Huppy is a small, Asian-owned business that creates plastic-free toothpaste tablets using ethically and sustainably sourced ingredients. Their products are vegan, GMO-free, and cruelty-free. Additionally, Huppy donates 2% of its revenue to support sustainability projects!
As I continue to search for more eco-friendly alternatives in my daily life, toothpaste was the next item I tackled. I had seen other brands offering plastic-free tabs, but I hadn’t found one that was both cost-effective and met my needs—until now! What I love about Huppy is how zero-waste the process is. You receive a forever tin (choose from blue or blush) and then order refills that come in compostable pouches. The whole chewing part took some getting used to (my boyfriend found them too minty, while I thought they tasted like Altoids), but we adjusted quickly. When you add water, the tabs foam up almost instantly, and from there, it’s just like any other teeth-brushing experience. I’m honestly enjoying the fact that I no longer have to deal with messy toothpaste tubes and tiny screw-on caps. It’s a cleaner experience both in and out of my mouth. —Danielle
You can get it from Huppy for $16+ (available in two sizes and two flavors; with a subscribe and save option).
