Jack N' Jill Natural Toothpaste and Biodegradable Toothbrush Review
My husband and I really made a conscious parenting decision when it came to our child's dental hygiene. It was very important to us to start early (even before buds popped) so we would not have to struggle later on. So we would wipe his gums off with a damp towel, and later moved on to the finger brush with water, but eventually with the addition of solid foods and actual teeth we were in need of the real deal.
Yup a TOOTHBRUSH AND TOOTHPASTE!
Well we try our best to be natural parents, hey nobody is perfect, but we knew we wanted a fluoride-free, swallowable, natural toothpaste that also tasted great!! We tried some popular mainstream kids brand of toothpaste at first and it fulfilled 2 of our requirements (fluoride-free)(safe to swallow) but fell completely short on the other.
Then we found JACK N' JILL! It was exactly what I was looking for and then some! This company makes a natural toothpaste with organic flavors and organic calendula, with a biodegradable toothbrush to match!
Besides having many organic toothpaste flavors to choose from this toothpaste is also kosher, vegan, gluten free and contains NO alligines! Plus (wait for it) Jack N' Jill is absolutely free of anything GMO and free of Palm Oil derivatives.
Can you say EUREKA !!!!
The happy and surprising key ingredient for us though was the organic calendula. Don't know what that is? No worries! Calendula is believed to have natural healing and anti-inflammatory properties which is a huge bonus for sore baby gums with little tooth buds that seem to pop in like popcorn! OUCH!!
However, would it past the taste test? Needless to say it sure did! We have only tried the blackcurrent flavor but it really is a yummy fruity flavor! Of course I just had to try it for myself. The consistency really threw me off a bit. It's a very thick, clear, sticky gel like consistency. It's not bad just different.
The toothbrush is cute, fun and easy to handle and is also very eco-friendly!! It's biodegradable and made 100% out of corn starch... Corn starch for real! Wow what a total bonus for this ecoMama! We found a winner!!!
What can I say we love our Jack N' Jill organic dental hygiene products!! Total winner!
