Tom's of Maine: Naturals pioneer launches Clean & Gentle Care and Sensitive Care toothpastes based on discovery that "the natural ingredient glycyrrhizin, from purified licorice root, creates a natural foaming experience for dispersing ingredients in the mouth without the use of sodium lauryl sulfate," which can be an irritant.
