Review on Burt's Bees Fluoride Peppermint Toothpaste: Natural Dental Care at its Best! by Ben Liu

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Cocamidopropyl Betaine

From a company that advertises 'natural' I can't believe this toothpaste contains something known to be carcinogenic - can cause cancer - and the way it does it listing is pretty clever: They put an asterisk * next to two ingredients - monosodium cocoylglutamate * (it's not harmful - it's plant-based) and cocamidopropyl betaine * (it's a bad product), and the asterisk * declares "*contains one of these ingredients." ONE of these ingredients? OK, which one? Is that a safe tube of toothpaste or a dangerous one? Even if I took the risk of using it myself, I would never allow my children to use it. I think it's a very good idea to test all the ingredients in Burt's Bees - as long as they do it with toothpaste. it's probably in other products too. I think they realized that this little bee can fly undetected. Very disappointing.

Pros
  • Quality Construction
Cons
  • Requires an outlet
