THE FIRST THING THAT WE DO IN THE MORNING IS BRUSHING OUR TEETH. SOME BRUSH TWICE AND SOME ONCE A DAY. THE TOOTHPASTE THAT INDIA USES INCLUDES COLGATE (ON TOP), PEPSODENT , CLOSE UP,SENSODYNE.ORAL-B,DABUR, PATANJALI (THE LATEST ENTRANT) ETC. BUT HAVE WE CLOSELY LOOKED AT THE TOOTHPASTE TUBE BEFORE USING IT. WE MAY LOOK FOR THE PRICE, THE EXPIRY DATE AND THE EXTRA INGREDIENTS IN THE TOOTH PASTE. BUT HAVE WE CLOSELY LOOKED AT THE COLOR LABELS ON THE BOTTOM OF THE TUBE. WE WILL SEE A PARTICULAR COLOR SQUARE . THE COLORS THAT WE CAN MAINLY SEE ARE RED,BLACK,BLUE AND GREEN. YOU WILL NOT ONLY SEE THIS COLOR CODES ON TOOTHPASTE TUBES ONLY BUT ALSO ON FACE WASH,MOISTURIZING CREAMS AND EVERY OTHER COSMETICS.
1. GREEN - NATURAL
AS THE COLOR SUGGESTS GREEN STANDS FOR NATURAL AND SAFE. THE TOOTHPASTE THAT ARE GREEN ARE THOSE WHICH USE NATURAL INGREDIENTS LIKE AYURVEDIC STUFF. THOSE INCLUDE HIMALAYA, PATANJALI, DABUR ,VICCO,HERBODENT,COLGATE HERBAL.THEY ARE NOT FULLY HERBAL BUT COMPARING TO TOOTHPASTE WITH OTHER COLOR CODES,THEY ARE THE SAFEST ONES FOR TEETH.THE HERBALS USED ARE BABOOL, NEEM ,PEPPERMINT AND OTHER SPICES LIKE PUDINA, HALDI ETC.
2.BLUE - NATURAL AND MEDICINE
THE MEDICINES OR DRUGS USED ARE SODIUM FLUORIDE. IT MAKES TEETH RESISTANT TO DECAY AND BACTERIA THAT CAUSES CAVITIES. BUT THIS FLUORIDE HAS SIDE EFFECTS ALSO LIKE ALLERGIC REACTIONS, RASHES, ITCHING AND ALL.THE BLUE COLOR CAN BE SEEN ON TOOTHPASTE LIKE PEPSODENT,COLGATE,SENSODYNE,CREST ETC. BLUE COLOR IS SAFER BUT LESS THAN GREEN ONES.
3.RED - NATURAL AND CHEMICALS.
THIS COLOR IS CLEARLY VISIBLE ON MOST OF THE TOOTHPASTE.I AM A COLGATE USER AND MANY TIMES I HAVE SEEN THIS COLOR ON THE BOTTOM. THEY CONTAIN VARIETY OF CHEMICALS LIKE TRICLOSAN WHICH ACTS AS ANTI-BACTERIA BUT ALSO CAUSES CANCER, SODIUM SULFATE WHICH HELPS IN CREATING FOAM BUT YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE THAT IT WAS USED AS A PESTICIDE AND IS CURRENTLY BANNED,ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS WHICH CONTAINS ACID (METHANOL) THAT CAUSES NAUSEA, HEADACHE ETC,PROPYLENE GLYCOL -A MINERAL OIL USED IN INDUSTRIAL WORKS CAN CAUSE ORGAN FAILURE, DEA(DIETHANOLAMINE) ALSO CAUSES CANCER, MICROMEDS ARE PLASTIC CONTENTS WHICH WAS USED IN CREST TOOTHPASTE BY PROCTER&GAMBLE ALSO MAKERS OF ORAL-B.
4. BLACK - PURE CHEMICAL
THIS TYPE OF TOOTHPASTE CONTAINS ONLY CHEMICALS , THE CHEMICALS THAT I HAVE MENTIONED ABOVE IN LARGE QUANTITIES .BUT THESE TOOTHPASTE ARE VERY RARE OR NOT IN PRODUCTION , SO NEED TO WORRY ABOUT THIS BLACK PRODUCT.
SO NOW ON WARDS , WHEN YOU BUY ANY TOOTHPASTE OR ANY COSMETIC PRODUCTS, WATCH THESE COLOR CODES AND ALWAYS GO FOR GREEN AND BLUE. AND AND SOME WEBSITES ARE ALSO SAYING THAT THESE COLOR CODES ARE NOT RELATED TO ANY CONTENT INSIDE THE PASTE BUT RELATED TO PRODUCT PACKAGING PROCESS. I DON'T BELIEVE SO. SO WHAT DO YOU THINK. COMMENTS PLEASE.
