Everyone’s oral care routine looks a little different.


Some people prefer fluoride toothpaste. Others choose fluoride‑free. Some like a bold mint, others prefer something mild. What matters most isn’t following a single approach - it’s brushing well, twice a day, with a toothpaste you’re comfortable using.

Fluoride or Fluoride‑Free: A Personal Preference

Fluoride toothpaste is a familiar choice for many. Others prefer fluoride‑free for personal or lifestyle reasons. With Red Seal, both options are available - and for most people, it comes down to what aligns with their preferences and routine.

Our Range Reflects Different Routines

At Red Seal, we offer options so you can choose what feels right for you:

  • Fluoride‑free: Most of our toothpastes
  • Fluoride: Three of our flavours are available with fluoride
  • New ingredient tech: We now offer a hydroxyapatite option as well

Rather than a single “right” answer, we focus on providing a selection that supports different preferences.

NATRUE Certification and Ingredient Trust

All Red Seal toothpastes are NATRUE‑certified natural, which reflects our commitment to authenticity and transparency in formulation. NATRUE is an independent, internationally recognised certification that sets clear standards around ingredient origin, processing and acceptability. Certification means our toothpaste formulas meet strict criteria for what can and can’t be included - providing an additional layer of confidence in the ingredients used. For us, NATRUE certification isn’t about trends or labels; it’s about working within a defined natural standard so people can make informed choices about the products they use every day.

Consistency Over Perfection

Toothpaste choice doesn’t need to be complicated or divisive. The simplest constant remains the same: brush well, twice daily, with a product you’re happy to use. Fluoride, fluoride‑free, or hydroxyapatite - each has a place depending on the individual.

If your routine feels comfortable and sustainable, you’re more likely to keep it up. That’s the goal.
