CLEAN TEETH, CLEAN CONSCIENCE

• A new toothpaste that is 100% recyclable, with no single use plastic tube.

• Unlike other toothpastes on the market, it contains no harsh soaps, antibacterials, petrochemicals or artificial colouring.

• 100% natural flavouring, with papaya extract for natural whitening and essential minerals to strengthen tooth enamel.

A new toothpaste that is not only good for you but good for the planet is now available in the UK. Happier Toothpaste, from sustainable beauty brand Happier Beauty, has packaging made from traditional aluminium, that is easy and energy efficient to recycle. With 1.5 billion single-use plastic toothpaste tubes thrown away every year, Happier toothpaste is a great swap to reduce your carbon footprint.¹ There’s no unnecessary cardboard box either. Even the postal packaging for the toothpaste is 100% recyclable, wrapped in 100% recycled tissue paper and posted in a reusable bubble envelope.

The toothpaste itself is also refreshingly different, containing only natural flavourings and no nasty chemicals. Each ingredient in Happier toothpaste has been specially selected to have as minimal impact to the environment as possible. Other market-leading toothpastes contain many artificial ingredients that are unnecessary and, in some cases, harmful. Happier toothpaste contains no soap and instead has a low foam formula treated with coconut oil to create light refreshing bubbles without drying your mouth. Happier toothpaste also avoids Sodium Laurel Sulfate (SLS) which is commonly found in other toothpastes has been linked with causing mouth sores and ulcers, and is often used in shampoos and body wash.

Happier toothpaste also contains natural ingredients with great benefits. Papaya fruit extract is infused into the toothpaste which aids with whitening and prevents new stains from sticking to your teeth.

The toothpaste is 100% cruelty free and vegan friendly. It has also been specially formulated for sensitive teeth.

Faye Wilson, founder of Happier Beauty said: “Toothpaste is something we put in our mouths twice a day, yet nearly all of us are guilty of being unaware of what is actually in it. I created Happier toothpaste after I started seriously looking at what is in market-leading toothpastes and saw you need a chemistry degree to understand half the ingredients!

“We are completely transparent with our ingredients; explaining what each ingredient does and why we’ve included it in our toothpaste. We never use SLS, triclosan, parabens, petrochemicals, colours, artificial flavours or sweeteners.

“It is also very important to us that our products have little to zero impact on the environment. We’ve taken special care to source ingredients that are kinder to your mouth and 100% recyclable materials for our products right down to the tissue paper the tubes are delivered in.”

Happier toothpaste is available online for £12.00 per 75ml tube, with free UK shipping. It is available in Fresh Mint flavour.
