Is Burt's Bees Natural toothpaste with flouride vegan?!
(carrageenan), silica, flavor*, xanthan gum, lecithin, maltodextrin
I understand that they benefit from bees but im wondering if this would be considered 100% vegan even though they use bees in their company. :)
Thank you in advance.
*natural flavor
Answers:
Hi, like you said Burt's Bees title speaks for itself. However, with that aside and looking only at the ingredients provided I'd say the only questionable ingredient is glycerin and I doubt it's of animal origin. I think you should just brush your teeth with whatever toothpaste you have, whether it's 100% vegan or not until you can get to the store. I'd even use it until it's up, but don't purchase from Burt's Bees anymore after this.
Edit: The *natural flavor* is probably not honey as that is sugar and harmful to teeth and I don't think it's beeswax because that has no flavor.
Considering vegan is an opinion, some would consider it vegan (Most), whereas some more hardcore vegan persons would argue that due to the fact that they manipulate bees that it would not be vegan.
