Parabens in Toothpaste
It has been a super long time since updating this blog but I really really want to let my (few) readers know that our home is almost chemical free now. When the handsoap and dishsoap run out, that's it... I'm making some.
BUT when cleaning through the bathroom last week I happened to pick up the kids' toothpaste. We had run out of our flouride free so for some reason I decided (well after it had been bought and half-used) to look at the ingredients. HORROR!!! Parabens in kid's toothpaste? Why? Not in the adult generic toothpaste. It must be to maintain that lovely orangey color and taste.
So FYI, check your toothpaste for SLEs, SLSs, and Parabens!

I'm looking for a flouride and sls free toothpaste for my 20 month old here in bkk. Any suggestions?
Hi Erin,
My family use half baking soda and half coconut oil, which produces a salty toothpaste that we all use, including our youngest 3-yr-old. For several months now, we have been making our own soap, dish and laundry detergent, and floor cleaners. We buy vinegar, baking soda, and coconut oil which serve almost all our household purposes.
Sorry, FYI the comment was from me, Sun, Karl's wife.
