Tom's of Maine Toothpaste and Beauty Bar

Tom's of Maine was one of the product sponsors for the goodie bag I got at the Green and Gorgeous beauty event sponsored by Pretty City and SHAPE Magazine. I got the Daily Moisture natural beauty bar and the Long-lasting Wicked Fresh! toothpaste. I can't stop raving about the goodies that I got there because literally every single thing that got, I am excited to try- because it's all natural and eco-friendly.

I haven't tried Tom's of Maine products before but I have seen them at drugstore and Whole Foods. I was currently using the Colgate toothpaste that I got at the last Shecky's event but I decided to try this one to see how a natural toothpaste worked. The Tom's of Maine Wicked Fresh! formula contains minimal products and natural flavor oils to combat bad breath. It also has an active ingredient to fight cavities. Although one of the ingredients says "natural flavors," I can't help but to think what that exactly means.. but at least it's not artificial!

The Daily Moisture beauty bar is also something that I am really liking. I've used similar bars before that contain olive oil, but this one is very moisturizing. My skin feels smooth after using since this contains moisturizing ingredients such as olive oil and natural vitamin E. Even though the weather is currently very humid and gross, I know that my skin still needs moisture. This soap is great to use for the face or body.

Burt's Bees Natural Toothpaste

Looking for a new, natural toothpaste? Look no further because Burt's Bees recently came out with natural toothpastes in 3 formulas- Multicare, Whitening and Kids.

The Multicare and Whitening formulas come with either fluoride or fluoride-free. I'm particularly excited about the Kids formula myself because it comes in an Orange-Wow with Fluoride and Berry Bee without Fluoride. These natural and tasty flavors will make kids excited to brush their teeth! Yay! I will personally choose the fluoride ones because it will protect my teeth against cavities.

Secret Ingredient? Cranberry Extract- This is the key ingredient used in the formulas because cranberries have a nutrient called Proanthocyanidins or PACs. Studies have shown PACs does not let "oral bacterial stick to the surface of teeth, thereby helping prevent plaque formation before it starts." Genius!

Have you tried this yet? Look for them at your nearest retailer including Safeway, Wholefoods, and more! For a complete list, check here.
