Exclusively imported from Canada, PURE Defense (Pure Health Innovations, stand 3040) will be on show for the first time in Europe.

UK brand leaders Kingfisher Natural Toothpaste (stand 8037) will be showcasing its revised range, which is now produced without SLS.  Commenting on the change, which was prompted by consumers’ feedback about the ingredient, the company’s founder Richard Austin says: “We put no artificial flavourings, colourings, preservatives or sweeteners in our toothpastes.  Feedback has been strongly against SLS, so although we feel it is both safe and effective, we have made the change.  Appearance, price and, thankfully, the taste are unchanged.”
