Seeing how on Instagram now, you can basically follow any business company that sells products, which is great because I am one that loves to follow businesses/companies of products that I can either try or purchase eventually, or in this case, just email the business and ask if I can do a review on their products, and I received an instant “yes!” which I thought was great. I am enjoying being a blog Influencer, so I am giving my thoughts on this toothpaste; Hello activated Charcoal with fresh mint & coconut oil toothpaste.
I was intrigued to see an unfamiliar brand that’s focused on being all natural. I picked up the box and started reading the packaging. Words and phrases like: no dyes; no preservatives; and no artificial sweeteners caught my eye. Curious I turned the box over and continued to like what I read: Never tested on animals. Vegan + leaping bunny certified. 100% recyclable paperboard + printed with soy inks.
“Wow,” I thought to myself, “Another brand focused on being all natural and environmentally friendly. And they’re in a big store like Target!” The price was about the same as Tom’s and I was ready to buy it. But I wanted to know what the tube itself looked like inside the paperboard. I was disappointed with what I saw when I got it out of the box. Hello on the other hand, is pretty much everything that Tom's of Maine is, but without a large parent company doing and investing in things I don't agree with. They are new to the market and therefore need more support. So with that in mind, I guess the oversized cap of Hello's toothpaste isn't that big of a deal in the larger scheme of things. I remember the first time I used Tom's of Maine toothpaste - I thought it was gross, kind of salty and tasted like baking soda. I doubt those thoughts will cross anyone's mind when using Hello toothpaste, even if they've been using standard overly sweet toothpaste. The Hello toothpaste isn't as foamy as Tom's. It's taken me a little getting used to and not use more toothpaste to make it foam more. But foam or no foam, the toothpaste leaves my mouth feeling fresh, minty and clean. And gives me that ‘I’ve just been to the dentist’ sorta of feeling!
Toothpaste Packaging
Since the tube stands on the cap, more toothpaste is used up thanks to gravity. I feel like less toothpaste will be tossed away compared to regular toothpaste tubes where more effort has to be put into squeezing out every last bit of the toothpaste.
I don't find the Hello toothpaste cap more or less convenient to use than regular screw on or flip toothpaste caps. But the packaging is cute nonetheless, don’t get me wrong. Also comes in many other colors and flavors; three flavors of Hello: Mojito Mint, Sweet Mint, and Natural Watermelon (for kids). Overall, my thoughts and opinions are completely my own, and I know others will agree to disagree, and that’s okay. Nonetheless though, besides some cons in this product; I do like the toothpaste; just not what I expect out of a normal toothpaste would be like.
