All the brands listed below offer a great and high quality range of vegan toothpastes.
They can be bought at any health food store in Ireland. They cost between 4 and 5eur, but once again, you are paying for a product that contains no chemicals and manufactured by an ethical company.

We do not recommend buying from corporations such as Procter & Gamble or cogate-Palmolive, as they carry animal testing to test their products/ingredients. Therefore their products are not vegan.

We also do not recommend buying Tom's of Maine dental care products as they are owned by Colgate-Palmolive.
For more info, see companies to avoid.
