Thanks for sharing! Katie does recommend xylitol for oral health and doesn’t have concerns with it. You can read more about it here at Wellnesse (which offers toothpaste she helped develop). https://wellnesse.com/blogs/all/xylitol-oral-microbiome

Hello. I just saw a video that a Dr did on toothpastes and xylitol is one of the things he said to not use. He said all the things you have listed plus a couple of others and xylitol was one of them. I thought I would just share in case you hadn’t heard that before.Have a great day

Xylitol does have some proven health benefits for enamel and mouth health. Here are Katie’s thoughts on xylitol. https://wellnessmama.com/health/xylitol-healthy/

I don’t understand why you promote xylitol? Isn’t it as bad as the other sugar alcohols you listed as “bad”?

In reply to Jamie Larrison. Thank you, I would love this for me. I am looking for something for my daughter that's not minty.

Hi!

Have you heard of Dr. Brite? What are your thoughts? Also any suggestions on mouthwash for kids?

I noticed that pretty much all of the listed natural toothpastes have Glycerin in them. I have also read the articles stating that glycerin coats the teeth and blocks remineralisation. In addition, I try to avoid mint in my toothpaste. I used to have a Propolis and Myrrh toothpaste from Trader Joe’s that tasted amazing and worked well, but they stopped carrying it. The Tom’s propolis & myrrh is not the same. Ingredient lists are different.
Currently I’m trying to minimise non-recyclable containers and have picked up a tooth powder to try. So far it is working really well and tastes great. It’s Redmond Earth Powder in “Splashin’ Citrus” flavour. Ingredients are so simple and beat me having to make my own or settle for something that has ingredients I’m avoiding.
Ingredients they use: bentonite clay, xylitol, sea salt, and essential oils.
Katie, if your Wellnesse toothpaste had a clove oil or citrus option, I’d love to try it.

Check out the Urtekram brand from the EU. That’s the one I get in Finland
