Are all calcium carbonates the same? I would like to use some to make my own chalk paint. Does one brand work better than others?

I purchased the 5 Pound package of Calcium Carbonate by Raw Supply, for $10.47. It will make a lot of chalk paint! Plus, I figure I'll use some of it on the garden too, in the compost pile. I won't use it for health care though, since it isn't labeled "pure" (or w/USP symbol on it), so it could contain traces of lead or other toxic metals. Fine for chalk paint though!

can I use this for making toothpaste?

Yes it will make an excellent toothpaste , here is the formula: for every table spoon of calcium carbonate one table spoon coconut oil one drop oil of peppermint , one drop of oil of spearmint, one tea spoon xylitol or organic honey and add a little water to make it gel like.Not only this formula clean your teeth the best but will naturally disinfect your mouth from bacterium buildup.

How is this vegetarian? Does it contain bonemeal?

The bottle reads that it is a Vegetarian/Vegan product. No other ingredients added.There is no sugar, salt, starch, yeast, wheat gluten, corn, soy, milk, egg, shellfish or preservatives.Hope this helps. I purchased this to make chalk paint because it dissolves so well.

Does this contain lead?

It contains elemental calcium from calcium carbonate and then it says "Other ingredients: None" so I assume no lead. It also says non-GMO.
