Himalaya Kids Cool Mint Toothpaste
Are you looking for a children's toothpaste with a flavor your child won't complain about? This Kids Cool Mint Toothpaste from Himalaya has a fresh, mild mint flavor that isn't too sharp for children. The tube contains 80 grams, is 100% vegan, and contains no fluoride, SLS, carrageenan, gluten, or colorings. Brushing feels less like a chore and more like a regular part of the day.
What is in this children's toothpaste
The base is simple. Calcium carbonate and hydrated silica are mild cleaning particles: they scrub away dental plaque and food residue while your child brushes, without coarse granules. Xylitol is a sweetener from plants, just like stevia extract. This makes the paste taste sweet without containing sugar. Lauryl glucoside and a glutamate from coconut create a soft foam, instead of the well-known sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS). You will also find extracts of neem leaf and pomegranate, plus a range of Ayurvedic plant extracts such as amla, arjuna, and haritaki, most of which are organic.
Why this toothpaste contains no fluoride
Himalaya deliberately chooses a fluoride-free formula for this range. What many parents do not know is that in the Netherlands, dentists and the Ivory Cross usually recommend a toothpaste with fluoride for children, tailored to their age. If you are unsure what suits your child, discuss it with your dentist or dental hygienist. If you use this toothpaste, the usual rules still apply: brush twice a day, use a pea-sized amount for children under 6, and always brush under the supervision of an adult.
Fresh mint flavor without artificial flavorings
Children brush for longer if they like the taste. That sounds logical, but in practice, it really makes a difference. The mint flavor is fresh but mild, ideal for children who find bubble gum too sweet and are ready for something fresher. It contains no artificial flavorings or colorings. Once opened, the toothpaste has a shelf life of 6 months.
Who this children's toothpaste is intended for
This toothpaste is made for children who are learning to brush their teeth themselves, with a parent beside them to measure out the amount. For children under 2 years old, Himalaya recommends consulting your dentist first. Because the formula is vegan and free from SLS, gluten, and colorings, it is also suitable for families who are consciously mindful of these. Many parents wonder if it is bad if their child swallows a little toothpaste. In short, the advice is not to swallow it, which is why that pea-sized amount and supervision are so important.
In short, this is a mild toothpaste for children, made in India by Himalaya, a brand that has been working with plant extracts since 1930. An 80-gram tube, a flavor children recognize, and an ingredient list without colorings or SLS. It is best to make the choice of whether or not to use fluoride together with your dentist.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this children's toothpaste contain fluoride?
No, this toothpaste is fluoride-free. In the Netherlands, dentists usually recommend fluoride toothpaste for children. If you are unsure, consult your dentist about what is best for your child.
Is it serious if my child swallows some toothpaste?
The advice on the packaging is clear: do not swallow. That is why you should only use a pea-sized amount for young children and brush their teeth together. Teach your child to spit out the foam after brushing.
Why is this toothpaste sweet if it contains no sugar?
The sweet taste comes from xylitol and stevia extract. These are plant-based sweeteners that are not sugars. This makes the toothpaste taste pleasant without any added sugars.
What do neem and pomegranate do in toothpaste?
Neem is a tree from India whose leaves have been used in oral care in Ayurveda for centuries. Himalaya combines the extract with pomegranate and other Ayurvedic plant extracts. They are part of the formula and give the toothpaste its spicy character beneath the fresh mint flavor.
What is the difference between the Cool Mint and the Bubble Gum variant?
Only the flavor. Cool Mint is fresh and mild, Bubble Gum is sweet and fruity. The formula with xylitol, neem and pomegranate is otherwise the same, and both are vegan and fluoride-free.
