The ingredient list on Weleda has been updated. It used to just list kaolin clay, which is magnesium aluminum silicate. According to their website, the aluminum is not in an absorbable form. Spit, don't swallow.

Here's the children's list:
Glycerin, Water (Aqua), Silica, Algin, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract, Foeniculum Vulgare (Fennel) Oil, Mentha Viridis (Spearmint) Leaf Oil, Esculin, Limonene*.

Thank you! Sometimes trying to figure all of this stuff out can just get confusing and overwhelming if I don't ask questions. I research and research things before we take on a new suppliment or health regimin. If we have to switch vitamins it takes me days to figure it all out.

As for the ACT. It is absorbed through the gums, so you are ingesting it, even if you don't swallow. We used it for a short time on Thunder's teeth, before we got them capped, to slow the decay. It did work, but we have since stopped and we don't have issues with decay in his mouth now so we stopped the flouride. I'm just not comfy with it.

Doesn't colgate all have flouride in it?
