Sustainability

We’re a small company, but doing the right thing is…everything. Here’s a few ways we’re making inroads into making personal care that cares for the earth our thing.

Carbon Neutrality

We partner withTrace to help offset our carbon footprint. It’s simple, we tell them all the things we do, from manufacturing toothpaste, to how many desks we have at the office, then they help us calculate our emissions. We then offset our emissions by helping to fund Trace projects both locally and internationally, including land restoration, preventing deforestation and enhancing biodiversity. Offsetting is a low impact, short term action we can take today, however, it’s not enough. We are currently looking across our entire supply chain to see how we can reduce our impact further.

Recyclable Packaging

Our mouthwash bottle and lid contain recycled materials and can be recycled. Our Electric Toothbrush replacement heads are also recyclable; we recommend recycling each head after three months of use. Our mailer boxes also contains 49% recycled materials and is recyclable through curb side recycling. So, please toss it in the recycling bin when you’re finished and give it a chance to come back around!

Local Suppliers

While most of our products are made in Australia, we are exploring local contract manufacturing in the UK to ensure our products don’t have to travel huge distances to get to the European market. When this isn’t possible we will ensure that the mode of transport is low carbon ie. electric vehicle or boat.
