Toothpaste tablets make use of toothpaste formulations, including xylitol, calcium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, and tartaric acid derivatives, without the inclusion of water. Diversity of toothpaste tablets drive sales With tablet manufacturers using recyclable or reusable packaging, they’re also gaining popularity among environmentally conscious consumers. Toothpaste tablets are small, bite-sized chewables that can be chewed into a paste before brushing, and they’re showing similar efficacy as traditional toothpaste. Toothpaste tubes disintegrate into microplastics over time, which is a threat to the environment and human and animal health.Īs a result, toothpaste tablets are emerging as a viable solution. The tubes are made of aluminum and plastic, and they cost significant resources in terms of time, effort, and recycling. Yet traditional toothpaste tubes are hurting the environment, largely due to the packaging materials. Reusable and eco-safe products fill shelves at retailers. They're pretty underrated, if you ask me - and so are these toothpaste tablets.Personal care product consumers have a strong interest in sustainability and clean label characteristics in their purchases. Its brittle consistency and sweeter notes are identical to after-dinner mints - yes, the pastel candies pooled up in a communal reach-in bowl by the exit door of your local diner. I tried both fresh mint options, and was pleasantly surprised by a milder minty taste. It won't immediately dissolve into a more familiar frothy formula until you wet a toothbrush and go to town on those pearly whites, so resist your body's natural instinct to swallow. To use, simply pop one into your mouth and chew. The final product is gluten-free, vegan, and cruelty-free, so everyone can feel good about experimenting with a new brushing method.īite Toothpaste Bits are available in four varieties - two of which are fresh-mint-flavored (one is naturally whitening, and the other contains activated charcoal), while the others include a zesty mandarin orange and berry option that's made with kids in mind, and a cinnamony limited-edition autumn spice variety.
Unlike traditional tubed toothpaste that contains cheap fillers, harsh chemicals, and artificial dyes and flavors, Bite manages to cut out all of the not-so-good-for-you extras, making its puny pressed tablets from just eight natural ingredients. After all, more than 1 billion tubes are thrown out every year, leaving behind harsh chemical residues that further pollute our planet. So, I made the switch from a disposable toothbrush to electric (I swear by the Apa Beauty Clean White Sonic Toothbrush), found some reliable floss picks that don't make my gums look like the remnants of a crime scene, and discovered a refreshing new toothpaste that - well, isn't exactly a paste.īite Toothpaste Bits are a new breed of natural toothpaste, formulated in pressed pellet form and packaged in a recyclable glass bottle that totally eliminates the need for wasteful plastic squeeze tubes. But it wasn't until a severely overdue teeth-cleaning sesh at the dentist (and a stern scolding about the importance of daily flossing) did I realize that my regular habits just weren't going to cut it anymore. The Brief: Brushing my teeth has always been a mandatory mundane chore, rather than a ritual that I actually enjoy.
Tester: Zarah Kavarana, former floss-resister who's determined to make her dentist proud There are a lot of cool things out there that make us wonder - do they really work? In our I Tried It series, we set out to use them in the real world and have determined that, in fact, they really do.
