Frequently Asked Questions

We’re always here to answer your most pressing questions.

Where are your toothpastes made?

Over 30 years ago, Red Seal pioneered the idea of Natural Toothpaste in NZ and all of our toothpastes are manufactured in Auckland NZ.

Are Red Seal toothpastes suitable for vegans?

All Red Seal toothpastes are suitable for vegetarians, however are not registered as vegan. However, if you are vegan you may not want to use the Propolis toothpaste as it uses Propolis, which is product made by bees.

Can I use Propolis toothpaste if I have a bee allergy?

Please avoid Propolis toothpaste if you have a known bee allergy.

Do Red Seal toothpastes contain salicylates?

Yes. There are natural essential oils in the toothpastes such as peppermint, and aniseed which all naturally contain salicylates. If someone has a strong salicylate allergy they should avoid these toothpastes. However, the Lemon Fresh toothpaste is lower in salicylate content and maybe a good alternative.

Does Red Seal test toothpaste on animals?

No. We do not test toothpaste on non-humans at any stage, development or during the manufacturing process (although our staff are great taste testers).

Is Red Seal toothpaste suitable for children?

Both our Red Seal Kids toothpastes have been specially formulated for young children - enjoy peace of mind with NATRUE certified natural formulations and having your wee ones excited to brush their teeth!

Children do not have a spitting reflex until around age 5, therefore we made Red Seal kids natural toothpaste to stop the nasties getting absorbed while they learn to brush their teeth. Start with a small pea sized amount, twice a day after a meal for two minutes.
