We received this Xlear Care Kit for free from the sponsor of Moms Meet Program  Opinions are  100% my own. If I get a chance to review all-natural health-enhancing products I do Our families goal was to be more natural and sustainable this year. Using the products in this kit are helping us achieve that.

 

 

 

 Xylitol has a wide variety of uses and benefits, from improving oral health to maintaining upper respiratory and sinus health. The Xlear Care Kit is equipped with everything you need to naturally care for your oral and sinus health, including Xlear Nasal Spray- my kids have both needed to use this and have felt it's the best mist they ever used. There is Spry Toothpaste- Xylitol is in the toothpaste it  increases mineral absorption into the enamel of the teeth, resulting in greater protection with a clean, fresh feeling that really lasts!! The kit also has Spry Oral Rinse, Spry Gum, and Spry Gems...my family was loving the full flavors of the gems and I wouldn't share the gum I liked it so much =)
