Stainless steel tongue scraper
The ayurvedic practice of tongue scraping has a myriad of health benefits. Scraping your tongue improves breath, immunity, dental hygiene, quality of taste, and digestive health.
Tongue scraping is an oral hygiene practice that removes bacteria, food particles, fungi, toxins, and dead cells from the surface of the tongue.
Overnight, our bodies cleanse themselves of toxins and bacteria and deposit them on the surface of the tongue. A stainless steel tongue scraper keeps these particles from being reabsorbed much more effectively than a toothbrush which only loosens the particles.
Cleanse by rinsing after each use and occasionally with boiling water.
None.
Stainless steel.
Manufactured in an environmentally conscious factory in China.
This item comes with a lifetime warranty, and we will happily replace your tongue scraper if it has a defect or breaks from normal use! If it accidentally gets chewed up by your kitchen sink garbage disposal however, we can't replace it but it is recyclable.
This has been my first time using a ayurvedic tongue scraper and I’m never going back. It’s been so much more effective than using my toothbrush. Personally, I’ve found it removes build up and keeps my breath fresher longer.
After the first time my partner saw me use it, he wanted to buy one too! Highly recommend if you’re considering investing in one!
Scrapes stuff from my tongue effectively. It also looks great. After a few months, I bought another one for my wife.
I have used a tongue scraper for years but they have always been the cheap plastic ones. This is a great product. I have been using it for the past month and feel a lot cleaner. I used the plastic one i still had, and found that my mouth didn't feel nearly as clean. I highly recommend this one over a plastic one that you have to replace every month or so. This one is easy to clean and sterilize. Its worth the extra few dollars, in 2 months you've already got your moneys worth.
David's Natural Toothpaste
This all-natural toothpaste is designed to whiten, remove plaque, and freshen breath. It's the first natural toothpaste that we've found that has that old-fashioned mint taste. Keep the planet happy and keep your smile minty fresh.
Store at a fairly consistent temperature. Get every last bit of toothpaste out of the tube with the metal turn key inside. Slip it onto the edge of the tube, and slowly roll up the tube to dispense the amount of toothpaste you need.
2.25 oz
Does not contain fluoride, SLS or other sulfates. Vegan, EWG verified and cruelty free.
The toothpaste tube and metal turn key come in a paper box, made with Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Certified paperboard. The toothpaste comes ina
David's Natural Toothpaste is American made and manufactured, with 98% USA-origin ingredients. Carton made with 100% renewable energy (wind power) and FSC certified packaging.
The metal tube is recyclable, plastic cap is not.
In order to recycle the tube, you will need to clean the excess paste from the inside of the tube. Instructions from the brand below:
1. Take some scissors or shears and cut off both ends of the tube.
2. Cut a slit the full length of the tube to fold open the tube to access the inside of the tube for cleaning....the edges of metal are sharp, so please be careful.
3. Wash off the excess paste with running water.... a toothbrush can be helpful here for removing all the paste.
4. Discard metal in recycle bin. It will be up to your local waste management provider to properly sort/recycle as we do not currently take back used tubes for recycling.

This is my second time purchasing this toothpaste, I love it! I had tried Lush tooth tabs, Toms toothpaste, and tooth powder. The lush products and tooth powder made my teeth sensitive. My dental hygienist commented that charcoal tooth powder can change the pH in your mouth and harm your teeth. The Toms toothpaste I wasn’t a fan of the taste, and I couldn’t locate a Toms recycling program near me. The David’s toothpaste is AWESOME. No sensitivity, the consistency is like normal toothpaste, and the peppermint is very pleasant and not an “earthy tasting” peppermint. My only comment is that when you are done with the toothpaste, it’s a little tricky to cut the packaging apart to clean it before recycling. The edges are sharp and the key makes the tube so flat that you can’t easily cut the side to clean the inside out. I’m happy to do it to reduce my waste, but something to be mindful of. So happy to discover this toothpaste!
I love the rolling key to make sure you get as much toothpaste out of the tube as possible. I also love that the metal tube is recyclable, although the plastic cap is not (in my town) due to its small size. The flavor is not a minty as a traditional Crest or Colgate toothpaste, but still refreshing and probably preferable for those of you who are not fans of mint. I am not sure if it is dentist-recommended - I plan to bring it up with my dentist next time I go in and make sure I am making a healthy choice as well as en environmentally conscious one! The price is admittedly pretty high for a tube of toothpaste, although hopefully it will last a long time, especially with the rolling key. I may post an update to this review with information on how long one tube lasts (brushing 2x a day) and what my dentist says about this product. Be well!
Bamboo toothbrush
Plastic toothbrushes are one of the top ten items found during beach cleanups. In fact, every plastic toothbrush ever made still exists today. These bamboo toothbrushes are such an easy switch! With their easy-grip handles and durable bristles, they're as useful as they are pretty.
Apply toothpaste and brush teeth for two minutes,
Adult and child sizes available.
Bamboo handle with nylon bristles.
Comes in a compostable paper box and a compostable bioplastic sleeve.
Sustainably harvested from organic, wild bamboo. Vegan, BPA-free, and certified non-toxic. USDA Certified Bio-Based Product and Green America Certified Business.
At the end of its life, these toothbrushes can be reused as a cleaning brush or a makeup tool like a brow brush. The handle can be composted, and the bristles are the most advanced bio-based option available, but they're still not biodegradable (pig hair is the only alternative, and it's highly controversial), but they can be recycled anywhere that recycles nylon. To separate, pluck bristles out with pliers, or break the head off to dispose of separately. Read more about composting your toothbrush on our blog.
I generally prefer a medium bristle but couldn't find one (anywhere I looked) -- this works just as well, though! Adult size. Happy to be replacing my plastic toothbrushes. Would recommend!
I really love the handle of the toothbrush. It feels very stable in my hand. The bristles are nice and soft, but they don't fall apart in my mouth. It also gets my teeth really clean.
Toothbrush looks great and the handle feels good, however the bristles are pretty hard! I’d say they are more firm than my old plastic toothbrush which was labeled “medium”. Unfortunately, this brush does hurt my gums quite a bit. Also, I wish there was a different color option to avoid confusion with other members of the household. My husband’s has a charming piece of blue painters tape on his.
Everything I need in a toothbrush. I wish the bristles could be compostable, but it's still great to have a fully compostable bamboo handle. It feels nice in my hand, and I think that these toothbrushes actually last longer than "regular" plastic ones (at least, I haven't noticed the bristles starting to wear down yet like a plastic toothbrush's bristles would by this time. When do you REALLY need to replace a bamboo toothbrush, anyway?)
I've tired other bamboo toothbrushes but these are my favorite as of right now. The bristles stay in place, they are sturdy but not too hard that they hurt. I've noticed my teeth feeling extra clean. The handle is smooth and I'm not afraid of it splintering. Plus they are super affordable.

Alum stone deodorant and aftershave
The deodorant crystal our customers are raving about!
The alum stone is a highly unique natural deodorant that can also be used as an aftershave. This amazing crystal deodorant is made of mineral salt, so it stops odor-producing bacteria from forming, making it a safe and effective natural deodorant. Each stone will last you for several years!
Alum stones will help you sweat less, but they don't block your pores like an antiperspirant would, meaning they still allow your body to naturally cool down and release toxins when it needs to. They are a beautiful and package free alternative to deodorant that's completely nontoxic.
Alum stones have been used since antiquity as a styptic and a deodorizer. The secret to using this crystal as a deodorant is to have clean skin before you apply! You can read more about how to use alum stones on our blog. When used as an aftershave on the legs or face, it soothes nicks and cuts, and helps to prevent razor burn or skin irritation from shaving.
Each alum stone is a unique mineral crystal with slight variations in shape and appearance. They are natural, hypoallergenic, cruelty-free and vegan.
Gently wet the surface and apply as you would deodorant.
The alum stone works best when your pores are clean and open, such as after a shower. You can also use a warm or soapy washcloth to cleanse your underarm, and then apply the stone. Either works just fine! Cleansing your underarm first is the trick to what makes this so effective.
It can have a bit of an adjustment period like any natural deodorant. We suggest giving the detox phase a few weeks for it to work its best.
Please note: It is a salt crystal that dissolves with moisture, so pat dry if needed and store in a dry place. We recommend using an old jar lid as a tray for your alum stone!
It does not expire, nor is it temperature sensitive. With daily use, this stone should last over two years.
Classic - Each alum stone is a unique mineral crystal with slight variations in shape and appearance.
Imperfect (not currently available) - We inspect each stone from our manufacturer and have discounted some due to more noticeable imperfections. "Imperfect" alum stones are not broken, they are typically just slightly chipped around the edges, but work just as well!
Travel/sample size (not currently available) - This is a perfect way to sample an alum stone if you're unsure, or just want a smaller piece for travel. These are pieces of stones that were broken during shipment, so putting these to use is truly zero waste! Each has a smooth outer side that can glide against your skin.
This stone weighs 5.3 oz.
Potassium Alum (Mineral Salts).
Alum stones contain a naturally occurring form of aluminum (Potassium Alum) that does not possess the same health risks as the aluminums in many antiperspirant deodorants (Aluminum Chloride/Chlorohydrate/Zirconium), which block sweat ducts and glands. Potassium Alum is a different chemical compound and stays on the surface of your skin, making alum stones safe to use.
Does not contain Parabens.
None.
Made in France.
Use until it’s too small to hold. It can last about 5 years, depending on how often you use it. You’ll end up with a small piece that's basically a rock, so you won’t want to put it in a compost bin but what you can do is sand it into a powder (it’s a very soft crystal), add water and put it in a spray bottle to keep using as deodorant! Zero waste!
I have used this product for several days now and am loving it! It goes on so smooth when I wet it a little in my sink.
I would compare it’s effectiveness to other natural aluminum free deodorants and have not noticed any BO smell, I am a recreational athlete so this is important! It won’t keep you from sweating but neither do any of the other natural deodorants. Best of all this is plastic free!!
I am absolutely amazed at how well this stone worked for me. Even with standard and natural deodorant I would have a sour smell by the end of the day. I've been using this stone for a few weeks and I don't smell at all. It's been fantastic!
Been using the stone for about a week and I've been enjoying it. I still sweat, but I am considerable less stinky with the stone. It's nice to have a deo that is low-waste and doesn't stain my clothes. Like others have mentioned, it's best to use the stone right out of the shower. If I forget and dry my pits I'll spritz them with a little rosewater or witch hazel to apply it. Appreciate the super fast shipping too.
So a few months ago I stopped using antiperspirant cold turkey and started using this. At first it didn't work. I gave it probably three weeks and smelled pretty bad. I tried a couple other natural deodorants afterward and my body odor only seemed to get worse. Finally I decided to give this stone another try and now it works so amazingly well! I think my body just needed extra time to "detox," whatever that means, and was probably working from the get go, I just smelled extra bad during that three week time frame!
I quit antiperspirants because they made my armpits super itchy, and so far I've had absolutely no irritation with this product! I apply it to wet armpits straight out of the shower so I don't need to run the stone under water. Can't recommend this product enough!
I get the hype. My underarm skin peels with just about every single commercial deodorant I've tried. This stone is amazing and the peeling hasn't happened once. I apply it right after a shower, and it keeps me dry for a large portion of the day. I do have to touch up with Tom's sometimes, but not as much as I was expecting to. Great little stone!
THINX organic cotton period underwear - bikini - medium days
More than 12 billion pads and tampons are thrown out every year, and the average person with a period uses 11,000 pads, tampons, and panty liners in their lifetime - that's a lot of landfill waste, money, and trips to the drugstore!
Now when you get your period, you can opt out of wasteful and expensive disposables, and just wear underwear like any other day. These period underwear are made with organic cotton and THINX signature tech that absorbs your flow, controls odor, helps prevents leaks, and keeps you fresh ‘n’ dry — all without feeling bulky or wet.
The bikini style is perfect for medium days - it holds up to 1½ regular tampons' worth. It can be used alone, or as a backup for a menstrual cup. We also carry a thong version for light days, and a brief version for heavy days.
Photos by THINX, Inc., used with permission.
Wear instead of a pad or pantyliner during your period.
Between uses, rinse, throw in the washing machine (cold or warm water), and hang dry. No bleach, fabric softener, or irons.
Fits true to size. Because THINX uses special technology to keep you leak free, the sizes fit a bit more snug than your average run-of-the-mill undies.
Your hip measurement is the most important size to consider when trying to find the perfect fit.

The wait is over... Fluoride Unpaste tablets are HERE!
Say goodbye to disposable toothpaste tubes and nasty chemicals! These tablets are revolutionizing tooth care with natural vegan ingredients and 100% compostable packaging. Plus, they polish your teeth for a brighter smile.
Unpaste tablets have a fresh minty taste, and their solid form makes them so easy to travel with. Simply chew one tablet and brush with a soft bristle toothbrush. No tube, no paste, no waste.
Compostable refill packet: 125 tablets - a 2 month supply for one person.
2 month supply + Storage jar: When you choose this option, you'll get your 2 month supply in a compostable packet along with a 2 oz straight sided glass jar. The jar perfectly fits one refill packet and makes a great storage container for your unpaste!
You can now also choose your preference of Fluoride or Fluoride-free!
Note: The fluoride tablets are imprinted with a D (for Denttabs, the manufacturer) on one side of the tablet and F on the other side (for fluoride).
To use, take one tablet in your mouth, chew until it turns into a soft minty paste, and brush with a soft bristle toothbrush twice a day. Rinse as normal.
Caution: Do not swallow. Not for use by children under 4 years of age.
The jar is dishwasher safe, and we recommend washing the lid with warm soapy water and letting it air dry.

Ingredient details
Refill packet: 100% compostable paper packaging. Unpaste has recently updated their packaging to reduce the amount of paper used!
The storage jar is a straight sided glass jar with a gold colored metal lid and airtight plastisol lining.
Made in Berlin, Germany.
BDIH Certified: BDIH (Association of kind German Industries and Trading Firms) is a German based organization comprising over 400 producers and distributors of cosmetics, food supplements, nutritional foods and over-the-counter medicine that has a comprehensive set of guidelines for certifying natural cosmetics.
The guidelines cover raw materials from plant & mineral, animal protection and they forbid the use of organic-synthetic dyes, synthetic fragrances, silicones, paraffin and other petroleum based products.”
The storage jar comes from a US distributor in Nevada.
After using all the tablets, you can compost the packet (even at home!) and recycle the paper wrapper and staple.
Reuse your storage jar again and again with refill packets! If you're done using it for this purpose you can reuse your jar for DIY projects, as a travel container, or another purpose of your choice! All parts are also recyclable.
I've used this a few times now since receiving and while I'm slowly getting used to the product, I do feel better about knowing I've reduced my plastic consumption! Like others have noted, these tablets will not foam up which is disappointing. I checked with my dentist and they said to always use a toothpaste with fluoride, so be sure to get the tablets with fluoride! Or ask your dentist for the best option for you!
It feels pretty much impossible to find a zero-waste toothpaste option that includes fluoride. Since my dentist told me I should be using toothpaste with fluoride in it, I have been on the hunt for a low waste option and these are the best ones by far!
I’ve been waiting anxiously for any of the toothpaste tab brands to come out with a fluoridated version for u.s. customers. To my knowledge, these are the first and I love them! I’ve tried other, non-fluoridated, tabs (lush and etee) and really didn’t care for them. The unpaste tabs have a much more minty taste that reminds me more of traditional toothpaste, which is a plus to me. This also might be a feature of the fluoride ones since they probably have a lot less baking soda. (I have not tried unpaste without fluoride). Still getting used to the texture of these - they are definitely more watery and less foamy than what I’m used to, but that is a small price to pay.
I decided to give these a try along with Bite to see what my options were like for ditching the tube. Compared to Bite, Unpaste has a much more intense, and long lasting mint flavor. They also taste a bit sweeter (although with that slight bitterness that comes along with stevia sweeteners). That said, the texture leaves something to be desired- I couldn't get over how chalky these were. One of the other reviews mentioned it was like "chewy [sic] on cotton gauzes", and that feels like an accurate description to me. I preferred the flavor and texture of the Bite tablets far more.
Refillable dental floss
If everyone in the U.S. flossed their teeth according to ADA recommendations, our empty containers alone would fill a landfill the size of a football field that’s 6 stories high in just one year — just for the empty floss dispensers!
Refillable dental floss is a simple and stylish solution. Each new floss purchase comes with a refillable glass container with a 33 yard spool of compostable silk or corn floss.
Refills are available separately in packs of 2 spools (66 yards total!) so you can use your container again and again.
The silk floss is the classic compostable floss we have always carried, and we now have a new compostable vegan corn-based version as well!
Since this floss is biodegradable, it can be a bit more prone to breakage than regular plastic floss; it can sometimes break between very tight spots between your teeth. We offer both silk and corn floss because the silk is a bit sturdier and might be a preferred option if you have tight spaces between your teeth.
The silk floss is made with 100% compostable silk. The other ingredients are candelilla wax and natural mint flavoring.
The vegan floss is made with a compostable corn fiber, candelilla wax and natural mint flavoring.
Floss dispensers are a small glass container with a metal lid. They come in a small kraft recyclable paper box.
Floss refills come in a small kraft recyclable paper box and a compostable paper wrapper.
Manufactured in China.
The floss is compostable after use, and the container is refillable! The container can also be recycled or passed along to a friend if it doesn't work out for you (but we hope it will!)
I bought silk floss refills with the glass dispenser and it works really well. I love the aesthetics of the glass dispenser, too. I plan to try the corn floss next.
Refillable floss that's biodegradable is great, but the corn floss breaks pretty much every other time I use it. I'll probably stick with it, but it does take some getting used to.
I was a bit concerned after reading the description that said it "may break in tight spots", but I have had no problems at all! I am impressed with the quality of the floss and will definitely continue to purchase.
I love the container because it's plain! It's very easy to use and quite compact. I also like that my teeth feel thoroughly clean after I floss! However, I have a lot of fillings and tight areas, so unfortunately the corn floss itself isn't a great fit for those spots. I'll be using it in the areas that I can, and I'll definitely give the silk floss a go. The nice thing is, for the most part, I just need a different refillable floss type. I'm happy that it's plastic free !! And very cost effective!
I was excited to make the switch to this dental floss! The pros are that is is both vegan and compostable. The downsides are that it is pretty thick and that it breaks between some of my teeth. Those traits mean I will not be able to convince others in my house to use it, but I'll keep at it.
Breath mints made from plants
First of all... You're welcome. These breath mints will make you smell like fresh plants, and shockingly, they're great for your teeth!

Xylitol has a cooling sweetness with a comforting, neutral aftertaste.
Best of all, this tasty innovation is home-grown! These mints are made locally in Tacoma, Washington, and are beautifully packaged in compostable paper tubes.
Each flavor contains xylitol, a sugar free sweetener that is way good for your teeth.

I've been eating these mints on an almost regular basis after lunch. When I'm at work I'm usually in a hurry and don't have time to brush my teeth after so these mints are really nice and easy to use. I do want to point out though, that I only use them because of the xyletol in them and not actually for "fresh breath". I've only tried the orange flavor so far so I can't speak for the other flavors yet but It's definitely more like a candy.
I sadly did not like these at all. I was excited to purchase them but they didn’t stand out to me, especially at $6. They just lacked in flavor/taste. I can’t see them “covering up” any bad breath. I gave 3 stars because I like the package and idea.

Inquire Within card deck
53 hand illustrated cards to inspire inner wisdom, growth and connectedness.
Each card is a meaningful phrase, reminder, word or prompt to help bring guidance and comfort to everyday life. Self healing requires a willingness to explore deeply, to ask yourself questions – to inquire within. The purpose of this deck grows from the idea that you yourself can heal you yourself.
A note from the designer on these cards:
"I hope you find joy in this project that was created in a slow & carefully meaningful way, and that the words and images inside serve as gentle reminders of the magic you already have in you.
The contents of the cards were conjured over years of little journal entries of my own. I like to write down little words and reminders for myself, and one day I decided to go through my personal archives and come up with a deck of simple, loving words & illustrations to share with others. Each design is 100% hand drawn in black ink my windowlit studio over the course of 8 months. This is a self-published card deck made in small batches.
+ With your intuition: take a deep breath and pull a card. Trust that you will pull out the one you need to see. What might this message mean to you in this moment? Pause and reflect.
+ Explore: flip through the deck and find a card with a message that speaks to you at the moment. Put it up in your space to remind you.
+ You are unique: use this deck however you like.

Bamboo hair brush
This brush is a zero waste alternative to hair brushes made with synthetic materials. It has a natural and luxurious feel, and functions exactly like conventional hair brushes.
When properly cared for, this hair brush can last for decades. It is completely compostable at the end of its life.
After cleaning this brush numerous times, I still find it awkward (as noted below), but it's getting easier. The trick to cleaning it is to thoroughly comb or brush it to remove as many hair strands as you can before cleaning.
With most hair strands removed, it's much easier to scrub carefully with a mild soap and a nail brush, sideways under running water, being careful to not get water into the brush. Then I let it dry, face down so any water runs out.
Solid, but quite light. Just the right amount of stiffness in the bristles, gets through tangles and scratches the scalp in a good way. Feels like it will still be a great brush for years to come.
This brush is sturdy and made of quality materials, and feels like it will last several years. If I was basing this review on durability, it would get 5 out of 5.
However it requires frequent cleaning (at least in the land of LA smog) and is difficult to clean. You can't submerge the brush and soak it. You have to be careful not to get water in to it, while awkwardly scrubbing the wooden bristles.
I wish the rubber portion that held the bristles could be popped out and washed separately, then popped back in again.
Red rose buds and petals, dried, organic
These rose buds and petals are super versatile and beneficial for all skin types. Rose is an antioxidant powerhouse and these particular antioxidants help to strengthen and regenerate skin cells. They also help to neutralize free radicals, which can provide anti-aging benefits. Rose is especially great for those with dry skin due to its extremely moisturizing properties. As if rose wasn’t already amazing enough, the aroma of rose is calming, relieves anxiety and promotes emotional well-being.
These rose buds and petals are also food grade, meaning they can be used to make edible products like desserts and tea.
For a quick DIY rosewater to either just spritz on your face or to add to a face mask, steep 2 tbsp of rose petals with 4 oz of hot water for about 30 minutes, strain.
For a calming dreamy bath, sprinkle in several tbsp of rose petals.
These rose buds and petals are also food grade, meaning they can be used to make edible products like desserts and tea.
