AUSSIE health start-up embi Oral Optimal Care is on a mission to change the way consumers approach oral care through sustainability and innovation.
The zero-waste company offers a wide range of products, including a tongue scraper, to help remove bacteria and lead to healthier teeth and gums.
According to founder Michael Blumberg, daily tongue scraping for 15 seconds a day before brushing can reap immediate results.
Each embi product is made from biodegradable materials and features eco-friendly packaging, including tongue scrapers made from stainless steel and pure copper (RRP: $22.95 each), whitening toothpaste tablets (RRP: $12.95), silk floss picks (RRP: $5.95 each), dental cases (RRP: $12.95) and toothbrushes (RRP: $4.95 each).
Most toothbrushes are made from non-recyclable plastics, which can take hundreds of years to decompose, adding to landfill, releasing microplastics into the environment and contaminating oceans and soils.
The embi range of oral care products is now available in over 50 pharmacies around the country, including Priceline, TerryWhite Chemmart, Mr Vitamins and various independent retailers.
