In July I was selected by Ripple Street to test out a small travel size Arm & Hammer toothpaste. I tried the Complete care product.
The toothpaste has fluoride and includes baking soda as a key ingredient.
the product
This was the new version of the toothpaste. As I mentioned it includes fluoride. It is stated to be a smoother formula as well as gentle on teeth. It offers whole mouth care as well. All info was stated on the info card.
I was sent a travel/sample size tube.
You can use it twice a day.

User experience
I’ve tried a few baking soda-based toothpastes in the past. They weren’t too bad but at times they were a bit gritty or had a baking soda aftertaste.
This product has a light mint flavor. It’s smooth and isn’t gritty. It’s a typical white paste.
It’s refreshing when you brush your teeth. I will admit if you use too much toothpaste you may have a basking soda taste in your mouth for a minute.
It wasn’t too harsh on my teeth and did leave my mouth feeling clean. It wasn’t gritty or chalky. It also didn’t leave my mouth feeling dry.
My teeth felt clean without a film.
As far as the whitening effects go this may vary from user to user. it may also vary by how often you use it. I tend to use this at least once a day. Since I have dental work on some of my teeth I don’t always have accurate whitening results.
FINAL THOUGHTS and where to buy
Final thoughts
Overall the product did what it stated it would. It left my teeth feeling clean. My mouth didn’t have a basking soda after taste either. I liked that the small tube would be easy to carry in a bag. Even though it was a small size tube you could get a few uses out of it.
I liked that the product didn’t have a chalky or gritty feel to it. I also liked that the toothpaste didn’t have an overpowering mint flavor.
For me, this fits my needs and didn’t cause any adverse reactions or have a heavy aftertaste.
I also liked that it has fluoride in it.
