Toothpaste?

I heard there was an animal-derived ingredient in toothpaste. Is this true? What is this ingredient and what brands don%26#039;t contain it (if this is true?)

Toothpaste?
I CAN HELP! I have a vegan cookbook that tell you how to make easy vegan toothpaste. I use it myself.





Here are some-CINNAMON TOOTHPASTE





1tsp baking soda


1/4 tsp cinnamon


1 drop tea tree oil(OPTIONAL!!!)





%26quot;In a cup or small bowl, mix together the soda,cinnamon and tea oil.Place wet toothbrush in cup the brush.%26quot;





-How it all vegan. (Its a cookbook I brought a few days ago.)
Reply:this wont be true! toothpaste should be made for vegitarians as well as meat eaters
Reply:yep, some toothpastes have animal ingredients. I forgot what the ingredient(s) were though. I do know, that Tom%26#039;s of Maine, JASON, and nature%26#039;s gate toothpastes are all vegan.
Reply:You are not suppose to eat toothpaste. I don%26#039;t think it has animal products in it. If you are afraid use baking soda as toothpaste.
Reply:Ya, toothpaste does have animal-derived ingredient in it. it is called Sensodyne. It uses animal (beef).





But there is a great website that lists vegan toothpastes!

Reply:Yup, it%26#039;s the glycerine. And what is difficult is that glycerine can come from animal or plant sources, so just looking at the ingredients doesn%26#039;t tell you what you need to know. There are a bunch of Colgate products that are animal product free, I believe.
Reply:I never heard of that.
Reply:A safe choice of toothpaste does not have animal-derived ingredients. Instead it contains natural ingredients from plants. Like Maximum Teeth Whitening - a whitening and antibacterial toothpaste.
