Summary
Everyone's ditching fluoride for hydroxyapatite. But is it actually safer? 🦷
Jenn Thatcher didn't just go along with the trend — she pushed back. After believing her children were affected by products she trusted, and then facing her son's brain tumor diagnosis, she became relentless about ingredient safety. She's the founder of ZEBRA, a non-toxic personal care brand built on one principle: clean is black and white — no gray area.
