a fresh take on plastic free july: from mindfulness to zero waste toothpaste
More than just a pledge to reduce plastic waste for a month, Plastic Free July is one of the biggest environmental movements of our time. Rebecca Prince-Ruiz (founder of the Plastic Free Foundation) and a small team in Australia started Plastic Free July in 2011, and in just over a decade, it has grown from a simple inspiring initiative to a full-blown global movement.While a 100% plastic-free month might sound daunting, the core purpose of Plastic Free July is to increase awareness around plastic consumption and empower you to make simple swaps you can continue for months and years to come. Trust us, once you start making these mindful swaps (like switching from conventional toothpaste to our zero waste toothpaste), they can quickly become second nature. To spark some inspiration, let’s start by unwrapping some of the extraordinary positive impacts of Plastic Free July. the incredible impacts of Plastic Free July In just five years, Plastic Free July participants have saved 1.4 billion kgs of plastic and a whopping 10 billion kgs of total waste. In 2023 alone… 89 million people in over 190 countries participated in Plastic Free July. In their households, participants avoided: 900 million kg of non-recoverable waste. 700 million kg of recyclable waste. 240 million kg of plastic waste. The movement reached 29% of consumers. 87% of challenge participants maintained at least one lasting change. The top six participating countries included China, India, the US, South Korea, Italy, and Brazil. Let’s keep it up this year! You can take the challenge and explore resources to get you started on your journey. We’re sharing some of our top tips below! our top tips to get you started As the ancient proverb goes, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” master mindfulness. Whether you’re mindful of it or not, you’re going to encounter plastics every single day…probably everywhere you go! By taking your brain out of autopilot and shifting into mindfulness, you can start to take note of all the unnecessary plastics in your life. We encourage you to pause, take a deep breath, and scan your body and your surroundings throughout your day. You might be surprised how much this helps with your Plastic Free July journey! start small. Before Plastic Free July rolls around, try to take inventory of some single-use plastic products you run into daily/weekly. Maybe it’s plastic produce bags at the grocery store or the lid on your take-out coffee cup. Start there! keep a list. Identify plastic products room by room in your home/workplace. In the bathroom, you might find items like shampoo and conditioner bottles, plastic toothpaste tubes, or deodorant. In your kitchen, think of things like cleaning products, dish soap, and paper towels (which usually come packaged in plastic). Keep a list of these, so that when you run out of your current items, you can replace them with plastic-free alternatives even after Plastic Free July! ask for (or bring) alternatives when you go out. Dining out is a huge culprit when it comes to single-use plastic waste. When getting started on Plastic Free July, be prepared for common plastics when you go out: skip the straw, bring your own cutlery, ask for paper to-go boxes, and skip the plastic bag. This is a great way to make an impact and spread the word to your friends (and restaurant staff) throughout Plastic Free July! Check out the Getting Started page on the Plastic Free July website to explore their tips for avoiding plastic produce bags, coffee cups, plastic bags, meat packaging, and so much more. simple plastic-free swaps from Davids More and more people are catching on to the fact that the conventional oral care world has some pretty dirty plastic secrets, and we’re so proud to bring you premium plastic-free products that challenge the status quo. Here are a few of our favorite Davids oral care swaps to kickstart your Plastic Free July. refillable floss: if we assume that every person in the US purchases three floss containers per year, that’s over 700 million plastic containers thrown away annually in the US alone. Note that this is only an estimate, as many people don’t floss (which is a tragedy in itself). Our refillable floss solves this plastic waste problem…you never have to throw it away! Simply grab a refill to put in your existing container, so you can easily start reducing this shocking 700 million number. zero waste toothpaste: you’ve probably heard us say this before, but it’s estimated that close to one billion plastic toothpaste tubes make their way into landfills and pollute natural ecosystems every year in the US. Our zero waste toothpaste comes packaged in an infinitely recyclable aluminum tube, so you can avoid contributing to this pile of tubes. Not to mention, you can enter the following message on Line 2 of your address field at checkout to truly make it a zero waste toothpaste! ***REMOVE TUBE KEY/CAP/BOX*** bamboo toothbrush: just like toothpaste tubes, Americans throw away over one billion plastic toothbrushes per year. You can avoid contributing to this issue by swapping to a bamboo toothbrush, which can decompose in as little as a few weeks when you send it to a commercial composter in your area. Not to mention, bamboo is naturally antibacterial, and bamboo is one of the fastest-growing plants in the world. It’s the perfect material for a household item that must be replaced every three months! stainless steel tongue scraper: some tongue scrapers out there are made with plastic grips (or made completely out of plastic). Our stainless steel tongue scraper is exactly that…100% stainless steel. It’s durable, effective, easy to use (preferred by dental professionals), and dishwasher safe, so you can use it safely for the rest of your life. Consider it the perfect addition to your long-term, plastic-free oral care routine! The best part? These simple swaps can easily lead to long-lasting changes, nurturing your health and the health of the planet far beyond Plastic Free July! Buy Your Premium Toothpaste Now.

how to keep your smile merry and bright this holiday season with our travel size toothpaste
The most wonderful time of the year is right around the corner, and we want to make sure you have all the tools you need to keep your smile as merry and bright as the festivities around you. With so many decorations to be hung, travel plans to secure, and gift lists to check off, it’s easy to feel immediately overwhelmed by this season that’s supposed to be fun and joyous! That’s why we’re taking all the necessary steps to make sure you’re taking care of yourself this holiday season with a healthy and holistic oral care routine. Our travel size toothpaste is one of the best tricks to have up your sleeve to ensure your mouth is fresh, healthy, and sparkling this holiday season. So you can look and feel your best no matter where it takes you. there’s no place like roam(ing) for the holidays While many say there’s no place like home, a study found that ahead of the 2022 holiday season, nearly 47% of Americans planned to travel, despite unique holiday barriers such as flight cancellations, overcrowded airports, and increased travel prices. And it’s no secret that travel makes it more difficult to stay on top of your oral care routine. Not to mention, the holiday season is also famous for sweet treats, celebrations, and special indulgences, all of which can do some damage to your teeth....even if it’s just for a short period of time. So, whether you’re traveling to see family or escaping to a remote island destination, we want to help you to feel like your happiest and brightest self. This means nurturing your mouth, avoiding the sensitivity (and other damage) that can come with holiday indulgences, and keeping your oral care on point even in the middle of a busy holiday season. Don’t worry, our travel size toothpaste is the perfect little product to help with just that. maintain optimal oral health with Davids travel size toothpaste Our travel size toothpaste was made to be your go-to sidekick for busy seasons of travel. It falls within TSA requirements, yet it still contains all of the amazing benefits of our coveted premium toothpaste! Available in our peppermint, charcoal peppermint, and hydroxyapatite formulas, our travel size toothpaste contains premium ingredients, avoids harmful or questionable ingredients such as fluoride and SLS, and works wonders for your long-term oral and overall health. Be sure to stock up on these mini superheroes ahead of the busy holiday travel season! Here are some additional pro tips to make sure you’re staying on top of your oral care throughout the holiday season. hydrate, hydrate, hydrate: we may sound like a broken record, but water is so important for all aspects of your health, including your oral health! Water helps flush away bad bacteria, reduce dry mouth, and restore your mouth to a health pH level. If you’re looking for a refreshing change from plain old water, we recommend reaching for an unsweetened green tea, which contains antibacterial and antioxidant properties that can help tame bad breath throughout your travels. snack smart: instead of opting for proceed, sugary foods that are often offered at rest stops and airports, reach for smart snacks that hydrate your mouth and “exfoliate” your teeth (yes, that’s a thing). Fresh fruits and veggies such as apples, pears, melons, berries, cucumbers, celery, and carrots have a healthy water content and work to exfoliate your teeth as you chew. Other snacks like yogurt are gut-friendly, probiotic-rich and high in protein to keep you satiated and balanced. freshen up: in addition to our travel size toothpaste, consider packing an herbal breath spray or natural, plant-based gum. Be sure to keep these items within reach at all times throughout your travels! Also, don’t forget to keep your oral care items in one place, so you can keep them close and avoid any unnecessary contamination that comes with shuffling items around. We recommend a reusable cosmetic bag that’s easy to clean and disinfect between your trips! dashing through the trash You know us....we simply couldn’t talk about holiday travel and oral care without mentioning waste.Did you know that the average American’s waste production increases from 25-42% during the holiday season? That’s one huge reason it’s so important to reduce unnecessary waste wherever and whenever you can this holiday season. Although this waste increase isn’t caused by the oral care industry (it’s more of a product of gifting, food waste, and festive decoration waste), our daily habits still play a huge role in our waste generation, and oral care is a repeat single-use-waste offender. If you’re not already doing your best to remove plastic from your self-care routine, we invite you to do so in the spirit of the holiday season! give a gift to the planet Tis the season to honor the planet! Our full line of holistic, natural oral care products are made of (and packaged in) planet-friendly materials. From our intentional ingredients to our sustainable packaging (have you seen our recyclable toothpaste tube?), every detail has been optimized to honor your oral health and the health of the planet. One of the easiest ways to give a gift to the planet (and yourself!) this holiday season is to replace your conventional products with our zero waste toothpaste, bamboo toothbrush, infinitely reusable tongue scraper, and travel size toothpaste this holiday season and beyond. Pro tip: you can purchase our hydroxyapatite toothpaste, bamboo toothbrush, and tongue scraper together (for less) in our essentials bundle.

kick start your plastic free july with our top tips and zero waste toothpaste
At Davids, we're all about sustaining nature+you. That’s why we prioritize zero waste toothpaste formulas, sustainable packaging, and intentional processes that keep plastic waste to an absolute minimum. In honor of Plastic Free July, we're highlighting some of our favorite ways to be part of the solution in the fight against plastic pollution. Are you up for the challenge? what is Plastic Free July? Plastic Free July is one of the largest, most impactful environmental movements in the world. Since its founding in 2011 by Rebecca Prince-Ruiz and a small local government team in Western Australia, Plastic Free July has reached millions of people all over the world....and made a huge impact in the fight against plastic pollution along the way. It’s estimated that Plastic Free July have participants have: Reduced annual household waste by 3.5% per person Saved 2 billion tons of waste, including over 650 million pounds of plastic (over the years) Integrated their new low-waste habits into their lives beyond July 11 years later, the initiative has reduced the global demand for plastics, including lowering the use of plastic water bottles by 2.3%, fruit + vegetable packaging by 3.1%, and plastic straws by 4%. This measurable progress is proof that there’s power in numbers, and even just a month-long collective effort to reduce our plastic consumption can go a long way. how can you be part of the solution? Plastic Free July outlines attainable goals and ideas to help you reduce your plastic consumption so that your efforts in July can easily transform into real lifestyle habits. Check out this link to see some of their ideas....from bringing your own reusable coffee cup to getting crafty with your trash bag liners. In addition to their tips, we’re sharing some of our favorite ways to participate in Plastic Free July while keeping the bigger picture in mind. practice mindfulness We live in a world surrounded by plastics. From meats sealed in plastic packaging to plastic toothbrushes, we come in contact with so many plastics that we may not even realize because we’re just so used to them. The daily grind of life often forces us into this place of living on “autopilot,” where we go through the motions of our day not thinking twice about what we’re doing or why we’re doing it. This is where mindfulness comes in: it’s an amazing practice that directly challenges this “autopilot” mode of moving through life. Mindfulness is a conscious, intentional practice centered around grounding you in the present moment. In other words, mindfulness invoices you to pause, take a deep breath, come into your body, and take the time to truly exist and absorb the present moment. By doing this, you become more aware of your actions, challenging “autopilot” mode so you can make more conscious decisions. Think of your morning routine as an example. Maybe you wake up, brush your teeth, do your skincare routine, and make your bed. You’re so used to moving through the motions of your routine that you may not stop to think about how many products in that routine (your toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, face wash, moisturizer, etc.) come in plastic bottles. By practicing mindfulness, you can really make a mental note of each action. For example: How does your toothbrush feel moving against your teeth and gums? Do you know what the bristles are made of and how they’re made? How does the toothpaste tube feel when you squeeze it? Is it made from plastic, or is it a recyclable toothpaste tube? How does your face wash feel when you lather it on your skin? When you press the pump? Is the pump plastic? And so on. Practicing mindfulness throughout your day can help you take inventory of just how much plastic you’re interacting with on a daily basis....which brings us to our next tip for Plastic Free July. take inventory + identify easy swaps As you move through your day, it can be helpful to take inventory of plastics. One easy way to do this is to take inventory by room. How many plastics are you coming into contact with in the bathroom, the kitchen, your bedroom, your office (home or public), or the coffee shop? Think of all the places you go most days, and this will help you begin to estimate how many plastics you’re encountering through your regular routine. Below, we’ve outlined a few common “easy swaps” to get you started on this activity. Bedroom + Bathroom conventional deodorant → deodorant that comes in paper packaging conventional shampoo & conditioner → plastic free shampoo & conditioner bars plastic toothpaste tube → Davids recyclable toothpaste tube toothpaste tubes with plastic caps → Davids zero waste toothpaste option (explained below) plastic toothbrush → Davids premium soft bamboo toothbrush Kitchen plastic resealable bags → Stasher bags or glass containers plastic water bottle → reusable stainless steel or glass bottles plastic trash bags → paper bags Office hand lotion in plastics → lotion that comes in a glass jar virgin plastic pens → pens made from recycled plastic See what others you can identify throughout your day! register for the Plastic Free July challenge When you officially register for the Plastic Free July challenge, you’ll receive tips and tricks to keep you motivated throughout the month. It can also help you truly feel like a part of the larger global movement to stray away from plastics. Community support is always important when it comes to taking on a new challenge! what we’re doing at Davids From day one, we’ve always been focused on reducing our plastic waste (and overall environmental footprint) throughout our entire supply chain at Davids. From domestic sourcing and production (which helps us minimize our shipping waste and emissions) to bottling (or should we say tubing?) our zero waste toothpaste in aluminum, we always prioritize plastic-free processes. recyclable toothpaste tube: our recyclable toothpaste tubes are made from aluminum, one of the most infinitely recyclable materials on the planet! Did you know that of all the aluminum ever produced in the US, nearly 75% is still in circulation? By switching to Davids, you can avoid contributing to the 1.5 billion plastic toothpaste tubes that make their way to landfills every single year. zero waste toothpaste: when checking out on our website, you can enter ***REMOVE CAP*** on the second line of the address field to have a completely plastic free toothpaste option. sustainable toothpaste packaging: our toothpaste is always delivered in FSC-certified sustainable packaging, meaning the paperboard comes from responsibly managed forests and does not contribute to deforestation. Not to mention, it’s not plastic! bamboo toothbrush: to avoid contributing to the 1 billion plastic toothbrushes that end up in landfills every year, make the switch to our premium bamboo toothbrush. The bamboo handle is 100% compostable and the bristles are soft, high-performance, and BPA-free. stainless steel tongue scraper: to effectively clean your tongue and reduce the need for a mouthwash that comes packaged in plastic, we recommend adding a medical-grade stainless steel tongue scraper to your routine. It can help you prevent bad breath, reduce bacteria, and improve your overall oral health without any plastic in sight! We hope our line of premium, natural, and plastic-free oral care products gives you a daily dose of inspiration to minimize plastic throughout your life, one swap at a time. Happy Plastic Free July! buy now.

our top five tips for taking care of your teeth and the planet while traveling
Traveling can be exciting and enlightening, but it can also be hard on your body (even your teeth). When journeying to a new destination, you can typically expect to be thrown out of your routine. Whether you’re traveling by plane, train, or car, you’re limited in terms of what self-care items you can bring along with you...as well as what amenities you have access to throughout your trip. Sure, there are all kinds of travel-sized products out there that you can bring along with you. But are they the best option when it comes to caring for your teeth and the planet? To help answer this question, we’re sharing some of our top tips for taking care of your teeth and the planet next time you travel. From sharing advice to spotlighting our sustainable travel size toothpaste and essentials bundle, we want to help you feel prepared for your next trip, in a way that sustains nature+you. 1: check in on your last check up First things first: when was the last time you went to the dentist? Before you travel, it’s always a good idea to check in with your dentist to make sure you don’t have any serious issues lurking in the background. The last thing you need to worry about as you leave home (aka, the place where your regular dentist exists!) is emergency dental treatment. Once you get a clean bill of health from your dentist, you can travel with peace of mind knowing your pearly whites are in the clear. 2: grab your Davids travel essentials Now that you’ve checked in with your dentist and begun packing for your trip, one of the best things you can do to sustain nature+you is to stock up on our travel size toothpaste. For our friends with sensitive teeth, we recommend our travel size nano-hydroxyapatite toothpaste. Why is this one of the best ways to care for your teeth + the planet as you travel? it remineralizes your teeth: with every brushing, our hydroxyapatite toothpaste delivers a nourishing dose of n-Ha particles, which penetrate your enamel to fortify it from the inside out. These nanoparticles plug tiny holes and imperfections in your enamel to protect your tooth’s center nerve from outside attacks (cold food/drinks, bacteria, and more). it prevents dry mouth: let’s face it, for many reasons, it can be way harder to avoid dehydration and dry mouth when you’re traveling. When your mouth is dry, it gives bacteria the upper hand, allowing them to do more damage. To combat this, our travel size toothpaste is formulated with intentional ingredients like xylitol, premium peppermint oils, and vegetable glycerin to stimulate saliva production and moisten your mouth. it’s a zero waste toothpaste: unlike most (if not all) conventional travel size toothpaste out there, our toothpaste comes in a recyclable toothpaste tube. That’s right! Instead of plastic, we package our paste in aluminum, an infinitely recyclable material. Trust us, you won’t find many other travel size self-care products that also work to minimize plastic waste! 3: keep everything clean In addition to our travel size toothpaste, the Davids Essentials Bundle can add even more benefits to your travel routine. Along with our hydroxyapatite toothpaste, the bundle includes our tongue scraper and bamboo toothbrush. When traveling, it can be hard to keep your oral care products on you while also keeping them clean. Keeping these products clean is crucial since you don’t want to introduce new sources of bacteria to your mouth while you travel! You can start by disinfecting the toiletry bag that will be holding the products and washing your tongue scraper with soap after every use. But when it comes to keeping your toothbrush clean as you travel, things can get a little tricky. We recommend keeping it in a clean reusable bag or opting for a brand new bamboo toothbrush. While it’s not ideal to think of a bamboo toothbrush as a “single-use” item, you can find peace knowing it’s biodegradable and compostable. Unlike its plastic counterparts, a bamboo toothbrush can decompose in an industrial compost bin in a matter of weeks. 4: stay hydrated To circle back to the topic of dry mouth, staying hydrated is key when it comes to caring for your teeth while traveling. It’s one of the best ways to ensure your mouth has what it needs to produce an adequate supply of saliva while flushing out lingering debris, bacteria, and residue. To make sure you’re sustaining nature+you, we recommend bringing along a reusable water bottle to refill at rest stops and airports along the way. This way, you can keep up with your water intake without contributing to the billions of plastic water bottles used across the globe each year. 5: bring your own satiating snacks Believe it or not, your snacking habits can play a massive role in your oral health (and your volume of waste) while you travel. Carb-heavy snacks, ranging from potato chips to sugary candy, are the main foods that feed bacteria. When these bacteria feed off sugar deposits, they generate acids that can cause bad breath, sensitivity, gum disease, tooth decay, and beyond. Not to mention, it’s estimated that large airports can generate up to 32,000 tons of waste per year. The snacks and drinks that come in single-use plastic packaging contribute heavily to this number, which is another reason we recommend bringing your own mouth-healthy, sustainable, and satiating snacks along with you the next time you travel. Some of our favorite mouth-healthy snacks include vitamin-D-rich products such as cheese, fibrous fruits and vegetables, healthy nuts and seeds, and lean proteins such as seafood, tofu, and beans. You might be surprised to find that most airports allow you to bring prepped food through security, so be sure to check your local airport’s rules before you head out. travel with care With summer in full swing, we hope you have some fun, relaxing adventures planned! To prepare for your travel days, be sure to check out all of our travel size toothpaste flavors. With our charcoal, peppermint, and hydroxyapatite toothpastes as travel options, stock up to ensure your next travel day sustains nature+you. buy now.

why you should add a bamboo toothbrush into your oral care routine
As a brand that’s committed to creating products that sustain nature+you, we’re so excited to add bamboo toothbrushes to our product lineup. Not only are bamboo toothbrushes the perfect complement to our natural toothpaste, they offer many benefits for your oral health....and the health of the planet. Read along to discover these amazing benefits as well as some tips and tricks to properly dispose of your bamboo toothbrushes to ensure they decompose quickly and effectively! bamboo toothbrush benefits for your oral health It’s no secret that bamboo toothbrushes are better for the planet. But did you know that they also offer a bunch of benefits when it comes to your oral + overall health? Let’s take a look at a few. Bamboo is naturally antimicrobial. That’s why it’s a common material used for kitchen utensils and cutting boards. Unlike plastic, bamboo works naturally to kill bacteria that penetrate its surface. The handle is easy to grip. Bamboo toothbrushes tend to be easier to grip than plastic toothbrushes, as plastic gets very slick when wet. This makes it easier to get to those harder-to-reach spots of your mouth. The bristles are soft and effective. The bristles on bamboo toothbrushes are the same as their plastic counterparts, so you can rest assured that the bristles are just as soft and effective as conventional toothbrushes. Bamboo toothbrushes look great. As you can probably tell from the packaging of our natural toothpaste, we actually care about the aesthetic of your oral care products. They’re often the first thing you see in the morning, so we want the look to bring you a sense of calm and joy. The natural look of a bamboo toothbrush accomplishes this effortlessly. The benefits don’t stop there. Let’s take a look at exactly how bamboo toothbrushes are better for the planet, too. bamboo toothbrush benefits for the planet A sustainable alternative to conventional toothbrushes, bamboo toothbrushes can help you on your journey to reduce your impact on the environment. Bamboo toothbrushes reduce landfill waste. It’s estimated that 1 billion plastic toothbrushes are thrown away every year in the US alone. That translates to 50 million pounds of landfill waste! Bamboo toothbrushes are a great way to combat this, as they are compostable and biodegradable! When disposed of properly (which we’ve outlined in the next section), it can take just a few months for a bamboo toothbrush to decompose and return to the earth. Bye-bye, BPA. Good news for you and the planet: using a bamboo toothbrush can help you reduce your exposure to BPA (bisphenol A), an industrial chemical that’s been linked to many health issues. A lot of conventional plastic toothbrushes still contain BPA, unless otherwise specified. With our bamboo toothbrush, you don’t have to worry about BPA at all. It won’t be a part of your oral care routine, and it won’t end up in your trash can once you’re ready to replace your toothbrush. Seeing your bamboo toothbrush can inspire more sustainable choices. Your toothbrush is often one of the first things you see in the morning....and one of the last things you see before bed. A sustainable toothbrush can serve as an important reminder to make sustainable choices all day long. Now, let’s get into the specifics of disposing of your bamboo toothbrush in a way that’s good for the environment. how to “throw away” your bamboo toothbrush To ensure that you get the most out of your bamboo toothbrush, and it breaks down as quickly as possible when you’re finally done with it, we recommend following these steps. Consider upcycling your bamboo toothbrushes. You can use it as a tool to scrub tiny crevices in your bathroom or consider using the handles for something like garden markers/plant labels. But when your bamboo toothbrush finally reaches its end of life... Remove the bristles. We recommend using pliers to pull them out. Compost your bamboo toothbrush handles. The handle of your bamboo toothbrush is 100% biodegradable, but the time it takes to biodegrade will depend on your disposal method. Here’s a breakdown (pun intended). Commercial compost: In an industrial composter, your bamboo toothbrush will decompose in just a few weeks. This is much faster than an at-home composter because temperatures are much higher, and there are more microorganisms breaking down the compost. To get your toothbrush into an industrial composter, put it in your “yard waste” bin. Not sure if you have a yard waste bin or how to register for one? Check out this guide by earth911. At-home compost: If you have an at-home composter, you can dispose of it there, where it will take about 4-6 months to decompose. Plant it: You can actually plant your bamboo toothbrush horizontally in your garden soil where it will take roughly 3 years to decompose. Throw it in the garden: Don’t worry, your bamboo toothbrush will still decompose even If you simply throw it in your garden But it’ll take 5-10 years to fully break down. We recommend checking to see what compost options and facilities are available in your area. If you don’t already compost at home, we hope your bamboo toothbrush inspires you to start! sustain nature+you As you may know, all of our products are created to sustain nature+you. Our natural toothpaste was developed using intentional ingredients that promote your oral+holistic health and the well-being of the planet. Because all of our zero waste toothpaste ingredients are sourced and derived from nature, they do not harm the environment when they return through your sink’s drain. On top of that, we use recyclable and sustainable packaging to ensure we do not contribute to landfill waste. (Have you seen our aluminum toothpaste tubes?) The bamboo toothbrush is a natural addition to our product assortment. It’s the perfect tool to pair with our natural toothpaste for a holistic oral care routine that sustains both nature+you. buy premium toothpaste now.
