Many of you have written in lately to say how much you liked the Masik natural toothpaste we included in a recent package.

We're glad you liked it!

This toothpaste is actually very special. It is made by Masik, a family-run natural cosmetics company based in the Golan Heights. This is one of the territories that the BDS movement is seeking to boycott, so your support is very important to them.

Masik's toothpaste contains no fluoride and is handmade from only natural ingredients. What makes it different from other natural toothpastes is that it contains Israeli Dead Sea salt.

The Dead Sea truly is a hidden treasure tucked away deep in the Judean Desert, offering a myriad of natural health benefits.

Salt has been used for hundreds of years to help prevent tooth decay because of its antibacterial and antifungal properties. Salt from the mineral-rich Dead Sea is particularly high in calcium, magnesium, silicon, phosphorus, sodium, and other minerals that promote good dental health.

Regular use of Dead Sea salt as part of a good dental regime has even been linked to teeth whitening.

The Masik toothpaste also contains honey and essential oils, including lavender, lemongrass, orange and tea tree. These ingredients give it a great flavor and leave your breath smelling wonderfully fresh!

When you use this toothpaste, you can take satisfaction in knowing that not only are you using a product that's great for your teeth, but you're also supporting an extremely worthwhile Israeli business.

We would love to hear from more of you. What were your experiences of using this unique natural toothpaste?
