so who wins between organique vs desert essence toothpaste?
howdy healthy peeps! in this organic world in which we all live where so many of us are trying to eliminate as many harmful things as is possible from our diets, organic toothpaste is the one thing that can be somewhat difficult to come by. now for about the last 2-3 years i’ve been using desert essence natural tea tree oil and neem toothpaste. however, occasionally i like to play the field a bit to see what else is out there.
so with that said, after about half an hour to 45 minutes of barricading myself in the toothpaste section of the organic market, reading labels, submitting briefs in support and against, deliberating and finally making a decision i’ve narrowed my choice down to two brands whose ingredients quell my concerns and get me to consider perhaps coming in for a night cap. Those two brands were organique and desert essence (old faithful).
let’s start with price. organique was less expensive than desert essence by a couple of bucks. However, desert essence comes in a 6.25 tube while organique comes in a 5.29 oz tube so the cost probably balances out to about the same. next, the ingredients on both read fairly well as both avoided the use of sls (sodium lauryl sulfate), fluoride, artificial sweeteners and harsh abrasives. however, there were a lot of ingredients in organique that my lay eyes could not decipher or recognize which was a bit of a turn off. i have a motto that if i can’t grasp it, i can’t ingest it lol.
so essentially, it came down to scent, texture and taste and in that category desert essence is the champ hands down! organique had a rather unpleasant scent and was quite distasteful. perhaps it’s my programming to expect the minty fresh smell and taste of mainstream toothpaste which hinders me from being open enough to appreciate it, but either way desert essence is still the one i’ll be going to bed with and waking up with in the mornings 
who wins is the victor for you between organique vs desert essence toothpaste? or is there a another natural toothpaste brand that who holds the key to your heart? if so, please share.
sunflower smooches!
