TOMS of Main

These days when we buy a product we often have to think twice about the impact our purchase will have on animal cruelty and the environment. Fortunately some companies are creating products that are both animal and environmentally friendly. Some such products come form a company called TOMS of Main. Though this company makes a variety of home care products their best know products are the toothpastes that you can find in grocery stores. TOMS became the first company in 1995 to have their natural toothpaste approved by the American Dental Association. This means that TOMS products have been tested to be effective and safe. The product has also been Kosher and Peta certified.

TOMS list all of their ingredients on their product and also why they are included and what the source is. This can be important information for people who are vegetarians or who have religious views that prohibit the consumption of certain animals.

Though some people may be wary that TOMS sold the majority of their stock to Colgate the two companies have seamed to keep true to their words and kept the two companies separate. Most consumers are probably aware that Colgate requires chemical and animal testing and TOMS keeps it’s products all natural and free from animal testing. While some consumers may still be disappointed the bigger picture is that TOMS can now sell more products and have an increased ability to offer conscious consumers a high quality alternative.
