Bite is an all-natural and sustainable oral hygiene brand that is dedicated to ending plastic waste, one healthy smile at a time.
Who is Bite?
Every little bit counts.
Bite was founded by Lindsay McCormick to answer two main questions:
Why does toothpaste come in plastic tubes and what exactly are we putting in our bodies when we brush our teeth?
Their mission is:
"Bite was founded on the belief that a brighter smile doesn’t need to come at the expense of our bodies or the environment. Our daily habits matter, and the small changes we make together can add up to something big."
The Products
Get your plastic-free routine started.
When you purchase a Bite product, you will get a shipment every four-months. When you make your first purchase, you will get your Bite toothpaste bits shipped in a glass jar. Then, every four-months you will get a refill shipped in a compostable bag.
Bite Bits:
These are their most popular toothpaste bit flavors:
Fresh Mint Mint with Activated Charcoal Berry Twist
Toothbrushes:
The Bite toothbrushes are made of bamboo and designed to have detachable heads so that they are easy to keep compact and travel with.
The bristles are charcoal and bamboo infused.
They are gentle on your gums and tough on surface stains and plaque.
They are working on creating a program where you can buy just the brush head, so you do not have to repurchase a whole toothbrush every time you need a new one.
