The Green Beaver Company

Nine toothpaste flavours — which one?
This is the part of the range worth spending a minute on, because the choice is wider than anywhere else on the shelf.
| If you want | Try |
|---|---|
| A conventional mint | Frosty mint or spearmint |
| Something genuinely different | Cilantro mint, star anise or cinnamon |
| Fruit rather than mint | Green apple or zesty orange |
| Children | Naturapeutic for kids |
| Sensitivity to cold and hot | Sensitive teeth |
The fruit flavours are the ones that win over children and adults who have never liked mint. Cilantro mint divides people exactly as you would expect — it is worth trying once, not worth buying two of unseen.
The deodorant sticks
Five scents plus unscented, in a stick format, aluminum-free and certified organic. Like every natural deodorant, these work on odour rather than on sweat — they are not antiperspirants and are not meant to stop you perspiring.
The unscented one is the one to choose for reactive skin or if you would rather your deodorant did not compete with everything else you wear.
The baby line
Hypoallergenic baby wash, baby lotion and a diaper cream, each available fragrance-free. For newborn skin the fragrance-free versions are the sensible default — lavender is pleasant but there is no reason to introduce a scent to skin that young.
A frank note on availability
Most of this range is between deliveries at the moment, with only a couple of toothpaste flavours in stock. Nothing here has been discontinued — Green Beaver restocks — but if the flavour or scent you want is showing as sold out, it is worth checking back rather than assuming it is gone for good.
