Turth about Pimpant Toxicity
After reviewing the INCI list of this Pimpant toothpaste (Erythritol, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Aroma, Sodium Fluoride, Rebaudioside A), we observe that while it successfully does without harsh sulfates, it still fails in two fundamental areas of toxicological dentistry:
Sodium Fluoride (1450 ppm): Functional medicine advises an absolute transition away from synthetic fluoride so as not to induce the underlying cytotoxicity it entails. It is important to remember that the massive vascularization of the oral mucosa ensures an ultra-fast absorption pathway into the bloodstream.
Sodium Benzoate and Potassium Sorbate: The brand uses these synthetic preservatives, which are on the list of harmful substances to be strictly avoided, as sodium benzoate can act as a strong allergen, dermal sensitizer, and systemic irritant. In the management of bathroom products, and especially to protect Jimena, the exclusion of sodium benzoate is an absolute priority, given that its irritating effects are particularly severe in children's products.
Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate: As a redeeming feature, the brand employs this acceptable plant-based surfactant, which is a much safer and gentler alternative to barrier destroyers like sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS).
I have not tried their products, but now I know this, I will not.
However, I wish they were different with a truely toxic free solution
