3 Eco-Friendly Oral Care Products That Belong in Your Daily Routine

Eco-friendly oral care is more than just a hot trend. It is a whole new way of looking at oral hygiene. Instead of thinking simply in terms of toothpaste and mouthwash brands, an eco-friendly mindset seeks to have clean teeth and fresh breath while still taking easy steps to protect the environment.

We say 'easy steps' because it is not hard to purchase eco-friendly oral care products. You buy them like you would anything else. And when you choose EcoFam as your brand, you can purchase right from our website. Nothing could be simpler.

With that in mind, here are three eco-friendly oral care products we think would be ideal for your daily routine:

1. EcoFam Toothpaste Tablets

EcoFam toothpaste tablets are a more eco-friendly alternative to traditional toothpaste and gels. They are easy to use, convenient, and more environmentally friendly.

The eco-friendly benefits of toothpaste tablets are found mainly in packaging. Toothpastes and gels come in plastic tubes. We all know what a problem post-consumer plastic waste is. Why contribute to it? At EcoFam, our toothpaste tablets are packaged with recyclable and reusable materials.

Using toothpaste tablets is pretty easy. You put a tablet in your mouth and chew it until it becomes a paste. Then add water to your toothbrush and brush away. The water turns the paste into a foamy lather that cleans your teeth and freshens your mouth.

2. EcoFam Mouthwash Tablets

Do you use mouthwash after brushing? A lot of people do. Or perhaps you use it separately. Either way, EcoFam mouthwash tablets are an eco-friendly alternative to liquid mouthwash. It is the same deal in terms of packaging.

Most liquid mouthwashes are packaged in plastic bottles. Switching to our mouthwash tablets eliminates those plastic bottles. You trade unsustainable plastic for environmentally friendly packaging.

To use a mouthwash tablet, you simply dissolve it in 10-15 ml of water. Then swish it around in your mouth the same way you would traditional mouthwash. Spit it out and smile – you now have a cleaner mouth and fresher breath!

Incidentally, both mouthwash tablets and their toothpaste counterparts are eco-friendly in another way. Because they are both sold in compact tablet form, they can be shipped more easily and in larger volumes. Transportation-related emissions are reduced because more products can be shipped without burning more fuel.

3. EcoFam Compostable Toothbrushes

Last but not least is the compostable toothbrush. EcoFam products are made with natural, biodegraded materials, including cornstarch. By contrast, plastic toothbrushes are almost all plastic. Each one of them represents even more plastic destined for a landfill.

EcoFam compostable toothbrushes break down pretty quickly in landfills. But guess what? You don't necessarily have to throw them into the trash. Because they are compostable, they can go into your compost bin or backyard compost heap. They will break down and become part of the soil.
