Eco oral care..

The Humble Co creates eco friendly toothbrushes and oral care products.

“The Humble Co. is on a mission to challenge the traditional oral care category by offering sustainable products that don’t compromise on quality.” The Humble Co Team

About The Humble Co

The Humble Co, based in Sweden is on a mission to make your personal care routines more sustainable. The company has a vision where sustainability is the norm and consumers do not have to make the choice between being eco friendly or having a quality product.

It all started in 2013 when Noel Abdayem recognised that there was a huge demand for oral heath care products all over the world and that such a large amount of plastic waste was being left behind from toothbrushes alone. His solution was to create an eco friendly toothbrush made from cleaner materials that performed just as well as its competitors.

Noel also wanted to give back to those in need and decided to partner with The Humble Smile Foundation. The Humble Co donates 1% of their revenues to The Humble Smile Foundation to help fund missions around the world all while donating oral care products to help them meet their goal to achieve more Humble Smiles around the globe.

Nowadays, The Humble Co offers a range of environmentally friendly oral and personal care products that do not compromise on performance, quality or functionality!

My Experience

I have been trying to improve my dental routine recently and have already made switches to improves its sustainability. I use Waken mouthwash and a bamboo toothbrush or my electric toothbrush. I do however want to switch to a more eco friendly electric toothbrush to avoid having to repurchase replacement plastic heads!

Finding a new floss was the natural next step and I stumbled across these on Amazon. These are far more sustainable that regular single use plastic floss picks and reels. They have a soft mint taste and are easy to use. The end of them can also be used as a toothpick if you need one!

This was a super easy switch and for 50 picks per pack at £3.49 I think they are far more affordable than some of the other sustainable alternatives I've tested.

I highly recommend giving some of The Humble Co products a try if you're looking to improve your dental routine.
