1. Why is toothpaste more and more expensive now?
There are many types of toothpastes on the market today, and the prices vary greatly. The main reason is that many toothpaste products are functional products. In the past, the function of toothpaste was relatively simple, focusing on cleaning. The current toothpaste is affected by brand marketing, import labels, etc., and the price has also doubled.
However, it is not that the more expensive toothpaste is, the better. After all, the main ingredients of most toothpastes are abrasives, and then there are some other additives. Although some toothpastes with different functions have different ingredients, it is not the determining factor of price. , The expensive and cheap toothpaste also has a lot to do with the brand, marketing and so on.

2. Anti-Yu toothpaste "sterilization"
There are also some toothpastes under the banner of anti-Helicobacter pylori sterilization, attracting a large number of consumers to buy.

Don’t buy it immediately after hearing the good propaganda, and it is very likely that you will pay the IQ tax.
