What can I say except that I was very excited to try this product as I had never used something like this before. I was a bit shocked at first by the taste as it is not what I am used to nor did it foam up like “regular” toothpaste. If you can get past that bit ( which I did quite easily after I compared ingredients in this toothpaste to the toothpaste I had in my cupboard ) then you will be like me a toothpaste convert. Big thumbs up Weleda you tick all my boxes. Weleda Salt Toothpaste you certainly cleaned my teeth better, they were sparkling and my mouth may not of smelt or tasted minty fresh but you did however provide as sensational whole mouth clean that lasts. I have been using Weleda Salt Toothpaste since early March and I have found over this time that my teeth appear whiter. The true test when I went to see my dentist 2 weeks ago…………. verdict………….. no big dentist bill ( no bill at all actually who would of thought huh ) , no drooling on myself from an anaesthetised mouth due to needing a filling. Just me leaving with a big smile on my face a skip in my step and money in my pocket. Needless to say I celebrated my savings with chocolate 🙂

This is hands down my favorite toothpaste. I (should but don’t) care about SLS or fluoride… I just love this paste! I find that because it doesn’t foam I spend more time brushing. I used this paste for years, then due to where I lived I switched back to regular toothpaste. Big mistake! The last 3 trips to the dentist have left a crowded place behind a tooth feeling “crusty”. I asked my hygienist to pay special attention to the area, and she said it was clean but had scaling which made it feel unclean. Well, I’m sure she meant well, but she was wrong! After using this paste for 3 days, the area feels squeeky clean again! I’m back, Weleda… for good!
