Toothpaste... such a boring subject, some interesting things;

Do you know seaweed helps to give toothpaste its consistency? Seaweed functions as a thickening agent and it stabilizes toothpaste so it can be squeezed from a tube.

The first recipe for toothpaste was found in Egypt from around 5000 BC, they were using ox hoof ash and burnt eggshells to clean their teeth. That first toothpaste recipe also lists ingredients of fried iris flower, mint, and a pinch of salt to whiten teeth.

Romans had stronger stomachs. they made toothpastes from urine, of course they also used oyster shells, crushed bones and other abrasive materials to grind away the bad stuff....suddenly I feeling excited about our offerings again!
