Toothpastes With No Micro Beads

Micro breads are tiny pieces of plastic, barely visible, that are being added to some toothpastes and body scrubs. Environmentalists are campaigning to ban the use of them, because they remain in the water supply and do not bio-degrade. Sewage plants cannot remove them as they are so small. There is great concern they are entering the food chain in marine life, which in turn could end up being consumed by humans. Also, whilst most toothpaste is spat out, there is always some left in the mouth, so these micro beads could be swallowed.

Flora and Fauna International have researched hundreds of cosmetics and toothpaste and according to them, the following toothpastes, listed below, are FREE OF MICROBEADS. If the toothpaste you use is not listed, it is possible they have micro beads in them. They are sometimes called micro crystals on packaging. They are meant as a mild abrasive to help remove stains. Biodegradable alternatives are salt crystals and ground nut shells.
