NOBS plastic free toothpaste skips the plastic tube completely. Our toothpaste tablets come in an airtight glass jar, so there's no tube to squeeze and no cap to lose. Nothing ends up half-used in the trash.
Inside each jar are pre-measured tablets made with 5% nano-hydroxyapatite to support enamel remineralization, all without fluoride. Chew a tablet, brush as usual and enjoy a cleaner routine that's easier on your bathroom counter and the planet.

Plastic free toothpaste is toothpaste sold in packaging that doesn't rely on plastic. Some brands use metal tubes, tins or jars. NOBS takes a different route, offering toothpaste in plastic free packaging by turning the formula itself into solid tablets.
Without water, the tablets don't need a squeezable plastic tube. They need only a jar to keep them dry. You chew one tablet into a fine powder, wet your toothbrush and brush like you always have. It's toothpaste without a plastic tube, without the mess and without guessing how much to use.
Most toothpaste tubes are made from several thin layers of plastic, and many include a layer of aluminum too. Those layers are bonded together to protect the paste, but that also makes the tube difficult for most recycling facilities to process. Add a plastic cap and leftover paste stuck inside, and a single tube is surprisingly hard to dispose of responsibly.
The waste builds up quickly. Each person in your home may go through several tubes a year, and those empty tubes often end up in a landfill. When you multiply that across a household, a neighborhood or a city, a small daily habit becomes a big source of plastic.
That's why we built NOBS around a different idea. Instead of improving the tube, we removed the need for it. Choosing a toothpaste without plastic packaging is one of the simplest swaps you can make. It takes no extra effort, changes nothing about how often you brush and makes a real difference over time.
Choosing NOBS means choosing a formula that has actually been put to the test. Every NOBS toothpaste tablet contains 5% nano-hydroxyapatite (n-HA), the same mineral your teeth are made of, to support enamel remineralization and long-term oral health.
The NOBS formula has been put to the test. In a peer-reviewed laboratory study published in Dentistry Journal in 2025, NOBS nano-hydroxyapatite toothpaste tablets significantly reduced enamel demineralization compared with both a placebo tablet and an untreated control. The NOBS result was more than double the placebo's.
The ingredient list is short, too. NOBS tablets contain 13 ingredients and are fluoride-free, SLS-free, vegan and gluten-free, with no artificial colors or flavors. With an RDA of about 21, they're low-abrasion and gentle on enamel while lifting surface stains. And because each tablet is a solid, individually dosed serving, NOBS travels easily. It doesn't count toward the TSA 3.4 oz limit and can't leak in your bag.
Switching away from the tube raises a few questions, and that's a good thing. Here's what to know about NOBS plastic free toothpaste, from the packaging to the formula inside.
