Hi Barrie,

Glad to see you out of your " lurking " station. Unfortunately, it is the

sodium lauryl sulfate that is usually added to toothpaste. I guess they

figure if it clease floors really well just think how good it will clean

your teeth. Really doesn't matter which one they use neither of them is

natural. You would be much better off brushing your teeth with coconut oil.
