A Quick Note from Tamara Rubin:

This is one of FIVE safer choices for toothpaste that we have now discovered through the community-collaborative/ community-funded laboratory testing initiative Lead Safe Mama, LLC is coordinating. Here’s our link for this product (that tested non-detect for Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, and Arsenic with the limits of detection noted below): https://amzn.to/4hpUH7V  — NOTE: The test results shown below only indicate the toxicant profile for the specific product shown. We only sent the strawberry flavor of this product to the lab for testing. Given the primary ingredient difference for the other similar products is the flavor, it is likely that other flavors of this same product tests similarly (have similar toxicant profiles) but we have not yet tested any other flavors.

The full lab report for this product is at the bottom of this article.

As far as safer choices for foods, supplements, and cosmetics go (including toothpaste), we have a few lists on our food and supplement testing landing page (linked here) that you may find helpful in making safer choices for your family. We even have one dedicated to safer snack choices here. You may also find this link helpful as it takes you to our most recently updated safer choices list of 50 lab-tested safer foods, cosmetics, and supplements!

Here’s the link to our landing page with ALL of the lab reports for the independent, third-party laboratory testing Lead Safe Mama, LLC has coordinated since March of 2024 — this is also a good page to bookmark and check back on periodically (it is always pinned at the top of the website’s Menu via the button graphic below, and the Menu can be found at the top of every page on this site).

Please check out our open/ not-yet-funded campaigns on GoFundMe if you would like to support some of our additional independent, crowd-funded, third-party laboratory testing. Thank you!
