Healthy laughter: why shouldn’t toothpastes contain parabens?!

Parabens are a preservative that makes toothpaste last longer and protects it from loss of quality.

Although you don’t normally swallow toothpaste, its not always harmless ingredients are still absorbed through the oral mucosa and thus enter the bloodstream particularly quickly. Since most people have no idea about this, they carelessly brush their mouths with toothpaste several times a day without knowing what it really contains and what it can do to our health.

Parabens not only work in toothpaste, but also in the body after they have been absorbed undisturbed through the oral mucosa.

They are considered problematic because they can have a hormone-like effect on the body. Parabens can cause a certain feminization, especially in young male children. Allergies to parabens are also now widespread. If you often get red pustules on your skin after showering, applying cream or brushing your teeth, you should get tested for a possible allergy.

Parabens have also been found in breast cancer tissue. Whether parabens actually promote the development of cancer is still controversial and unfortunately many toothpastes still contain this substance.

I strongly advise against using toothpastes with parabens.

The Pearl Shield Gel toothpaste from Snow Pearl does not contain parabens or any other dangerous substances that I will address in other blogs.

The Pearl Shield Gel toothpaste from Snow Pearl has excellent properties:

1. It reduces tooth sensitivity

2. It repairs incipient caries lesions

3. It reduces the formation of new plaque

4. It works for up to 12 hours thanks to its bioactive and patented fluoride molecules.

5. It contains much less fluoride than a conventional toothpaste.
