Frequently Asked Questions
Black Hawk Treats
Are Red Seal toothpastes dairy-free and/or soy-free?
Red Seal toothpastes do not contain any dairy products. In fact, many of our toothpastes are certified vegan. The only exceptions are our Propolis and Propolis Mint toothpastes, which contain propolis and are therefore not considered vegan.
There may be some soy present in some toothpastes as the glycerin we use can be derived from either soy or rapeseed.
What age can you give kids toothpaste to brush their teeth with?
We always recommend adult supervision when children are brushing their teeth.
Generally, brushing with water is sufficient for children under 1 years of age, then moving onto a fluoride-free child's toothpaste after their first year. However, as every child’s development phase differs, we recommend you seek the advice from your local Dentist or GP for personalised advice.
We recommend only a tiny dot of toothpaste as when children are young they may not be able to spit it out properly.
Always check the ingredient list to make sure your child isn’t sensitive to any of the ingredients. Discontinue use if there are signs of irritation.
Does Red Seal toothpaste contain sweetener?
Stevia is the sweetener used in all of our NATRUE Certified toothpastes to give them a balanced taste that's pleasant to brush with.
Our NATRUE formulations also include Xylitol which aids in sweetening whilst inhibiting cavity-causing bacteria. Its ability to neutralize pH levels and inhibit bacterial growth supports oral health while providing a pleasant taste.

Can my child swallow Red Seal toothpaste?
Our Kids Tuttifrutti toothpaste is made with natural ingredients and is certified to the NATRUE true standard, making it safe if swallowed by children. We understand that young children may take some time to learn how to spit out toothpaste, so we ensure our products are safe for them, we still recommend adult supervision to encourage spitting to get in the habit.
Once they’re cabably spitting out their toothpaste, they can start using Red Seal Kids Fluoride Berry Bubblicious, which is also made with ingredients certified natural to the NATRUE standard. Always follow the instructions on the toothpaste packaging and use products specifically designed for children to ensure their safety. Also check the ingredient list to make sure your child isn’t sensitive to any of the ingredients. Discontinue use if there are signs of irritation.
