My uncle would get on me about using products that contain harmful chemicals. For instance, he is extremely strict about toothpaste. We’ll eat a box of cookies together and caramel popcorn from the movie theater, but when it comes to toothpaste, he’s conscious about what he uses.
If you’re interested in using products that don’t contain harmful chemicals and improve your oral health, then check out my top two favs.
