Colgate Natural Extracts Acai Review

-

Colgate is a worldwide brand. They sell certain toothpastes in some countries and not others because tastes vary around the world.

Natural Extracts are sold in many parts of the world but not in the USA.

When I did a Google search, the top organic search result for "Natural Extracts" was for a not-quite-in-the-ballpark page on Saudi Arabia's Colgate website. Adding "Açaí" to the search phrase did yield a relevant page.

Tube of Colgate Açaí Natural Extracts toothpaste

My lovely daughter-in-law made a business trip to El Salvador and came back with a wonderful gift of Açaí Natural Extracts toothpaste. She gave it to me as a Christmas present. I have taken a long time to write this review, because describing the flavor is almost beyond my abilities.

Açaí and Red fruits and berries (translated from Spanish) is an interesting choice for a toothpaste flavor. One would think of a natural yogurt or ice cream - but not a mouth-cleansing product.

The flavor perfectly balances both sweet and refreshing. After brushing, my mouth feels clean and ready to experience what's ahead.

Next time you head to Mexico or Central America, pick up a tube!

You know the brand - but not the flavor. I bought this in Nairobi, Kenya. It was made in Egypt for the African marketplace. You won't find it in North America or Europe! It says on the tube, "Limited Edition" - so my guess is that it did not survive as a long-term flavor. Another sales point is that it is labeled "Flavalicious". There is a tension - if it tastes too good, then kids will eat it! And not to worry - it did not taste too good. (But then, I'm not a kid.) There is a small hint of mint. The paste is very light brownish white. And there is a helpful diagram on back showing how good it is to brush your teeth.

Odol-med3

Translation: "extra-fresh pure". This has a very clean, almost astringent taste... think mouthwash. I like the aftertaste - it leaves my mouth feeling, as they say, extra fresh . Of course it falls into the minty category. The paste appears very similar to Aquafresh - but its taste is nothing like that! Odol-med3 is made in Germany and may not be available elsewhere. The glowing ice on the package might not be something you'd see in America; for some reason, ice and toothpaste are not a natural combination here. But I think that pairing is a good one. My friends John & Amy , who live in Germany, sent this one over. (Thank you!)

Yunnan Baiyao Toothpaste Review

This review is an illustration of how busy I get... My friend Mike brought this lovely tube of Yunnan Baiyo over from Beijing, China in April. It's now mid-October, and I'm finally getting time to write about this toothpaste. It's a clean white paste with very straight-ahead minty flavor. The packaging is 99% in Chinese, which is one of my favorite things - it's not produced for export. Google Translate did its action on the box's interior text and let me know that it stops bleeding and heals wounds. I haven't had much bleeding of my gums, thankfully. But if I did, this might be helpful. Google search yielded this : "Yunnan Baiyao (also known as Yunnan Paiyao) is a Chinese herbal mixture consisting primarily of notoginseng that has become a popular product among veterinary clients." And I love the package's illustrations of teeth in various states of distress... Thank you, Mike! You enriched my life - and my teeth. Maybe someday I will get to visit...
