The Risk Of Fluoride
The risk of fluoride to our health is something that everyone needs to understand. Even though fluoride may reduce tooth decay when applied topically, it is toxic to the rest of the body, and is likely to create health problems, especially when ingested. Our approach is to avoid this potentially harmful substance completely, and instead use other active ingredients that are effective at inhibiting the growth of bacteria that causes tooth decay.
The Benefits Of Xylitol
One of the greatest benefits of xylitol is how it interacts with bacteria. The cavity-causing bacteria that live in the mouth feed on fermentable sugars and produce lactic acid. This lactic acid is what eventually causes cavities because it eats through the enamel surfaces of our teeth. Xylitol is a non-fermentable sugar alcohol, which means the cariogenic bacteria cannot process it and therefore cannot produce lactic acid. Xylitol also has a unique anti-adhesive quality, which prohibits bacteria from adhering to cell tissue. This assists in maintaining the natural pH of the mouth, allowing teeth to be re-mineralized, which helps prevent cavities from forming in the first place.

Pure Beginnings Natural Chest Rub 3 + Months 50ml
N$106.80Natural Chest Rub 3 + Months

- Eucalyptus – a very popular decongestant which contains powerful anti-bacterial and antibiotic properties. Used for hundreds of years, it is widely accepted as a natural alternative to treat mild respiratory problems such as a cold, cough or bronchitis.
- Lavender – has soothing and calming properties. It is also considered an effective antiseptic and anti-inflammatory.
- Tea Tree Leaf Oil – anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties, making it an ideal ingredient to help protect against congestion caused by colds and flu.
- Frankincense – has remarkable rejuvenating and healing qualities. With antiseptic, astringent, anti-inflammatory and expectorant properties, it is the ideal cold-fighting essential oil.
Suggested use: Massage a small amount onto the chest, neck and back, especially before bedtime.
Additional information:
Why no menthol for babies?
The menthol praised in most chest rub formulations does not break up mucus in the airways as advertised. The smell of menthol tricks the brain into thinking we are breathing easier, but it does not actually assist in clearing congestion. Inflammation often worsens. Certain ingredients are recognized as irritants to the body, causing the body to produce more mucus to protect its airways. In babies and young children this is especially dangerous, considering their airways are much narrower than those of adults.

What is your skin microbiome?
The skin microbiome is the complex ecosystem of microbes which live on the skin. Advances in technology reveal that there are over a trillion bacteria living on your skin, most of which are in fact beneficial. These beneficial microbes play a critical role in skin health by:
- Improving skin barrier
- Reducing trans-epidermal water loss
- Promoting immunity against infection
It therefore comes as no surprise that current studies show a connection between skin microbial imbalances and several different skin conditions, including eczema. To help prevent such skin conditions from developing, it is advisable to use products that minimise disruption of the skin microbiome – such as the Probiotic Baby Sensitive Cream Wash, followed by the Probiotic Baby Body Cream.
Suggested use: Apply a small amount to wet hair and body. Rinse after washing and towel dry. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water.

Additional information:
Avoiding Petrochemicals:
Petrolatum (better known as petroleum jelly) and mineral oil are both petrochemicals. They have no nutritive benefit to the skin at all. They give a temporary perception of moisture as they sit on the surface of the skin instead of being absorbed. This creates a reliance on using the product because the moment the surface product is gone, the skin feels dehydrated again.
Mineral oil has also been linked to:
- Clogged pores
- Trapping in toxins
- Slowing skin cell growth
- Disrupting normal hormone functioning
- Robbing the body of magnesium and other vitamins

Pure Beginnings Soothing Teething Gel 15ml
N$67.40Soothing Teething Gel
A non-medicated, natural teething remedy, with organic liquorice, marshmallow root extract and chamomile.
The Pure Beginnings Soothing Teething Gel is a natural teething remedy formulated to soothe the pain and help relieve the soreness associated with teething. This non-medicated formula has quickly become a trusted aid for moms looking for a safe, natural alternative to conventional teething gels.
- Liquorice root extract– traditionally used as a numbing agent for teething
- Marshmallow root extract – has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties
- Chamomile – helps with soothing and calming
- Xylitol – helps inhibit the bacteria that cause tooth decay
- Non-medicated formula
- Benzocaine and Clove oil free
- Petroleum and SLS-free
Suggested use: Wash hands before use. Apply a small amount onto your finger and apply gently onto child’s gums. For best results massage into gums. Use as often as needed.
Whilst we recommend the use of the Pure Beginnings Soothing Teething Gel, here are some other tips you can also try to assist with teething discomfort:
- Allow your baby to gnaw or suck on a piece of chilled food like a whole carrot or a long piece of cucumber. The cold eases the pain, and these foods are easy for your baby to hold.
- Feeding your baby cold foods like yoghurt, apple puree and mashed up veggies can also soothe the ache.
- Place a sterilised teething toy in the freezer for your baby to chew on later to help relieve sore gums.
Additional information:
Liquorice and Marshmallow are not flavour ingredients
The key active ingredients in our Pure Beginnings Soothing Teething Gel include liquorice and marshmallow root extracts. Both ingredients have historically demonstrated strong natural anti-inflammatory properties, thereby assisting in reducing swelling, inflammation and the corresponding pain associated with inflamed gums. Liquorice also acts as a mucoprotective agent – in other words it creates a soothing film over the gum, helping to relieve pain and inflammation in the affected area.
