Toothpaste – Natural & Safe
Any chemicals in toothpaste can be absorbed easily inside the mouth (mucosa). We should use the safe toothpaste at all cost.
Most of the Toothpaste which claim “safe and natural” contain harmful chemicals rated higher than 2 in EWG health risk scale: 1 as totally safe and 10 as the most dangerous. When I write “safe“, it means that the ingredient’s EWG risk scale is 1, the safest level.
