We are two friends living on opposite coasts (Brooklyn, New York and Santa Monica, California) that share a passion for living a minimal, zero waste lifestyle and on a mission to help others do the same.

MAYBE buy. Mintly’s toothpaste, toothbrush and floss are very clean from an ingredient standpoint. However, we were not any more impressed with the products over other brands we’ve tried. Plus, cost-wise, Mintly is pretty much in line with the other brands, not making it any more enticing to buy. Lastly, we really like that there is an ingredient to re-mineralize teeth (fluoride) but we would slightly prefer nHap
BUY (Definitely for the toothpaste!). Huppy: zero-waste, plant-based toothpaste! (We did it, we rhymed.) We really like the ingredients of Huppy - all natural and contains a fluoride alternative called nHap. The bamboo toothbrush is ok - just based on cost while the floss is probably a skip from us. Note: zero waste toothpaste is just going to be a lot more expensive than drugstore brands. However, we like that the active ingredient is nHap, so if your budget allows, we think the switch could be worth it.
BUY - if you can afford the extra cost (about $110 per year, per person), then the products are great. Our only issue with Bite is how expensive the products are — particularly the toothpaste bits. All of the pros are: a fluoride alternative (nHap), cruelty-free (not tested on animals), zero-waste (cardboard, paper and glass packaging), compostable bamboo toothbrush, compostable vegan floss, and toothpaste bits that taste like berry vitamins. From a quality perspective, Bite is a great product.
MIXED - if you can afford the extra cost (about $120 per year, per person — almost 5X more expensive versus drugstore brands), then the Chomp products are great. Lie with Bite, our only issue with Chomp is how expensive the products are — particularly the toothpaste bits. All of the pros are: a fluoride alternative (NHAP), cruelty-free (not tested on animals), zero-waste (cardboard, paper and glass packaging), and a soft, compostable bamboo toothbrush. From a quality standpoint, Chomp is a great product. We especially like that in addition to NHAP, Chomp is whitening and contains no xylitol.
Meh. We really like Public Goods so far, but we did not like this toothbrush, if we’re being honest.
