Natural is a word that can be misleading. Companies like to slap the word natural on their products but they are not really as natural as they seem. The ZEBRA™ Black and White brand was born when a mom wanted the best for her son, after the diagnosis of a brain tumor.
The word natural can be so misleading to consumers. We see the word "natural" on a product and expect it to be a safe product with clean ingredients. The problem is we have a system that is designed to trick consumers and we need to what is in the product that we are buying.
One mother believes that her children were victims of dirty products and it took the diagnosis of a brain tumor in her son, to question the ingredients that were in the products that she was buying. Meet the person behind the brand Zebra, makers of toothpaste, deodorant, and more.
Zebra Black And White Personal Care Products
Jenn Thatcher left a successful career as an international artist to found ZEBRA. Jenn believes her children were victims of dirty products and a system that is designed to trick consumers. Her son Jack’s diagnosis of a brain tumor made her even more vigilant at researching every single ingredient in the products her family was using.
She realized that products are really not always as natural as they seem. She decided if she wanted something truly safe, and high-performance she was going to have to create it herself. This is how ZEBRA was born.
ESTABLISHED IN 2023
ZEBRA was founded on the idea that ingredients should be black and white. Nothing tricky, nothing hidden. Consumers should understand the purpose of every ingredient in every product. Ingredients that are safe, non-toxic, and high-performance, from a brand that seeks to empower consumers, and make the best decisions for themselves and their families all while doing good in the world.
EVERYTHING WE MAKE IS DESIGNED TO BE SAFE & EFFECTIVE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY.
Hydroxyapatite-FREE and Fluoride-FREE Toothpaste
One of the products that Zebra sells is toothpaste and it is one that you need to learn about. Zebra Hydroxyapatite-FREE and Fluoride-FREE toothpaste is a safer, non-toxic alternative to traditional toothpaste.
Most people who use natural oral care products know about the dangers of fluoride in toothpaste but it is a newer ingredient Hydroxyapatite, that we need to learn more about. Hydroxyapatite is often touted as a “miracle” ingredient in oral care but it has not been around long enough to know if it is safe to use.
Is Hydroxyapatite safe to use?
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote an article about a new Hydroxyapatite toothpaste that I discovered. I compared this natural toothpaste to fluoride toothpaste. I was excited to learn that the toothpaste with Hydroxyapatite had similar benefits to toothpaste with fluoride in it but was made with natural ingredients.
Since the release of that article, I have discovered that Hydroxyapatite has the potential to disrupt the body’s natural remineralization processes and negatively impact health. Studies have been done with animals on the effects of Hydroxyapatite and since this ingredient is so new, I am questioning whether I should be using this toothpaste.
Zebra offers a Hydroxyapatite-FREE and Fluoride-FREE toothpaste
It was an email from Zebra that had me thinking about my toothpaste. I already knew that fluoride exposure is linked to lower IQ and that Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) can irritate gums. I learned about these toothpaste ingredients when my younger son developed painful mouth sores from toothpaste.
ZEBRA helped me realize that I need to use a simple toothpaste with natural ingredients. So I reached out to them to see if I could get a sample of their Hydroxyapatite-FREE, Fluoride-FREE toothpaste. I needed to inform my readers about a brand that offers a clean alternative for families who refuse to compromise their health for a clean smile.
Zebra's toothpaste is powered by natural ingredients like Xylitol and Calcium Carbonate. This natural ingredient toothpaste is available in two flavors ~ mint and coconut. Head here to see the full ingredient list of the Zebra toothpaste.
Zebra sent me other product samples
Zebra also sent me other products from the Black and White line. From their natural deodorant to their silk dental floss, the black and white boxes with a zebra on them caught my attention. The simple boxes spoke to me and made me want to know more about the ingredients that Zebra uses in their products.
As a person who is healing from mold exposure, allergies, and asthma ~ I seek out products with safe non-toxic ingredients. I know the effects of what chemicals can do to your body. I suffer from asthma attacks when I am exposed to chemical fragrances and I break out in a rash on my when exposed to chemicals in skincare products. Even something as simple as a handshake can cause eczema on my hand.
All of Zebra's products are cruelty-free and never tested on animals. However, their deodorant and floss use beeswax, so they are not technically vegan. Their products are even gluten-free. Their whole product line is safe for the whole family. If you want safer products for your family, then head to Zebra and learn more about their products.
