Hayden Panettiere, Chloe Sevigny, Daisy Fuentes are all fans of ELGYDIUM , an oral care line from France that is now available in the U.S.
For years, celebrities and socialites have flocked to France for their fine beauty products, including toothpaste. Elgydium the leading toothpaste in France for more than three decades, has been available in the U.S. on a limited basis, sold only in elite boutique pharmacies where some celebrities are known to buy it by the caseload. In addition, all customers who have flown First Class on British Airways for the past 10 years have received Elgydium products in their sample bags. That’s all about to change, however, as SANTE active, Inc., the U.S. subsidiary of Laboratoires Pierre Fabre, France, will begin distributing Elgydium to the major retail drugstore chains, in addition to independent pharmacies throughout the country.
Originally launched in 1972 as an anti-plaque product, Elgydium toothpaste devotees find the taste and texture far superior to other brands on the market. Elgydium Whitening toothpaste combines those qualities with a ground-breaking, Micro-Pulverized Sodium Bicarbonate that has far greater whitening properties than the traditional Sodium Bicarbonates. Micro-Pulverized Sodium Bicarbonate, which is five times smaller than typical Sodium Bicarbonate, gently polishes teeth for a bright, white smile. It’s gentle enough to use everyday, effective even in the tiniest fissures of enamel for whitening effect and has a very low abrasiveness.
I had the chance to try Elgydium and I can see why it has such a following after a few weeks use I can see a lightening to my teeth. Best of all is the improvement in the sensitivity of my teeth, I usually have a lot of issues with pain due to tooth sensitivity but since I started using Elgydium I have noticed I no longer have any tooth sensitivity.
The flavor is great, a refreshing mint that is not overpowering and leaves your mouth feeling fresh and clean for hours!
Below are some quick facts about the product:
Product line and Suggested Retail Price:
· Elgydium Anti-Cavity - $9
· Elgydium Whitening - $9
· The Creation Toothbrush - $5
· The Whitening Toothbrush - $5
· The Supreme Toothbrush - $5
· The Luminous Toothbrush - $5
· The Elgydium Whitening toothpaste contains micro-pulverized sodium-bicarbonate, which is five times smaller than typical sodium bicarbonate (Baking Soda), allowing it to penetrate even the tiniest fissures of enamel for a whitening effec
The Elgydium Anti-Cavity toothpaste contains a very high-grade fluoride, which has shown in clinical trials to be superior at preventing cavities than most traditional fluoride toothpastes.

Erin was talking earlier about the snow, and she’s so right! I love the snow, but when I have shopping to do - it’s a nuisance more than anything! I took these pictures this morning when I woke up. We’ve gotten a couple more inches since then!
Another thing that’s really annoying is I have 2 presents being shipped to me that I bought online. Last time I checked the packages were stuck in Utah, so it’s likely they won’t make it in time. So annoying! Portland hasn’t seen this much snow sine 1968, so we’re definitely not used to it. I’m not sure how anyone does it every year!
Merry Christmas!

Even better than a great gift is a great product that helps out the millions around the world that are less fortunate. The Lotus Flower scent from Nature’s Gate smells so great and the lotion absorbs quickly without leaving any residue on your hands. Check out Nature’s Gate Lotus Flower gift or their other scents, Pineapple and Vanilla Bean at your local Whole Foods Market.
Even better, they help a good cause - a portion of sales of the gift sets go towards Nature’s Gate’s partnership with WaterAid America- a nonprofit organization that helps underdeveloped countries build sustainable water systems.
What’s cool about the gift sets (body lotion and body wash) is that they’re created around ingredients that are abundant in the countries that Nature’s Gate will be helping through this partnership. For instance, their Vanilla Bean gift set features ingredients from Madagascar and their Lotus Flower gift set features ingredients from India, two countries facing a lack of clean water! Additionally, ALL Nature’s Gate products are free of animal-derived ingredients and are NEVER tested on animals.
The Lotus Flower symbolizes purity, life and enlightenment. In India, over 170 million people don’t have access to safe water, and almost 9% of children die before their 5th birthday, primarily due to water-related diseases.
This gift set features ingredients and scents from India, a country facing a lack of clean water. Nature’s Gate supports WaterAid America to help poor communities in Asia and Africa gain access to sustainable supplies of safe, clean water.
Body Wash: Gently cleanses without stripping skin of essential moisture. Lotus Flower Extract and Indian Gooseberry contain high levels of skin enhancing antioxidants while Organic Mango Butter and Jojoba Oil moisturize and revitalize skin.
Body Lotion: Nourishing and hydrating body lotion features Lotus Flower Extract and Tumeric known to improve skin radiance and tone. Organic Mango Butter and Jojoba Oil moisturize and revitalize skin.
Available at your local natural product stores and Whole Foods Market.
