Toxins in Toothpaste

Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES)- (in many personal care products and many shampoos) Both SLS and SLES are potential carcinogens and may form dioxane when interacting with other chemicals. Clinical studies show both of these chemicals causing hair loss. Fluoride : One of the most common ways fluoride is made is by filtering airborne industrial waste given off by fertilizer producers. Saccharin : An artificial sweetener used in toothpaste, mouthwash and lipstick. Lab rats developed bladder cancer after being given this substance in high doses. The FDA still lists it as a possible carcinogen. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) : SLS is used as a detergent and helps make the toothpaste foam.

Is volcanic ash an ingredient of toothpaste?

The answer to this question is Yes. Fine-grained volcanic ash is used as a polishing compound, and can be found in toothpaste and household scrubbing compounds. While most toothpaste tubes will give you the ingredients of the toothpaste, volcanic ash is nowhere to be seen on the list of ingredients. This is because volcanic ash is called tephra and it is ground down to a very fine power before it is added to the other ingredients that makes up the active ingredients of the toothpaste.
