  • Your opinion on this cheap toothpaste

    From Ottavio Caruso@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jan 17 09:29:40 2021
    https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/300239893

    INGREDIENTS: Aqua, Sorbitol, Hydrated Silica, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate,
    Aroma, Cellulose Gum, Zinc Citrate, Titanium Dioxide, Sodium Fluoride,
    Sodium Saccharin, Sodium Hydroxide.

    Available at Tesco (UK) for £ 0.50 (USD 0.68).

    Ingredients look the same as more expensive toothpastes. Apart from the
    fact it tastes a bit too sweet, for the rest it gives a nice feeling of
    clean and fresh.

    Too good to be true?

    Don't know about the toothpaste but I usually buy cheaper store brands
    as they are the same product as name brands. They are cheaper because
    they do not have the cost burden of advertisement. Ingredient list
    would be what I would expect from most toothpastes.

    Nothing wrong with the ingredients list, unless you are sensitive to one
    or more of the ingredients. The most common culprit in this list is the
    sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), which is basically a detergent.
