'll also find the Cocofloss limited edition flavor, Passionfruit, for $10.
