Toothpaste Tablets

Perfectly portioned little tablets of toothpaste! Just pop one in your mouth, crush it up with your teeth, and brush as usual. With zero chalkiness, a natural and refreshing peppermint flavor, and juuuuust the right amount of foam, these fluoridated toothpaste tablets gently polish your teeth to prevent plaque formation while also balancing the pH of your mouth and fighting cavities. Plus, they’re just so flippin’ convenient – especially for travel and camping. Once you try them, you’ll never want to go back to toothpaste in a tube. Your mouth (and breath!) will thank you.

A note from Krystina: These toothpaste tablets were totally reformulated in July 2025 and it truly was for the better! Although I’ve always enjoyed these toothpaste tablets, the addition of some foam and a natural, balanced mint flavor are *chef’s kiss*. Even my partner, who until now has very much not enjoyed toothpaste tablets and continued to use traditional toothpaste, has made the switch to these tablets and – in his words – loves them.

🌎 You care about the planet. So do we.

Look. I get it. It’s HARD to be an EcoWarrior. Someone who cares about the planet and wants the most sustainable products available - from the ingredients to the packaging to the way that product gets to your hands.

It seems like everywhere we turn, someone, somewhere, is greenwashing us.

But our superpower at A Drop in the Ocean is sorting through the BS, calling it out, and making sure our products are the absolute most sustainable and truly zero waste products we can find.

So on top of all the things we mentioned above about what makes our zero waste toothpaste tablets so sustainable, here’s a few other things you should know:

• We’re actually practicing what we preach behind the scenes. Each year, we track and record all of our trash, and we even wrote a whole blog post on it. The tl;dr version is this: on average, we produce less than 0.5 pounds of trash each month. Everything from the packaging our products come in down to the Sharpie we use to write “Fragile” on your box is zero waste to its core.
• We’re an online-only zero waste store - which is highly intentional. It may seem counter-intuitive, but online shopping is actually more sustainable than in-person. I’m a data nerd at heart and I love diving into the research, and there are countless studies that have shown that online shopping is the most sustainable way to get your everyday essentials. Don’t believe me? Check out our whole blog post on the sustainability of online shopping.
• We ship ugly boxes. Your order from A Drop in the Ocean is not going to arrive in a pretty, branded box. It’s gonna show up in a reused tea box, or a donated Amazon box, or maybe even an inside-out Girl Scout Cookies box. All of our shipping materials are always 100% plastic-free and reused as much as possible, with curbside-recyclable paper tape and a post-consumer recycled paper shipping label. It won’t be pretty, but it will be zero waste.

Got more questions about our zero waste products or our practices behind the scenes? Just send us an email! I’m always happy to chat all things eco.
