In 2011, David’s founder, Eric David Buss, began looking into the ingredients being used in the “natural” toothpaste he was using, and found that many of the ingredients were unhealthy.  After looking for a better alternative, and not happy with what was available, a “simple” idea of creating his own toothpaste was formed.  Through exhaustive research with industry experts, they were able to identify the best natural ingredients to safely and effectively fight to remove plaque, whiten teeth, and freshen breath.  While talking to ingredient suppliers, they also found that most toothpaste companies use a lot of importehttps://goodebox.com/files/2015/09/page/d ingredients in their “Made in USA” toothpaste, which led to their commitment to using premium USA origin ingredients in our effort to sustain American jobs.  Today, their vision, research, development, and commitment to sustainability brings you David’s Natural Toothpaste.

PRODUCT
David’s is a premium natural toothpaste, made in California, with a focus on sustainability. It is simply the highest quality and best natural toothpaste available formulated to safely and whiten teeth, remove plaque, and freshen breath. The crushed limestone (calcium carbonate) and crushed sand (silica) work together to naturally remove plaque and surface stains creating whiter teeth and a clean and healthy mouth. Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is used to naturally neutralize the acids, which further reduces the bacteria causing plaque. Premium mint oil from various mint growing regions across the USA are blended together to create an amazing mint flavor and freshen breath.

Camping. It’s an affordable, fun way to re-connect with nature and unplug from the rest of the world. Bring along a few close friends, choose a sweet spot, light a crackling fire and memory making shenanigans are sure to ensure. Despite the often idyllic setting, camping also involves dirt, grime, bugs and the occasional marshmallow mishap and doesn’t always involve access to a shower and easy clean up. Maintaining your personal hygiene while roughing it and in close quarters will not only make your trip more enjoyable for you, but your fellow campers will thank you for it. Here are 8 essentials to stash in your backpack to keep you fresh and comfortable for all of your excursions.

Red Flower Wanderlust Hand and Face Towelette 

More than once (if you’re doing this whole outdoors thing right), you’re likely to find yourself completely filthy (think dirt, bugs, sap, etc.) with no access to running water. An alternative to bathing, these handy anti-bacterial, soft fiber cloths use whole essential oils of hinoki cypress wood, gurjum balsam resin, vetivert grass, red cedarwood atlas, mandarin rind, and citrus rockrose oil, to moisturize and stimulate the senses. Give yourself a scrub down each night with one or two wipes. Make sure to get your pits, face, hands, feet and anywhere else sweat, dirt and grime have found there way into. For those with sensitive skin or who prefer something unscented, Acure Organics Argan Towelettes is another great option for your nightly scrub.

HealthyHoohoo Natural Feminine Wipes

No bathroom? No problem! Perfectly portable for your most precious parts these wipes are pH balanced to work with your natural chemistry to keep you clean. Fragrance-free, glycerin free, gluten-free and with just a touch of aloe for moisturizing HealthyHoohoo wipes are perfect for a quick refresher. And these aren’t just for the ladies. Gentlemen, keeping your manly parts clean is equally as important.

EO Organic Lavender Natural Hand Sanitizer Spray

Ingesting illness inducing bacteria is never fun, but when there’s no sink to scrub up and you’re far from medical care (or a bathroom), the risk is that much higher. Organic ethanol is a natural disinfectant that does no harm when absorbed into skin or our ecosystem. Use after bathroom breaks, before grabbing a handful of trail mix and before preparing any meals. With no residue left behind you can use this hand sanitizer before each meal or snack or after relieving yourself to reduce the likelihood of getting sick on the trail.

skinnyskinny Organic Dry Shampoo

Easy to use, fast-acting dry shampoo keeps hair feeling (and smelling) fresh and clean while outdoors. Simply shake a small amount over your head, targeting your roots and blend using your fingertips to absorb oil and remove grime without water.

Meraki Sage Orange Deodorant

Before you embark on that long, sweaty hike or when temperatures are likely to climb, take steps to stave off the stink by applying a natural deodorant like Meraki’s Sage Orange Deodorant. This effective formula is not only free of any harsh chemicals, parabens and aluminum compounds, but it’s also completely vegan! Made with organic coconut oil to sooth sensitive skin, pure baking soda to neutralize odors and and arrowroot powder to soak up extra moisture. The scent is also completely customizable, all you have to do is ask!

Skincando Combat Ready Balm

From biting insects to irritating foliage to the chafing that can occur during a long trek, rashes happen and sometimes we just plain forget to put on sunblock. Originally used by soldiers in the war zone, this salve can easily tackle bug bites, minor abrasions, chafing, sun and wind burn to soothe and help heal.

Zoe Organics Insect Repellent

Speaking of the annoying little buggers that can be buzzing around you all night, Zoe Organics Insect Repellent will keep them at bay. Not your ordinary insect repellent, this 100% organic blend of botanical oils will keep the cooties away while you enjoy yourself.

Blue Avocado Essential Pouch

Ok, so there are really nine products on the list, because what camping kit would be complete without a bag to store it all? Blue Avocado’s Essential Pouch easily holds all of these camping necessities. The Essential Pouch is made from upcycled T-shirts right here in the USA, so each bag is completely unique.

Although summer is coming to a close, it’s never too late to liberate your pits from less than healthy ingredients while still keeping the dreaded B.O. at bay. Here are 4 of our favorite options for stink free living, sans aluminum compounds.

LOVEFRESH

If you have very sensitive skin and just the thought of putting anything on your pits makes you itch, Lovefresh Natural Cream Deodorant was made for you. Although they have a variety of wonderful scents from floral to fruity in their highly effective baking soda base formulas, their Eucalyptus/Spearmint scent is formulated without baking soda, specifically for those with the most sensitive skin who can’t tolerate baking soda deodorants, to keep you rash and odor free all day. Plus, the coconut oil and shea butter will leave your pits so soft you’ll want to snuggle with them.

PiperWai

Free of harmful chemicals and aluminum compounds, Piper Wai’s natural charcoal cream deodorant has you covered. Now, we know what you’re thinking: “Charcoal? Isn’t that just for barbeques?” Short answer: No. The activated charcoal can absorb 1,000x its own weight in moisture, making it one of few natural deodorants that also helps to absorb underarm dampness (we can’t actually call it an antiperspirant, as it’s not, but it helps!) The easy to spread cream forms an invisible, absorbent, pH balanced shield that neutralizes odor and actually protects your clothes from wet stains. No more embarrassing yellow and white streaks on your favorite dress.  It’s perfect for sensitive skin, even right after shaving, and has a wonderful unisex scent fit for everyone.

Honestly pHresh

If you aren’t quite ready to make the full switch from your conventional deodorant to one you scoop from a jar and apply with your fingertips (honestly, it’s really not that bad…they are your pits after all), Honestly pHresh is a great segue into the natural world without giving up a familiar application device and more conventional product texture. Open to a cream? They have both cream and stick deodorants available and scents for both men and women.  The combination of Saccromyces Ferment, a natural antibacterial enzyme, and Calendula, which fights off free radicals, protect the skin against inflammation and odor. All Honestly pHresh deodorants glide on smooth and won’t leave any residue on your clothes.

Primal Pit Paste

Primal Pit Paste is all about the options. Their effective formulas come in a wide variety of appealing (natural) scents, for both men and women, including Jasmine, Coconut Lime, Patchoulli, Lavender, Thyme & Lemongrass, Royal & Rogue and Unscented, among others.  They also offer multiple strengths, including, Light (for those of you who “glow” instead of sweat), Regular (for the averagely odorous) and Extra Strength (for the seriously damp and stinky).  What’s more, they have both an easy to spread cream formula and stick applicator available.  Their potent, baking soda based formula neutralizes the bacteria that causes odor and organic arrowroot powder will help you feel drier while still allowing a healthy sweat to release toxins. Organic shea butter and antimicrobial coconut oil nurture skin, preventing irritation.

In the words of one (in)famous deodorant commercial, “Never let them see you sweat”, and if they do, you can at least make sure you smell good when it happens without smearing a variety of potentially health compromising ingredients on to one of the body’s most sensitive, lymph adjacent areas.
