Purple Toothpaste

Did you see this presented last night in Shawn's show? $15 a tube, and they never even said how many oz. in the tube. Ordinary toothpaste with added artificial dyes to make it purple! The purple color is supposed to counteract the yellowness on the teeth and produce whitening effect.

@Shelbelle I’m assuming that’s the same premise of using purple shampoo on grey hair to remove yellow or brassiness. Don’t know how many ounces in tube. Info. on line?

4 0Z, I looked it up, and yes the spiel on the presentation was same premise as using purple to take brassiness out of grey and white hair. But, why the high price for artificial dyes, that irks me. Crest couild easily change their blue dye in their gel to make it purple instead. If they added red dye to the blue it would be purple!!

Two 4-oz Whitening Primer & Toothpastes

I don't know if th purple is just an added color (probably), but you do get 2 4oz tubes of tooth whitening pastes, so $30 is about average for that.

I didn't see the presentation but I went to checkout the product and the ingredients scare me. What makes this better than brushing with active charcoal that has maybe two or three ingredients and is more natural.

As I said earlier, it has an artificial dye that is red and one that is blue, to make the purple color, no peroxide in there, which is not a bad thing, but artificial dyes of any kind are not a postitve thing. .

There is no good reason to pay this much for toothpaste. Just add a little baking soda to your favorite drugstore whitening toothpaste, even the ones for sensitive teeth. Works for me.
