Sustainable oral hygiene for everyone

Sustainable oral hygiene and what it means for us

Your dental and gum health is our top priority. Choosing a toothbrush should first and foremost be a decision in favor of your oral health. Sustainability is not a trend for us, but is present in every stage of our decisions.

That's why we are committed to finding the right raw material that is not only sustainable, but also safe.

Lignin

The handle of the promis brush is made of lignin, a by-product of the paper industry, with about 50 tons produced every year worldwide. It is a by-product that is, so to speak, recycled. Water-repellent, long-lasting antibacterial.

Sugar cane

Our tubes are made from the waste of sugar cane production, a renewable resource. The plant captures CO2 during its growth and reduces emissions of polluting gases.

PET bottles

For the mouthwash, we opted for a PET bottle. 1. it is 100% recyclable, 2. it is lightweight and unbreakable. Glass was not an option as it is too heavy and we cannot guarantee safety during transportation.

Recycled plastic

The dental floss itself and its case are made from recycled plastic, extracted from Italian plastic bottles.

Natural ingredients

We don't just limit ourselves to a well-considered choice of materials, we have also selected the ingredients with great care. Our products are completely natural, vegan and certified organic (ECOCERT COSMOS ORGANIC & AIAB), as well as packaged with eco-friendly materials and produced in Europe.

Bamboo and wooden toothbrushes?

Bamboo and wooden toothbrushes tend to develop mold if they remain damp. This can form both on the handle and directly on the brush head, because unlike traditional toothbrushes, the bristles are not anchored and therefore small cavities remain where moisture can collect. The brushing sensation in the mouth also did not convince us. Those who have already tried know what we are talking about.

Why secondary packaging?

Since our products are sold in different countries, we have decided to give the tubes and mouthwash an outer box, so that we can more easily vary the language depending on the destination. Additionally, promis comes from Bolzano (South Tyrol), where bilingualism comes naturally to us.

Disposal of products and materials?

All our materials are 100% recyclable, except the promis brush. This must be disposed of with household waste, which is usually incinerated. However, since it is made with renewable raw materials and not with petroleum like traditional toothbrushes, the incineration process is almost neutral in terms of CO2 emissions.

Production of your products?

promis brush & holder: Production in Germany.
promis paste & gel: Production in Spain.
