Why You Need to Stay Far Away from Some Dollar Store Toothpastes!

Share Article

Although this is predominantly a blog about skin care and dermatology, I know from comments and e-mails that my readers also tend to be money-savvy and ingredient-aware. With that said, certain toothpastes from discount stores, such as select dollar stores, are actually toxic, according to the April 2008 issue of Self magazine. These toothpastes (which are usually imported from China) may contain diethylene glycol, a chemical that can cause kidney failure. Although diethylene glycol has an LD50 that demonstrates it is much less toxic than ethylene glycol, it is still inappropriate for even minor consumption. With that said, stick to drugstore brand toothpaste, and find another way to save money! 🙂
