It has been their family business for more than twenty years:
A few years ago, my wife Rachel and I had our first child and immediately joined many parents the world over who are concerned about the current environmental issues and the direct effects they have on our children. We started to question everything he came into contact with, not wanting to expose him to unnecessary additives and chemicals, and felt frustrated at the lack of choices in early childhood oral hygiene. With my background as a pharmacist, we set out to formulate the absolute safest toothpaste for our kids and yours. In the process, we also made it the most fun & yum! Jack and Jill toothpaste is 100% safe for young children – especially because they have a tendency to swallow it! All Jack and Jill packaging is designed to be appealing to children and is cute enough that parents won't mind them sitting on their bathroom vanity. Alongside the toothpaste we have designed and manufactured the first children’s toothbrushes that are made of cornstarch, and are therefore biodegradable and recyclable. Did we mention 'cute'? At Jack and Jill we believe that businesses have an obligation to the environment, that’s why we have formulated an all natural, hypoallergenic toothpaste with organic ingredients, and designed our packaging to be minimal, recyclable and BPA Free.

Our Thoughts:
Jack N Jill sent me a sleepover bag, the "hippo" toothbrush, and two flavors of toothpaste: banana and blueberry.
I was thrilled to review Jack N Jill Natural Toothpaste because it is fluoride free, and safe to swallow. Now, my son is special needs, so at age 4 I am still brushing his teeth for him. And he doesn't spit it out, so it needs to be safe for him. Here, locally, all the available children's toothpastes have fluoride in them, and I can only find "fluoride free" in adult toothpaste - which, for most of them, I don't feel are safe for my son to swallow. Another plus, Jack N Jill Natural Toothpaste is also triclosan free! In fact, they are BPA free, fluoride free, sugar free, color free, SLS free, and don't have any preservatives! The flavors are certified organic, as is the calendula, for soothing gums.
I gotta say, just opening the toothpaste - they smell fantastic! I didn't personally taste the banana, because while I love bananas, I've never liked "banana flavored" things, and I don't care for dehydrated bananas - but my son liked it! I did taste the blueberry . . . and yeah, I could easily nibble on that, it really does taste good! My son's non verbal, but going by his facial expression, I think he favored the blueberry the most, which is funny, because this kid LOVES his bananas, with blueberries being a close second.
I LOVE that the toothbrush is biodegradable! It's cute, and small to fit in little hands. While I loved this toothbrush, unfortunately my son did not. It's not the fault of the toothbrush by any means - he has oral texture issues and prefers his old toothbrush. He's open to new tastes, but new textures can take awhile for him to accept.
Now, the sleepover bag - that is so adorably cute!!! I LOVE that!! It's perfect for holding the toothbrush and toothpaste on overnight trips. I like that it's cotton, if a wet toothbrush is hastily put away it has a much better chance of drying than in a plastic bag. We'll definitely be using that on our cabin trips for our son!
This gets a definite thumbs up from me! When we run out, I'll be ordering more! Thanks, Jack N Jill, for introducing us to your natural toothpaste!!
