Summary
Jack N' Jill Strawberry Natural Certified Toothpaste scores 44/100. The formula itself is genuinely clean for kids — fluoride-free, SLS-free, certified organic strawberry flavor, xylitol-sweetened, with calendula extract for soothing gums. But independent third-party lab testing (Lead Safe Mama, Feb 2025, AOAC 2015.01) detected 120 ppb lead and 5 ppb mercury in a children's product designed to be swallowed. Lead crosses the 100 ppb concern threshold for kids' products. Suspected source: silica only (rest of the formula is genuinely clean). Owned by Jack N' Jill. This is a strawberry toothpaste for kids.
