Most conventional toothpaste contain SLS, which is often petroleum based, can affect people with sensitivities. We use a gentle, natural foaming agent derived from coconuts called sodium cocoyl isethionate.
In other words, a fluoride alternative that was developed by NASA. 10% nano-hydroxyapatite has been clinically proven to remineralize tooth enamel at the same level as fluoride.

Welcome to Shades of Green, I’m so glad you’re here!
When I opened the store in 2009 there wasn’t many options for sustainable, earth friendly products in our community. It was a bit hard at first to source these kinds of products but now with so many people getting on board with the Zero waste movement there’s so much more available. We love to support Local and Canadian Made products as much as possible but when we do source products made outside of North America we make sure they are Made responsibly in Fair Trade practices.
Thank you for visiting the shop and wherever you are on your earth loving journey we are here to help. Small changes everyday can make a big impact.
