Red Seal Complete Care with Flouride: Natural Oral Care Solution

Red Seal: non-SLS toothpastes Complete Guide and Review

From Grants to Red Seal: Looking for SLS-free toothpaste

I had been using Grants Natural Toothpaste Mild Mint (fluoride-free) for a while before switching to Red Seal Herbal Fresh No Fluoride, and I was quite satisfied with the Red Seal product.

At first, I thought Red Seal only offered fluoride-free options, as all I could find at Coles and Woolworths were non-fluoride products. But I later came across a fluoridated version of Red Seal toothpaste at Chemist Warehouse—even on sale! Without trying it first, I ended up buying four tubes.

First Impression of Red Seal: Herbal Fresh No Fluoride

The first Red Seal product I tried had a slightly murky gray colour and a soft, creamy texture. Upon checking the ingredient list, I found it contains bentonite, which likely explains both the colour and the texture.
However, it turns watery very quickly, similar to Grants Mild Mint, which made it hard to keep in my mouth for long. I had to spit it out shortly after starting to brush.
The herbal flavor gave a gentle sense of freshness, although it didn't linger. While it doesn’t lather like SLS-based toothpastes, it still produced a decent amount of foam to leave the mouth feeling clean.

Texture difference between Herbal and Complete Care

Red Seal Complete Care with Fluoride: feeling and texture

Red Seal Complete Care comes in two versions—fluoride and non-fluoride. The fluoride version has a clear, soft gel-like texture with a mild mint flavour.

What I appreciated most was that it is not as watery as the others I tried. It feels more stable, letting me brush at a slower pace without feeling like I have to spit it out quickly.
It creates a good amount of foam and leaves a light, fresh minty aftertaste.

Red Seal Complete Care with Fluoride: Functional ingredients

Because this isn’t a colored makeup item, I can't see any difference in appearance after using these products, but the fluoride version includes zinc oxide and totarol, ingredients known for supporting plaque control and gum health.

It also contains sodium monofluorophosphate (MFP) with 1,000ppm fluoride, making it a good choice for natural cavity protection with antibacterial effects.

Price and value for money

It’s hard to find an SLS-free toothpaste with fluoride, and the ones available are often quite expensive.
The original price for this Red Seal product is around $5.50 for a 100g tube, but I got it on sale at Chemist Warehouse for $3.29. That’s a pretty good deal, especially when compared to other non-SLS options.

If you prefer natural and gentle ingredients, Red Seal is a brand worth exploring. Beyond the two products I’ve discussed, they offer a wide range—including versions for kids, whitening, propolis (for natural antibiotic action), baking soda (for natural whitening), and extra-strong mint flavours depending on your preference.

Final thought: willing to repurchase Red Seal Complete Care

Since switching to SLS-free products, I haven’t experienced the white film that sometimes forms in the mouth after brushing. Also, non-SLS toothpastes don’t leave that dry, heavy coating often caused by chemical preservatives.

Overall, I’m very satisfied with the texture, flavour, and affordability of Red Seal Complete Care with Fluoride. Unlike other non-SLS products I have used, it doesn’t turn watery too quickly, which makes it more comfortable to use.

After finishing the four tubes I bought, I’ll definitely repurchase and continue using it.
