I had a chance to try all the different ‘flavors’ of Solay Smile Natural Tooth Powders, but I chose Tangerine. I mean, how many times have you tasted Tangerine tooth powder? I know that the owner says that it’s great for kids…and it would be!...but I just wanted something different. I was not disappointed.
Each of the five ‘flavors’ all have the same base: Himalayan salt, baking soda, Xylitol and a special essential oil. So, other than each essential oil’s innate properties, each toothpowder is essentially the same. Clove is medicinal and antiseptic, Spearmint is antibacterial and high in vitamins A and C, Peppermint has not only vitamins A and C, but magnesium potassium, inositol, niacin, copper, iodine, silicon, iron, and sulfur as well! Tangerine oil is antiseptic, aids in circulation, and aids digestion, while Lemon and Lime essential oils are antimicrobial, antibacterial and is rich in vitamins A, B and C.
You may want to pick your toothpowder based on the essential oil’s properties, or you may just want to pick based on flavor. I can only speak for the Tangerine flavor, but it is light, decidedly Tangerine, and seems absolutely appropriate for morning brushing: sort of like your glass of morning juice!
Flavor aside, the ingredients are stellar, simple and work like a charm at getting your teeth clean and stimulating your gums. Himalayan salt is filled with 84 minerals (all the ones that your body requires!), is antiseptic, antibacterial and contributes a slight grit that helps to clean your teeth. This ‘grit’ is just salt, and melts away, without doing any stripping of enamel or damage to your gums. Salt actually stimulates your gums, keeping your whole mouth healthy! Baking soda is a natural cleaner and with its slight foaming action, it gets between teeth and helps deodorize your mouth. Baking soda, like salt, also makes your mouth alkaline…which deters cavities. Also deterring cavities is the wonder ingredient Xylitol. Our bodies produce Xylitol naturally, and while it makes anything it is used in sweeter, it also gives long term protection against tooth decay.
No fluoride, no preservatives, no dyes, chemicals, fillers or toxins, this toothpowder is a basic, natural and very effective way of keeping your teeth and gums clean and healthy. The flavor is up to you, but kid’s stuff or not, the Tangerine is way cool!
