We are thrilled to announce that ohGiGi, the Australian brand revolutionising oral care with eco-friendly tooth powder, has been recognised with a Product Sustainability Award for their innovative and sustainable approach to dental hygiene.

A Vision of Health and Sustainability

Founded by Karen Tan, a wellness entrepreneur and integrative health practitioner, ohGiGi began as a personal journey toward better health. In 2015, Karen was diagnosed with multiple chemical sensitivities, which led her to reevaluate the products she was using in her home and on her body. Disappointed by the plastic and chemicals in conventional toothpaste, she set out to create a natural alternative. By 2021, ohGiGi was born—an eco-conscious brand offering toxin-free, organic tooth powder in glass jars.

“Every time you purchase a jar of our toothpowder, you’re voting for the kind of world you want to live in—a world where people understand that good oral health is vital for overall well being, and where millions of toothpaste tubes are saved from landfill,” says Karen.

ohGiGi’s Leading Sustainability Measures:

• Plastic-Free Packaging: Refillable glass jars and compostable refill packs.
• Waste Reduction: Over 36,000 toothpaste tubes saved from landfills so far.
• Natural, Chemical-Free: No sweeteners, toxins, or harsh chemicals.
• Locally Sourced Ingredients: Supporting Australian communities and reducing carbon footprint.
• Eco-Conscious Shipping: 100% recyclable, compostable shipping materials.

Setting A New Sustainability Standard For Oral Care

ohGiGi’s commitment to reducing plastic waste and promoting health-conscious, sustainable living has set a new standard in the industry. Their tooth powders, free from toxic chemicals and sweeteners, are packed in refillable glass jars, offering a zero-waste solution that helps reduce over 36,000 toothpaste tubes from landfills to date. This aligns with the brand’s bold mission to eliminate 1 million toothpaste tubes from the waste stream.

Sustainability Award founder, Anna Chatburn, couldn’t be more impressed with ohGiGi’s approach:

“ohGiGi is fabulous! Sustainable, healthy dental care choices like this are so needed! My teeth feel super-clean and smooth, and I can feel the remineralising qualities already. Having used a remineralising paste in the past that was packaged in plastic, contained chemicals, and was very expensive, I am very happy to have found ohGiGi products!”

Local Natural Formulation

ohGiGi’s tooth powders are formulated with mineral-rich ingredients, Australian bush botanicals, and Ayurvedic herbs, making them not only effective at cleaning and whitening teeth but also nurturing the oral microbiome for overall health. The company prides itself on using locally sourced ingredients and offering products that are free from plastic, toxins, and unnecessary waste. Their eco-conscious packaging includes compostable refill packs and 100% recyclable shipping materials, ensuring that each customer’s purchase contributes to a cleaner, healthier planet.

A Sustainable Solution in a Wasteful Industry

In a time when plastic waste is an urgent global issue, ohGiGi’s efforts are a powerful reminder that small, mindful changes in our daily routines can have a massive impact on the environment. The brand’s eco-friendly ethos, paired with its focus on health and sustainability, has made it a standout in the oral care market.

“We’re not just making amazing oral care products, we’re making the world a healthier place. Healthy people and a healthy planet go hand in hand,” says the ohGiGi  team. This sustainability award is a recognition of their commitment to challenging the status quo and empowering customers to embrace a low-tox, waste-free lifestyle.

As ohGiGi continues to grow, its journey serves as an inspiring example for other eco-conscious brands and individuals committed to making a difference. Their mission is simple yet profound: ditch the plastic, and care for your smile and the planet at the same time.

Congratulations to ohGiGi for this well-deserved recognition and for leading the way in sustainable oral care.
