i have finally found a "safe" toothpaste. it's the pureen maternity toothpaste. it's free from sodium lauryl sulfate (sls), fluoride and saccharin. i was on a quest for some time for a safe toothpaste with no luck until this was launched in kl recently. the list of ingredients definitely do not contain any harmful chemicals (well, according to my list of no-nos).

i was kind of worried that it would taste funny or my teeth would not feel clean after using it. but surprise, surprise: it tastes like darlie but without so much foam AND my teeth do feel clean!

i do not know why they market this as a maternity toothpaste though. it works as well as the common toothpastes without the harmful chemicals. in fact, b is also using it.

only gripe i have about it is that it's still not widely available yet. i can only find them in guardian for the moment.
