Tackling the Climate Crisis: A Global Effort
Earth Day
April 22nd marks the birth of the modern environmental movement. Conceived in the USA in 1970 as a result of a growing public consciousness about the damage being caused to the planet. It was a resounding success. 20 million people gathered across the country to raise awareness of how 150 years of industrial development was impacting the health of the population and the environment.
Now in its 51st year, Earth Day has become a global movement changing the face of the world of industry. More and more, manufacturers are looking to reduce their impact on a global scale. In almost every aspect of modern life, it’s possible to see the way that communities and individuals are taking an active role in tackling climate crisis.
Like any radical movement, there was and still is fierce opposition to the message that Earth Day wants to promote. A great deal of cynicism and resistance from oil companies and large conglomerates has been a consistent issue in tackling the climate crisis.
With increasing evidence available by the day, it’s getting harder to ignore the stark reality that big changes need to be made.
Brighton Beach: The climate crisis on our doorstep
Based in the vibrant city of Brighton, we find ourselves surrounded by a diverse and proactive community that wants to make a positive impact on climate change. Even here, it is sad to see the destructive effects that pollution has on our beaches and natural landscapes.
Regular beach clean-ups are organised here as a way to minimise the impact of the litter and plastic associated with a tourist hotspot. Whilst these help, there are still tragic reports of sea life washed up due to the steep increase in trawler activity. Dolphins and eels found with alarming regularity beached and caught in fishing gear.
Only recently, volunteers were called on to help remove a large amount of polystyrene balls washed up on our shores. Crabs, starfish and seaweed all found poisoned by harmful chemicals.
With the devastating effects right on our doorstep, we see the clear need for social change. We need to take responsibility urgently, as individuals and as a business to be proactive about making that change a reality.
The benefits of leading the way to a more sustainable and eco conscious business extend the world over, whilst bringing us together on a local level, as a community.

Let customers speak for us
from 1693 reviewsThe Mouthwash is fantastic but bottle very small does not last long.

The Hydroxyapatite Toothpaste is excellent and works on sensitive teeth. I have been trying to get away from Sensodyne for some time by using other less chemical based toothpastes including other types of Truthpaste but after a few days of using the 'other' the sensitivity was back and I had to go back to Sensodyne. Thankfully, Hydroxyapatite is amazing and I have no sensitivity so will continue to use.

I find that this toothpaste helps to remove staining

I am very impressed with the bundle. My teeth are whiter and not so sensitive. My teeth feel clean all day too.

I e been wanting to get away from froride for a while, truthpaste was my first experiment, I'm now on peppermint & spearmint truthpaste and I'm quite happy to stick with it, it's healthy, froride free, and gives me a super clean feel.. that's all I require..X

Love it nice peppermint flavour that refresh my mouth

I love this mouthwash. My mouth feels so clean and fresh after using. Great for in between meals and is really good at getting pesky bits of food from between my teeth.

I've been using this truthpaste for about a month and it has helped with the sensitivity of my teeth and also plaque. It also seems to be helping remineralise my teeth but I think it's going to take a little longer to be sure of that.
The peppermint flavour is quite strong and it would be good to see it available in an alternative flavour such as fennel. Peppermint could cancel out the benefits of homeopathic remedies for those who use them.

We got 4 pots and had to inspect them pretty closely to find the flaws! The toothpaste tastes exactly the same and it's my favourite toothpaste in the world. Get it!

This tooth paste has a great taste leaves your mouth fresh , I noticed my teeth definitely look whiter /and enamel denser and stronger in two weeks of use. Win win 🥇

I like the fresh flavour of the fennel.
Also I use homeopathic remedies and value fennel toothpaste.
I feel that this toothpaste does my whole mouth and well being good.
thank you

Ive been struggling to find anything that really helps my gums as well as my teeth. Getting older, NHS dentist impossible to find; truthpaste goes far and beyond the capabilities of not only other natural toothpastes, but the modern day chemical storm horrors too. I am so glad I found this!

All that needs to be said :-)

Great product great taste leaves whole mouth feeling fresh and clean. Love this brand

I am interested in your toothpaste as I like the idea of ethical products when I can source them. However I have some questions that I can’t find on your website.
I note your paste comes in a jar. Does that mean individual jar per person as presumably it is necessary to dip toothbrush into the pot?
I see that your products come from across the world. Are there not some alternatives that can be sourced in UK to lower air miles?
Thankyou
