I am looking for something natural for my one year old. The clay has a lead warning, does this toothpaste also have that?

I am 52 and started using bare minerals about a year ago. It does provide a natural looking cover that doesn't look chalky or cakie. It also reduces the appearance of pores. I have large pores and have gotten compliments from my teenage daughter that they aren't noticeable now.Needless to say " I really like Bare minerals!"

From the Earthpaste website: "We love Earthpaste for the same reasons you do - it does a great job with only a handful of natural, beneficial ingredients. So if every ingredient supports good health, why is there a proposition 65 warning label? Proposition 65 is a California law designed to protect consumers when they use products containing harmful materials. Because of the way the law is enforced, California residents are used to seeing warnings where you'd least expect them-at banks, at Disneyland, and now, on perfectly natural products like Earthpaste. The most important ingredient in Earthpaste is Redmond Clay, a healing clay that has been used medicinally since ancient times. Like many natural foods (including peaches and pears) Redmond Clay contains the tiniest amount of naturally-occurring lead. There is a natural products exemption to prop 65 (otherwise organic green beans and carrots would be 20 times over the limit!) but because of the way proposition 65 is enforced, it would be impossible for a small company like ours to withstand the cost of any "false positives" from aggressive prop 65 law firms. Thus the warning stickers on Earthpaste. We hate doing it - we know our products are safe, we've seen them help thousands of people, and we use them ourselves every day - but a proposition 65 lawsuit, even one we would eventually win, would be really hard for a company our size to survive."

I don't recall seeing a warning. I believe it is just porcelain coated. It works great but let us know if there is a lead issue.

The lead in slow cookers comes from the glaze. Many claim that the glazes they use do not contain lead. I do not think that clay contains significant lead if any at all, but I suppose it is possible that clay may contain some trace amounts of natural substances that have some toxic effect. This might include some lead. But again, the concerns about lead with clay based pots is generally with the glazes. I use my pots to make a wide variety of foods, some with a lot of herbs and spices and I have not noticed any flavor carryover into the yogurt. The unglazed clay pots that Vita Clay use are somewhat fragile. I have used them for years and have found that it is best to have more than one pot for each cooker in use. I am a heavy user in both my home kitchen and for a large family I cook for--more than 4 to 6 uses per day. If you have more than one pot, you might want to reserve a pot just for yogurt until you are convinced that you do not have flavor transfer problems with what you cook. It is my opinion that though Vita Clay pots are some what fragile, the cooking results are stellar. TMmany traditional cuisines like Chinese and Indian use unglazed clay.

I would assume so. Any product for babies produced with lead wouldn't sell.

I am not sure if this ceramic have lead, not all ceramic is contaminated with lead, I hope not, but if so, manufacture should advice to consumers. I know for sure the Grecian to tint gray hair for man have lead and the product is still on shelves in stores like HEB, Walmart, etc.

Gail, thanks to you I have checked on line with Arm & Hammer and found that they have another toothpaste that is free of SLS. Go to their website and look for the one that is free of this acid. I just ordered some from Amazon.com and hope that it will prove to be better -- thanks!!

I highly doubt it has lead in it. I know it is pfoa free and cadmium free. We use these pans a lot and love them.

All clays have tiny trace amounts of heavy metals, including lead, in them. The wonderful thing about clay is that the heavy metals in it are bound molecules, which means they are not bioavailable and will not absorb into our bodies. There are National Institutes of Health studies online that tested and proved calcium bentonite clay is a potent heavy metal detoxifying agent. It couldn't do that if it deposited metals in the body. Thanks for asking.

i sure hope not, my kids have been bathing in this tub for the last few years!!!! did you hear that there is lead in the product?

Just a heads-up for parents. Just because a product passes US standards for any chemical does not mean it is free of that chemical. For instance, many children's wooden toys that are painted have some lead in the paint but it is the amount allowed by law. Still, if your child were to eat that paint, he or she would be ingesting lead. I say this hear because I am not sure that this product is truly BPA free. It sounds like it meets the US standards but if it is truly BPA free, then why don't they list that under their product specs here on Amazon? Worth questioning.

No it does not. It is the best toothpaste we've found. It's also not minty tasting - every other natural brand we tried was, and our daughter hated it.

I hope not. I bought it because i read it did not. I think i saw it on the healthy child healthy world website. It gets overwhelming trying to figure what chemicals are in baby products. I suggest asking naturepedic.

It is very mild and free of many ingredients found in other products. None of our three kids ever had a problem but you will have to see for yourself. It is worth a try. Take care.

Per Godinger.com, the crystal on their site has a Prop 65 warning for lead. Contacted them and they state this particular item is LEAD FREE.

Yes, it is bentonite clay and it is the kind that you can consume. It can be used for toothpaste and tooth power recipes as well has a remedy for food poisoning and stomach virus. This is the main ingredient in Earthpaste toothpaste.
