    Best stored in reusable and sealable dry container.

    Made in the UK by SESI, a social enterprise offering a completely circular packaging solution.

    A dishwasher can cut water usage by half or more verses washing by hand but to boost its eco credentials only run it on full, use the eco setting which saves up to 20% of electricity, scrape rather than rinse leftovers from the dishes (pre-rinsing wastes up to 27,000 litres of water a year) and skip the dry cycle, leaving the door open to let the dishes dry instead. Choose the most energy-efficient model you can afford and maintain it to extend its life. (Source Is it Really Green? Georgina Wilson-Powell)

  • Westcountry Tea Co. confirms that it supports and trades in line with the ETI Base code.

    Committed to using and promoting the use of plastic free, this English Breakfast Tea Bag is completely plastic and packaging free. Using the world’s first 100% plastic free heat sealable tea bag material. The tea bags are made from corn starch, which is a 100% natural fibre, so they do not contain any petroleum based synthetic fabrics, making them 100% biodegradable / compostable. Ideally, they would like to be put into an industrial compost “Council food waste collection”, however if you do compost at home, it is possible but it can take up to 3 years and only on a well-maintained compost heap. If they end up going to landfill or being burned, at least there is no plastic going into the ground or atmosphere.

    Most of West Country Tea Co teas are organic, however they are unable to advertise or sell them as such, as they are not organic certified themselves. As they process the ingredients in blending they would need to be certified and unfortunately this is a very expensive route to take and not an option for them at the moment.

    A great alternative to plastic packaged toothpaste.

  • Denttabs have cleverly removed all unnecessary water from conventional toothpaste which not only means we can buy it plastic free but also removes the need for a lot of chemicals and preservatives.

    Contains Fluoride (1450 ppm)

    Vegan and Natural cosmetics certified.

    Full ingredients list:

    Microfine cellulose fibres, Citric acid, Sodium hydrogen carbonate, Silica, Amisoft (Sodium Lauryl Glutamate), Natural mint flavour, Eugenol, Xanthan Gum, Stevia (Stevioside), Menthol, Sodium fluoride, Magnesium Stearate

    Ingredients description:

    Microfine cellulose fibres (Microcrystalline Cellulose)

    The cellulose fibres in the toothpaste tablets are obtained from woody plant parts. Of course, FSC certified and grown in the EU. It is a long-chain polysaccharide that can polish your teeth ultra-smooth up to the interdental spaces. That's why new particles roll off the surfaces of your teeth. Coatings, also known as plaque, can practically not form in the first place.

    Citric acid

    Stimulates the flow of saliva. The increased salivary flow with natural calcium and phosphate ions causes faster remineralization of the enamel and tooth.

    Sodium hydrogen carbonate (Sodium Bicarbonate)

    Also known as sodium bicarbonate, in the reaction with the citric acid adjusts the pH of the tab to a neutral value during tooth brushing.

    Silica

    Serves as gentle cleaning body.

    Amisoft (Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate)

    A mild and natural surfactant composed of vegetable fatty acids and the amino acid glutamic acid isolated from plant proteins. When cleaning, it helps to combine proteins, fats and carbohydrates with water to flush them out when rinsing.

    Natural mint flavor

    Provides together with the stevia extract and menthol for the pleasant feeling of freshness in the mouth.

    Eugenol

    Part of our natural mint flavor. Eugenol is also known as a characteristic flavoring from cloves.

    Xanthan Gum

    A natural polysaccharide that is also used as a thickener and gelling agent. In the toothpaste tab, it provides the pleasant creaminess after chewing the tab.

    Stevia (Stevioside)

    Sweet tasting plant, which together with the aroma and menthol provides the good taste. Stevioside are not sugar, but proteins that have a characteristic sweet taste. Therefore, stevioside can not trigger tooth decay.

    Menthol

    Provides freshness in the mouth

    Sodium fluoride (Sodium Fluoride)

    Serves the remineralization of tooth enamel and can especially help with sensitive teeth, but also with incipient caries.

    Magnesium Stearate

    A herbal excipient necessary for tab production.

  • Sold loose, store in a air tight container at home.

    Sold to us in a paper bag and a cardboard box which are recycled and reused for our plastic free home delivery service.

  • Germany. Delivered to us via land.

  • Climate neutral:

    Denttabs have calculated and offset the carbon footprint of their toothpaste tabs together with Climate Partner.

    Renewable raw material:

    More than two-thirds of the toothpaste tabs contain a renewable raw material: cellulose from FSC-certified forests in Sweden.

    Water-free:

    No water, saving an important resource.
