Toothpaste and switching shampoo brands.

When Ulrika moved out she gave me a bunch of really nice things that she didn’t wanna bring with her… (Thank you!!) Among them were Urtekram’s aloe vera tooth paste. I’ve only used it for two days but I think it works really good and I am glad it doesn’t have flouride in it. It feels a bit strange at first to use a tooth paste that doesn’t make your mouth taste like menthol but the teeth feels clean and all good. The price for it is ca 37 kronor according to my google search and I am totally going to switch over to this full time once I’ve used up my old one.
Urtekram (click here to go to their website) is a danish company that has been making ecological & organic products since 1972. Their products are not tested on animals which is a big plus aswell. And the factories are run with no use of oil, and only wind power! And so on… they are pretty great.
The other week, before I got the tooth paste, I also decided it was time for me to try a new shampoo brand. I bought this one at a Life Store (Life is a health store chain in Sweden) because it was the only Urtekram shampoo available and I’ve heard much good about them before. And it’s been really really good to my hair! Not that the hair was bad before but it stays clean & not greasy for at least one day longer with this shampoo. Which I love since my hair takes a long long time to dry, looks shit if blow dried and I don’t wanna leave the house with it wet. I think it also curls a bit more now but that could be my imagnation. The shampoo was like 70 kronor if I remember correctly which is ca 700% more expensive than my last shampoo, the Coop X-tra… but that’s ok.

Ah this reminds me to check the local organic supermarket for a tooth paste, I’ve been using one from the regular drugstore for years, but at least it has no fluoride in it (It’s ridiculous how hard it is to find one without it!). Lush had a tooth paste years ago, but they no longer sell it :(
Yours sounds good! :)

jag prövade på denna tandkrämen när jag var i Stockholm hos min kusin ett par veckor sedan. kändes faktist jättelustigt att det inte smakade mynta, och man tänkte “hjälp, kanske tänderna inte alls blir rena nu”, haha. men den smakade ju jättegott och tycktes ändå fungera.
