A note about Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate:
- Information on ingredients change all the time and for this reason we sometimes have ingredients permitted in products that are starting to attract negative attention – this does not mean however, that they are a problem, just that there are data gaps. Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate is one of those ingredients. This is what we know about it – to use it or not to use is your call. Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate is approved by Ecocert, and is also approved in the new COSMOS organic standard. The ingredient is sulphate free, it is not processed with ethylene oxide or 1,4dioxane, and has a good sensitivity rating. The Cosmetics Database finds Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate to be a moderate hazard ingredient, primarily because of its potential to be contaminated with nitrosamine (a known carcinogen) and because of its classification as a penetration enhancer. Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate should not be used in cosmetics and personal care products in which N-nitroso compounds may be formed (CosmeticsInfo.org). Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate is not expected to be potentially toxic or harmful, and has a low oral toxicity. It is not found to be mutagenic, irritating orsensitizing, although as stated above, it may enhance the penetration of other ingredients through the skin which is a good or a bad thing depending on what other ingredients it is mixed with. It has an EWG rating – the rating is 3/10, primarily due to data gaps.

07/07/2024, By LaurenWe love this toothpaste - even the child who hates to brush her teeth uses it happily. Nice gentle mint taste, and no nasties added.08/05/2024, By MMThis is my go to toothpaste since I started on my path to be flouride free.
Foams well and very refreshing19/04/2024, By RSVery happy to have found a xylitol toothpaste and the fact that it's by a local brand is a bonus! Have been using the 0-3 year one on my toddler and delighted that the range includes an adult one!19/04/2024, By RSVery happy to have found a xylitol toothpaste and the fact that it's by a local brand is a bonus! Have been using the 0-3 year one on my toddler and delighted that the range includes an adult one!24/03/2024, By WvB_1A good, everyday toothpaste for the whole family. The taste is mild minty, thus not overpowering for children, and the consistency is good - not too runny and not too stiff.05/02/2024, By TammyOur family love this toothpaste. It was one of the first steps we took to reduce fluoride in our household and have never looked back.24/10/2023, By ElsabeBeen my favourite from the start when I switched to fluoride free toothpaste. Minty and always feels super clean22/09/2023, By LizWe just love this product, we have bought several tubes, so refreshing and our mouths feel so clean after using it22/05/2023, By ChristelleMy favourite fluoride toothpaste. Doesn't foam too much, which I prefer.16/05/2023, By CharlotteA staple in our house. My kids of 7 and 9years love this toothpaste too. It's not too strong and doesn't burn, yet it cleans well and still leaves you with a fresh minty breath.16/10/2022, By SBLThis is the first fluoride free toothpaste that actually tastes good. I love this toothpaste.01/07/2022, By KhweziLoved the taste. The texture is slightly different from conventional toothpaste. I didn’t mind it at all. It also foams slightly less. Doesn’t bother me because my teeth feel clean and there’s still that post brushing mint tingle.03/04/2022, By TelsaThis toothpaste is the best! I am however, extremely disappointed that it is now being packaged in an cardboard box. Please do away with the packaging - it really isn't necessary and completely goes against the idea of being environmentally friendly.02/04/2022, By GuevaraUnfortunately I don't like the texture of this toothpaste. It doesn't seem to dissolve properly - most of it stays in the toothbrush.03/01/2022, By SusieI am impressed! It is so difficult finding a decent, basic toothpaste, without toxins, chemicals and other unfriendly 'stuff', but I have just found it. And it is made in SA, not in China, India, Poland or wherever else we feel the need to import from. It's great, cleans teeth really well, leaving a fresh taste in the mouth. Will buy again06/07/2021, By AutumnMy kids have now graduated from the children's vanilla mint to this one. They LOVE it! And I love that you get more toothpaste for the same amount of money!03/04/2021, By AneldaAmazing toothpaste!
It cleans well and love that it doesn't leave an after taste!
Definitely recommend this toothpaste!
07/02/2021, By RudolphI've been using Pure Beginnings Fresh Mint toothpaste for years now and cannot even imagine going back to the awful stuff I grew up with. The taste is very subtle yet minty fresh so very easy to get used to. If you want to try out alternative toothpastes, this is definitely the best product to start off with. Once you get used to Pure Beginnings toothpaste the "normal stuff" tastes like washing powder!04/02/2021, By PigletPleasant taste and consistency. Not to sweet or peppery. Foams but not excessively. Would be nice in a metal tube but that would push up the price. What about a large bottle with a pump top, so one can buy in bulk and use less plastic?03/02/2021, By ShereleWas a little skeptical of natural toothpaste but this one is amazing. The taste is fresh and clean, but not harsh. And it's safe to swallow and has no nasties.24/01/2021, By JennThis paste smells (and tastes) great but doesn't leave that yukky burny sensation in your mouth like commercial brands. My mouth was left feeling fresh and it lasts pretty much for the whole day, there was no 'fluffy tooth' effect going on by the end of the day. If you're in doubt as to which toothpaste to get on FTN, get this one, you won't be disappointed.13/01/2021, By RuthI like this toothpaste. It works well, isn't too pricey and has a fresh but gentle flavour.08/01/2021, By AdeleI love this toothpaste and think it is such good value for money. We recently got our first dog though so sadly I'm not using this toothpaste anymore due to the xylitol.18/12/2020, By SivuMy daughter loves this toothpaste bcoz it's not harsh and it doesn't burn her tongue. Her father likes it too, sometimes even uses it coz he enjoys the taste.07/12/2020, By KhunjulwaI prefer to use products that has no harm to the body and no cruelty to animals and nature too.27/11/2020, By JSubtle, minty, and I much prefer it to the commercial brands in the supermarkets.29/09/2020, By KGI've used this toothpaste for many months and I really like it. Doesn't have a strong flavour, even my 2-year-old doesn't mind it when he steals my toothbrush while I'm brushing.23/08/2020, By MarietjieNo complaints. Getting used to but fresh. Besides there isn't bad stuff that can absorb through the linings of your mouth. Bought some more.17/08/2020, By JBA bit pricey but lovely taste and you don't need to use a lot for each brush so it lasts.11/08/2020, By JennyTexture is awful - doesn't dissolve and most of it gets left in the toothbrush.07/08/2020, By MandyThis has been my toothpaste of choice for a number of years now.
First time I've bought it in the bulk option of 3 tubes which makes it even more affordable.23/07/2020, By ErynLovely alternative to mainstream toothpastes. Leaves your mouth feeling fresh and clean21/07/2020, By DianeI have tried a few and this one is it. Does what it is supposed to without the nasties. Doesnt have a funkey aftertaste either.
This is a good one if you are used to commercial toothpastes.17/07/2020, By ScullyI've tried 3 natural or organic toothpastes and so far this is by far my favourite. The texture is a tiny bit thick in comparison to standard toothpastes so that takes a bit of getting used to. I find that this Pure Beginnings Toothpaste Fresh Mint provides a fresher and mintier experience than some other natural toothpastes.15/07/2020, By ClaudineReally liked this product but noticed my teeth were stained and not sparkly white as they use to be..13/07/2020, By JudithI don't believe this toothpaste cleans as well as one would like and it doesn't freshen as well or as long. It is, however, well priced and is the only toothpaste I'm able to use as it doesn't negatively affect my sensitive teeth. Wish it could be mintier and clean better but appreciate that it doesn't cause me dental harm or discomfort10/06/2020, By AmieThe only natural toothpaste that makes not breathe smell normal and its one of the cheapest natural toothpastes31/05/2020, By ClaudineTastes good & cleans really nicely. Super happy with this buy.29/05/2020, By NatashaI love this product - cleans thoroughly, leaves a wonderful aftertaste16/05/2020, By LisaThis produce is great! Teeth feel super clean and I don't feel like I'm swallowing a whole load of toxins each time I brush my teeth.24/04/2020, By MichaelaI've tried out a variety of "natural-ish" toothpastes and this brand is by far the best. A) I dont have to change brands because of tolerence development and B) Closest to that minty burn you get from "mainstream" toothpaste. Only "issue" would be the Xylitol but you can't have it all. Hopeful of a better replacement one day!27/03/2020, By LouiseNice taste but I agree, it doesn't foam well. While it tastes nice, it's a bit sweet for me – I think it's the xylitol, which I don't really want in a toothpaste. I would recommend it, but I won't rebuy it personally I think due to the xylitol – bit early in the morning for something sweet!06/03/2020, By MandiI like the taste but it doesn't foam and sometimes doesn't dissolve properly in my mouth. I find sometimes I rinse and there's still whole pieces of the toothpaste in my mouth. But I will give it another go...01/03/2020, By CindyI love it, hubby is not crazy about it. Think its personal preference27/02/2020, By LieslThis toothpaste works well and tastes great! The first natural toothpaste I've bought that my husband also loves - we will be buying this one again!08/02/2020, By CatherineTeeth feel cleaner then when I use "normal" toothpaste. I hope this company starts moving towards plastic free packaging.02/02/2020, By TamsynTook some getting used to - used to foam! But im glad it still had mint in it. A lot of the natural toothpastes dont leave you feeling like your teeth are clean, but this one worked fine.10/01/2020, By DebraAbsolutely love this toothpaste. Taste is nice and makes teeth look and feel clean.18/12/2019, By LCThis toothpaste leaves my nou try deliciously minty fresh...would have given it a 5, if not for the plastic packaging.02/12/2019, By ChezVery happy with this purchase. Perfect switch over from nasty supermarket toothpastes. You need the smallest amount, it foams just enough and tastes great.01/12/2019, By SamiI'm quite enjoying using this. The minty-ness and consistency takes a smidge of getting used to but it genuinely leaves your teeth feeling good and clean and fresh tra-la-la :)19/11/2019, By JudithImproved the feel of my teeth by lessening sensitivity. It is a bit thick, which takes getting used to. Would prefer if it was a bit more minty.11/11/2019, By YolandeIt does what it needs to do! The taste is a very natural mint. Not awfully sweet but not that unpleasant either.16/10/2019, By SarahI am still using this toothpaste. I love it. It makes your mouth breathe smell lovely and cleans teeth well10/10/2019, By S. JIt's not as minty as commercial toothpaste, but my whole family is using it10/09/2019, By DeeThis toothpaste is wonderful! First natural toothpaste that I have actually enjoyed all round. Has a nice taste and cleans well.03/09/2019, By NombusoAs a first time Natural toothpaste user, this came highly recommended. And I see why. The texture is similar to the conventional gel toothpaste I was using which made the switch easy. I love the taste. It’s just enough mint. Maybe because the ingredients are organic and there’s nothing to hide? It cleans really well. My experience is 24 hours freshness and clean teeth.29/08/2019, By CManserI really love this toothpaste. I was a bit skeptical after using Sensodyne for many years, but this surpassed ALL of my expectations. Wonderful taste, has a nice foamy consistency and my mouth feels clean and fresh afterwards.21/08/2019, By TracyI have been using this brand of toothpaste for years, it is such great quality. Strong enough to provide a well cleaned mouth and mild enough to protect my sensitive gums. Will be using this for years to come..21/08/2019, By s.jHappy that it's natural, wish it had a stronger mint taste29/07/2019, By ArlineThe only toothpaste I want to use - good taste and quality for the price
Always repurchase16/07/2019, By ClaudineCleans my teeth, leaves a lovely fresh taste in my mouth. Definitely recommend this product!10/07/2019, By paulderdashFresh, minty, effective with trusted ingredients. Bought again.02/07/2019, By Chantelle MullerHave been using this for years.. the best toothpaste on the market .. awesome taste and safe to swallow25/06/2019, By ChristineI like this product, took a bit of getting used to, but I would like something with a bit more oomph as far as minty freshness goes. Also don't bother with the flip lid, rather take the cap off completely and squeeze otherwise it's quite a workout. If I don't find a toothpaste I prefer I will come back to this one.20/06/2019, By RebreezeyIt feels righteous but not at the expense of freshness. Takes getting used to of course, especially after using regular toothpaste, but it does the trick.06/06/2019, By SaffyreCleans well & tastes great. I started using this as an alternative to an American Xylitol toothpaste brand that became too expensive for me. It cleans well and leaves my mouth feeling minty fresh in the same way a commercial toothpaste would but without all the nasties.29/05/2019, By Marce'This toothpaste is out of this world.
Smooth and tasty. It makes my teeth feel good. Where other toothpaste would irritate my mouth. This one does a fantastic job of making me smile more :) Even though it costs a bit more than regular toothpaste it lasts longer.22/05/2019, By MiaIt would be okay if you don't mind a mild toothpaste, but I find that it's not really strong enough for my own taste. It might be really good for kids though!20/05/2019, By GailI love this toothpaste. It is not overwhelming, but has a gentle minty flavour that leaves your mouth feeling fresh. I am happy that it is a natural product with no nasties.16/05/2019, By SarahLovely minty taste with a fresh feel in your mouth after using it.15/04/2019, By MaureenBeen using this vegan toothpaste for a long time now - did not realise that I had not written a review!
Very happy with it, happy with the taste, feels like 'regular' toothpaste... what else would I want?01/04/2019, By EmThis is the only toothpaste I'm using now, I like the fresh taste and it foams enough to my liking. Would strongly recommend trying this one!27/03/2019, By GinetteMy child doesn't seem to mind it but I'm battling to make the switch over from traditional toothpaste27/03/2019, By DeniseGreat toothpaste. I ran out a while ago and had to use something else and I could feel the difference. It helps with sensitivity as well which is wonderful. Love it!23/03/2019, By MonicaI've sampled a lot of them and this is my favourite. Good taste, texture, price and effectiveness. Would love to see it in a returnable jar or more easily cleanable container to recycle.15/03/2019, By LisaThis was my first time using a natural toothpaste and it definitely took some getting used to. I didn't particularly like the texture of this one, and even though I'm sure it did clean, because it didn't foam or spread I never really had that clean, fresh feeling. I've just ordered a different one and am interested to see the difference.02/03/2019, By ClairI have tried a few organic toothpastes from FTN. I'm not very impressed with this one; I don't think it cleans very well18/02/2019, By CatTeeReally nice, mild taste. Perfect for those transitioning from conventional toothpaste who are not ready for the salty tastes of other natural toothpastes.03/02/2019, By AnneReally nice to use, doesn't taste funny and leaves us with a fresh breath.30/01/2019, By CaitlinReally nice taste. Consistency is nice too. It also foams a bit which I like. Perfect for if you want a natural tooth paste but dont like the feel or taste of the home made ones. Wish the packaging was glass.29/01/2019, By DebbieThis toothpaste is awesome!
It smells nice, tastes nice and even has a mild foam. I love the chunky tube.08/01/2019, By PennyIt's the first natural toothpaste I've used and we really didn't like it. It does not give you a fresh breath. Feels like you haven't brushed.21/12/2018, By DaniI've tried a few natural toothpaste options (including homemade) and this one is the best option I've found so far. Interestingly it works much better with a normal toothbrush than an electric toothbrush.25/11/2018, By andreaI've tried a few natural toothpastes and this is the best I've found. Good for the price too16/11/2018, By ZaidWorks better than alternatives. I have tried a natural Aloe toothpaste before this which I wasnt too impressed with. This toothpaste has a thicker consistency, and makes your mouth feel as if you were using something that you are already used to. Recommend using a natural mouth wash during the day as I am not sure how long this toothpaste will keep your teeth protected15/11/2018, By Barbara de VriesGreat product. We just love Pure Beginnings products. They are awesome.11/11/2018, By LizeTook a few days to get used to the different texture (compared to my traditional toothpaste) but will always buy this from now on! Gentle taste and cleans well30/10/2018, By AllyThis doesn't have such a smooth texture, but it smells really nice and fresh. I love this toothpaste.16/10/2018, By RobynMy first purchase of natural organic toothpaste and i love it. It cleans my teeth and has a nice minty flavour.15/10/2018, By KimberleyBest natural toothpaste on the market, so fresh and minty. Really good value for money.04/10/2018, By ArlineBest price, best of its kind- really happy using this- its a pitty about the plastic though03/10/2018, By emReally nice minty taste and foams enough. This is the best toothpaste I've tried! ...and it lasts longer than store bought toothpaste.01/10/2018, By DaphneI've tried various other brands of natural toothpaste.My search is finally over. This one does the job well. I'm so grateful that I found this toothpaste.17/09/2018, By KerryGreat fresh taste, super clean feeling, I am impressed with this product. Having bought a number of various brands and even made my own, this is definitely top of my list for healthy toothpaste alternatives.11/09/2018, By KaylaGreat quality, better mouthfeel than other bamboo toothbrush brands that I have tried.02/08/2018, By DanielleIt tastes really nice and has a cool texture but it doesn't leave my mouth feeling very clean. The minty taste is very mild as well.29/07/2018, By BronwynMinty fresh taste after use
Gel-like texture that doesn't dissolve too well when brushing25/07/2018, By Zachariyathis toothpaste cleanse your teeth nicely and leaves a mint taste in your mouth25/07/2018, By ZachariyaThis toothpaste is lovely!
it cleanse your teeth nicely and it leaves a mint flavour in your mouth17/07/2018, By AI struggle with toothpaste and could only find two I was ok with, so tried a few natural ones and just when I thought I was giving up, I came across this one And yes I'm vey happy30/06/2018, By RonI'm torn between this toothpaste and Olgani - they're both so good!16/06/2018, By DThis toothpaste tastes good! Overall I am impressed with this online store, it has been a great guide to becoming healthier and more green!11/06/2018, By TianaFinally! An organic toothpaste that doesn't make me feel like I'm eating a tub of baking powder. I love the taste.21/05/2018, By ShellI just love this toothpaste! On my 5th tube and now ordering in 3's. Could be slightly softer to make squeezing a bit easier.17/05/2018, By ChariseOh my word! In love with the way this toothpaste makes your teeth feel.10/05/2018, By MarietaI have been ordering this toothpaste a couple of times now and find it to be one of the 'better' quality natural toothpaste's on the market. Texture and taste is good.15/04/2018, By MichaelaFirst "organic" or biodegradable toothpaste I've used and I'm pleasantly surprised. The minty flavour isn't overpowering but my mouth is still left feeling refreshed.03/04/2018, By TersiaLove the taste and ingredients. It does work better squirting into mouth first then brushing instead of directly onto toothbrush (gets clogged between bristles). I have sensitive teeth though and noticed that my gums and teeth are sensitive, but I am also pregnant so could be that. Will test for a couple of days with old toothpaste to see if it is me or the toothpaste.28/03/2018, By VanessaI like this. It's nice to know that it's safe to swallow.26/03/2018, By MeganLeft my teeth feeling clean and my breath minty. Definitely a thumbs up.14/03/2018, By ClaireI was a little afraid it would taste like baking soda like all the homemade recipes I have tried, which hubby hates and refuses to use... but it tastes great and leaves my teeth and mouth feeling clean and fresh. Hubby loves it too! You also don’t seem to need as much as store bought name brands so it isn’t actually as pricey as it may seem at first.06/03/2018, By AmberIts a nice starter toothpaste, very mild if you aren't wanting anything too herbal, but to be honest there are superior toothpastes on this site. It tastes like marshmallow. It does however seem to make my bamboo toothbrush go mouldy.21/02/2018, By AmberTo be honest I have tried no other natural toothpastes but use this range for my 3 year old so thought I would give it a try for me and I love it! Its brilliant!13/02/2018, By BiancaLove love love this! Have tried a number of different toothpastes, including making my own, but this one takes the cake. Am so happy with this purchase, no more searching necessary.20/01/2018, By MeganI have bad gagging reflex from normal toothpaste, this Pure beginnings toothpaste has definitely the opposite effect NO MORE GAGGING when brushing!!! So many people have complimented me that my teeth have whitened, and so I have bought for friends who have asked what toothpaste I have been using. A little goes a long way.04/01/2018, By BronLove that the entire toothbrush is biodegradeble and bristles have softened after a few weeks of use (bought the medium strength)
Cons: handle is a bit short, bristle design could be improved16/12/2017, By NicoleBest natural toothpaste we have used. Doesnt leave your breath fresh like store bough toothpastes, takes some time to get used to.
The only toothpaste we use.24/11/2017, By MareliThe best 'natural' toothpaste that I've used so far (in my price range, that is)!
