This page contains a list of what we understand to be non-mint toothpastes.
We are aware that some toothpaste is labelled as ‘non-mint’, but does still contain mint alongside the main flavour that is listed. In this situation, mint is not always listed in the ingredients.
Should you have any allergies to mint, we advise contacting the toothpaste manufacturer to clarify before using.
In our list of recommended options, we have included truly non-mint toothpastes that do not contain traces of mint (apart from the high-street recommendation, Colgate Kids Mild Fruit).
We have then included a further list of toothpastes that we have confirmed with manufacturers to be truly non-mint, and a separate list of pastes that contain traces of mint.
You can sign up for email alerts to find out when we discover new non-mint toothpastes and add them to the list
If you have tried a non-mint toothpaste, please leave a comment to let others know how you found it.

Best non-mint toothpaste — our recommendations
These are by no means the only good toothpastes that come without mint flavouring — there are various other options.
But to keep things simple, I have listed several good choices below. I also include other options later on in the article.
The toothpastes that have made it into this list:
- Contain fluoride. If non-fluoride is what you are looking for I have these covered in the list below.
- Do not contain mint or mint trace.
Oranurse Unflavoured toothpaste
Best unflavoured non-mint toothpaste
This toothpaste comes in two different strengths — I would recommend choosing the 1450 for the best level of protection against caries.
Oranurse toothpaste is completely unflavoured and also low foaming. This could be different compared to most other toothpastes you have tried, but is perfect for people looking for a toothpaste that has no flavour at all.
This toothpaste has also been approved as Autism friendly.
Pros
- Truly mint free
- SLS free – also non foaming.
- Vegan.
- Two different fluoride levels available.
- Suitable for a wide range of medical conditions.
Cons
- May be difficult to get hold of

Kingfisher Fennel Toothpaste (With Fluoride)
Best flavoured toothpaste (option 1)
Kingfisher make a number of non mint toothpastes, but this fennel flavoured one is the only one containing fluoride.
When I tried this toothpaste is is a savoury spicy flavour, similar to liquorice. This strong flavour won’t be to everyone’s taste, and it leaves an after taste too. It is a toothpaste that adults may like, but children are unlikely to enjoy it.
Kingfisher is a British brand, making natural toothpastes in the UK. It is stocked globally in most health food shops and natural health clinics, as well as being available online. The brand has been awarded Ethical Consumer Best Buy Awards, although it does contain palm oil.
Whilst this paste currently comes in a non-recyclable tube, Kingfisher is in the process of swapping to new HDPE recyclable tubes from June 2022. Older stock may still come in non-recyclable tubes though, so check the packaging
Pros
- Truly non-mint
- Approved by Oral Health Foundation
- Vegan
- Cruelty free
- Contains fluoride
Cons
- Strong flavour may not be to everyone’s liking
- Might not be available in supermarkets

- Approx. £3 per tube

Hello Unicorn Sparkle Kids Fluoride Toothpaste
Best flavoured toothpaste (option 2)
Hello toothpastes come in a variety of flavours. This bubblegum flavour is a clear gel with a glittery appearance. Whilst it is aimed at encouraging kids to brush, but there’s no reason why adults can’t use it too.
I tried this toothpaste — it has a gentle flavour, and definitely tastes like “bubble gum”. It leaves a mild after taste which doesn’t last long. There is no foaming when brushing, which is a bonus for people with sensory disorders.
As a company, Hello call themselves “naturally friendly”, although there are many of the usual toothpaste ingredients to help ensure it is effective. The toothpaste itself is made in the USA.
Outer packaging, such as the box is recycling, but the Hello toothpaste tubes are currently not recyclable, although they do have a partnership with Terracycle.
Pros
- Truly mint free
- Contains fluoride 1450ppm
- American Dental Association Seal of Acceptance
Cons
- Non-recyclable tube
Eco living toothpaste tablets
Best eco-friendly / zero waste option
Eco living is an eco-friendly home and personal care brand. These toothpaste tablets are available in orange or raspberry flavours, and are made in the UK.
These are a perfect toothpaste option if you want a non mint flavoured environmentally friendly option as they come in plastic free packaging — either in a tin or in a compostable bag.
Whilst the texture of toothpaste tablets can take some getting used to, these reminded me or eating sherbert. Just crunch down and they mix with saliva to produce a toothpaste which has only a small amount of foaming.
These can be bought online or in many zero waste shops.
Pros
- Contain fluoride 1450ppm
- Truly mint free
- Eco-friendly option
Cons
- Different texture to traditional toothpaste

- 62 tablets in a tin
- £3.50 per tin

GC Tooth Mousse
Best remineralising non-mint toothpaste
GC make lots of different dental products and materials. Tooth Mousse is one of those available to the general public, however leaflets and GC recommend you should talk to a dental professional before using this product.
It is designed to be used in addition to regular toothpaste to help manage sensitivity. Ideally you brush with toothpaste and then apply the crème with your finger and an interdental brush to get between the teeth.
Do read the instructions that come with this dental crème as it is not the same as using a regular toothpaste.
I tried the vanilla flavour. The flavour was sweet and mild and did not last after spitting out the excess. It is a solid white crème which is non foaming.
Tooth Mousse is fluoride free, but contains a specialist ingredient called Recaladent. This CCP-ACP is a way to get calcium and phosphate to the tooth which will prevent tooth decay. It also helps prevent tooth sensitivity.
There are a number of different flavour options, including vanilla, melon and tutti frutti.
When I contacted GC they advised they do not add mint to these products, but cannot exclude cross contamination.
Pros
- Remineralisation without fluoride
- Non mint flavours
- Helps manage sensitivity
Cons
- Expensive
- Only available in certain places online
- Unsuitable if you have a milk allergy
Where to buy
Price comparison
- 35ml tube
- Approx. £15 / tube

GC MI Paste Plus
Best non-mint toothpaste for sensitive teeth
This is another product for the general public which is made by the dental brand GC.
GC MI Paste Plus helps to manage sensitivity using its specialist ingredient, Recaldent. It also contains fluoride to help with remineralisation.
Although the fluoride is a lower concentration than is normally recommended, it is less of a concern due to the CCP-ACP also having a protective effect.
If you are particularly concerned about the fluoride content, you could use this in addition to regular fluoride containing toothpaste.
There are a number of different flavour options, including vanilla, melon and tutti frutti. When I contacted GC they advised they do not add mint to these products, but cannot exclude cross contamination.
Pros
- Remineralisation without fluoride
- Non mint flavours
- Helps manage sensitivity
Cons
- Expensive
- Only available in certain places online

Colgate Kids Mild Fruit Toothpaste (contains mint oils)
Best non-mint toothpaste available on the high street
Colgate is one of the most widely known oral care brands, which is why I have included it as one of the best non mint toothpastes.
The kids mild fruit flavoured toothpaste doesn’t taste of mint, but do be aware it does contain mint oils. This is a good option if you just don’t like the taste of mint, and want something which can be easily bought in a shop instead of online shopping.
This is a clear gel, and doesn’t foam when brushing. It has a mild fruity flavour (and doesn’t taste of any particular fruit like berry or citrus) which doesn’t linger after spitting the paste out.
Pros
- Non mint flavour
- Contains fluoride 1450ppm
- Available in shops
Cons
- Contains mint oils
Find out about new non-mint toothpastes
We’re constantly on the look out for new toothpastes to try and add to our lists.
If we find one that we think is worth sharing, we’ll send you an email alert to let you know.
You can expect to hear from us a few times a year — it’s not everyday a new non-mint toothpaste comes to market!
Buyer’s Guide
Why go for a non-mint toothpaste?
There are a number of reasons that make non mint flavoured toothpaste preferable to some people:
- Personal preference — some simply don’t like the taste of mint. In particular, adults and children with learning disabilities can prefer a more bland tasting toothpaste.
- Mint may cause a burning sensation in the mouth.
- Certain oral conditions may make mint toothpaste uncomfortable in the mouth, for example:
- Oral Lichen Planus sufferers.
- Head and neck cancer patients after radiotherapy.
- Burning mouth syndrome.
- Sjögrens syndrome
- Behcets disease
- Allergies or intolerance to mint.
In addition to these reasons, there is some debate about whether you should avoid mint if receiving homeopathic medicines. Whilst the advice seems to be that you don’t need to avoid mint during homeopathic treatment, it is your choice – and hopefully this list of non-mint toothpaste will help you.
Some toothpastes do not list mint in their ingredients
Non-mint flavoured toothpastes may still contain mint, even though it isn’t listed on the packaging.
So while a toothpaste could have a non-mint flavour, it may still contain mint.
This means it’s important to double check with the manufacturer if you are allergic to mint.
One example is toothpaste from Colgate. Previously we had listed some on this page as being non-mint, but have since discovered that they do contain mint. We contacted Colgate about this to double check, this was its response:
We do not currently have a mint-free toothpaste in our range. The flavours we use in our toothpaste products are made up of both natural and manmade ingredients, of which mint may be a component. We understand that this is information consumers like you want to see on the packaging so please be assured that your feedback will be passed onto the relevant team.
Can adults use kids’ non-mint toothpastes?
Generally speaking, kids’ toothpastes are more likely to be fruit flavoured than an adult toothpaste. But it doesn’t matter whether it is marketed at children or adults, as long as it has the correct amount of fluoride in it.
Children’s toothpastes may contain lower concentrations of fluoride, especially if they are targeted at children under 6 years old. Over this, they may well have the same concentration of fluoride as an adult toothpaste.
The take home message here is that as long as the toothpaste contains at least 1350ppm fluoride you will get a good level of protection, regardless of whether the flavoured toothpaste is marketed at children or adults.
Fluoride-free non-mint toothpastes
Fluoride is a vital ingredient to toothpaste, and only toothpastes which contain fluoride will normally be recommended by dentists.
To still get the anti-cavity benefits of your mint free toothpaste, make sure it still has fluoride in its list of ingredients.
The recommendations in my more general best toothpaste article all contain fluoride.
As a dentist, I don’t normally recommend fluoride free toothpaste, as you miss out on the known anti-cavity properties of fluoride, but I do respect that some people may still wish to avoid toothpastes containing fluoride.
In which case, there are two main options available to you:
- A non-mint fluoride free toothpaste that contains no fluoride and no major source of remineralising agent. Whilst ingredients like xylitol have a small anti-cavity effect, it would not be enough to be remineralising in the same way as fluoride.
- A non-mint fluoride free toothpaste that contains no fluoride and which does contain an alternative remineralising agent. Calcium phosphates (such as hydroxyapatite) help re-harden the tooth surface in a similar way to fluoride. These ingredients are newer than fluoride and are still undergoing long term studies, but are showing a lot of promise. They are normally more expensive than fluoride, but there is lots of evidence supporting their effectiveness.
I’ve rounded up a whole list of non-mint toothpastes below, and you can see which ones don’t contain fluoride below. Some popular options include:
- Kingfisher toothpastes – which have a variety of different flavours. They are available from:
- GC Tooth Mousse – this has an alternative remineralising ingredient, is great for sensitivity, and has a wide range of flavours. It is available from:
Full list of truly mint-free toothpastes
In case the toothpastes in the lists above don’t fit your needs, I’ve included some more options below.
I reached out to the manufacturers of the toothpastes below to confirm that they do not have mint oils or aromas.
However, if it’s critical for you to avoid mint, I advise you still check the packaging & consult with the manufacturer.
As a dentist I do recommend choosing a toothpaste with fluoride in it, but have included some non-fluoride options below.
The recommendations in the table below cover various countries. As such, some may be harder than others to source depending on your location.
Please note: In October 2023 we removed Green Beaver Zesty Orange from the table below because it does contain mint.

Hey, any chance to also add if any of the above toothpastes also contain or not SLS?
I got the Tom’s of Maine Cinnamon and Clove one and didn’t realize it has SLS until I got it, it cleans well but there’s a strange feeling in my mouth afterwards and I am pretty sure it is the SLS.
It seems to be nearly impossible finding a toothpaste that is not only mint free, but also SLS free but that does have fluoride.
Hi Maya.
Thanks for the suggestion/request. We will consider it for future updates.
The Humble Co Toothpaste in a Jar Kids Strawberry with Fluoride option that you listed as having “no reason that adults can’t use it too” states in its ingredients that it has 1000ppm of fluoride, which you later say should be at least 1350…
Hi Alex,
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. The recommended amount of fluoride in toothpaste for adults is 1350-1500ppm fluoride. So yes, the 1000ppm is not ideal. I have adjusted the text to point this out. I will soon also be updating the recommendations for non-mint toothpastes as the market is constantly changing.
Gemma
Hi Gemma,
Thanks for clarifying, and for writing the article too!
Alex
Thank you for this list thanks to a mint allergy my teeth have been severely neglected my whole life, and this could be a life safer.
Is there any chance of some contact details? I’ve seen dentists and none of them understand or conveniently forget while treating me.
The last time I went was for root canal treatment and they used some numbing agent with mint oil and once i got home and my anesthetic wore off my mouth was on fire and itchy, and I had a killer sore throat for a week resulting in lost work. So I won’t go back and I’m stuck with a temporary filling and a broken tooth.
The allergy is a nightmare due to dentistry for some reason revolving around mint assuming it’s ok for everyone, and I’m starting to get desperate ad my teeth are starting to get bad again – and I’m desperate to find a dentist who listens, doesn’t just hear.
Sorry to read about your experience. There are many dentists around the country that do listen and will be able to help you.
Our dental professionals operate in different parts of the country but the logistics of visiting them in their own practice isn’t always feasible for a variety of reasons.
Have you specifically contacted any dentists local to you to discuss the situation and see how they can help?
Kingfisher has a fennel flavour (non-mint) toothpaste that contains flouride – they have the same flavour without flouride too. Flouride one is in red packaging and non-flouride is purple if I remember correctly.
