I am sad to report that Tom's of Maine has ditched all those wonderful SLS-free toothpaste flavors like clove and apricot and such, and we are just left with plain mint. But, at least we still have that!
One of our readers, Sabrina, tipped me off to a new toothpaste that is SLS free and appears to not have any coconut in the ingredients. It is called Closys. It's main feature is some germ-killing ability with some pretty scary sounding new chemicals that they have invented, but they do sell sample sizes so you may not have to blow $11 on a tube. But, at least on this website they have a coupon you can register for. I like coupons.
Can I just say how tired I am of having a coconut allergy and having to pay not just a percentage more for shampoos and toothpaste. . . but double or even quadruple!
A big thanks to everyone who sends ideas for products. Now, if I could just get some companies to send us some products to try! Us poor coconut allergic folks are still a minority in the US market.

I have used this for nearly ten years. My hygienist recommended it and was the first to tell me about SLS. I didn't realize then that it was derived from coconut - my only food allergy. To not live with constant canker sores is a beautiful thing.
Thanks for your blog!
