Waken Sensitive Care Natural Toothpaste
If you’re still using one of the ‘big brands’ of toothpaste, perhaps it’s time for a change! Waken Sensitive Care Toothpaste is one of the best on the market, for reasons explained below. You can buy online or in stores nationwide.
We’ve recommended the sensitive care toothpaste, as it’s the only one from this brand that’s free from sweetener xylitol (lethal to pets, if licked from around a mouth or sink – also found in gum and some baked goods).
The other toothpastes are fine for pet-free homes. But for safety, if animal friends are nearby, go for the one above. This toothpaste contains fluoride, so to avoid risk of swallowing, is only for children over 7.
Unlike most commercial toothpaste brands, Waken Sensitive Care Toothpaste is free from sodium lauryl sulphate (a foaming agent that’s too harsh – it’s even used as engine degreaser). So this toothpaste won’t foam as much, but it works just as well, if not better.
It’s also free from titanium dioxide, a colourant that’s used to make toothpastes white. This toothpaste is more natural in colour, as they haven’t added an ingredient that damages ecosystems with large-scale mining (France has banned it as a food additive, so why is it in toothpaste?)
And finally, the toothpaste is not just vegan, but also sold in partly recycled plastic tubes in cardboard boxes. Both are easily recycled with household waste.
The gentle formula is suitable for sensitive teeth, flavoured with spearmint, and also contains chamomile and calendula extracts.
Make Your Toothpaste Last Longer!
The toothpaste squeezer key is made from stainless steel, just twist and use from the beginning of using your toothpaste tube, to get every last drop.
The Waken Sonic Toothbrush
If you buy the company’s sonic toothbrush (with replaceable heads), you can send back your old one for recycling. Choose from graphite grey, dusty rose or mint blue.
Change the brush heads on a dry brush (this brush is for adults, as children would find the pulsating too powerful).
This brush removes over a third more plaque than a manual toothbrush, and gives up to 60 uses per charge. Choose from three brushing modes (sensitive, daily and deep clean).
The 2-minute timer even pulses every 30 seconds, to remind you to brush all four corners of your mouth equally!
The soft bristles are made with castor oil (gentle on your gums but tough on plaque) and the handle is made from recycled plastic (all made with clean energy).
