Gumpearl - good for you and the environment
Gumpearl has been developed with a single purpose, to offer a greener path to healthy and strong teeth in attractive packaging. The debate surrounding single-use plastic and its impact on our oceans is inevitable. Nevertheless, the plastic tube escapes the discussion every time.
Gumpearl gives you clean teeth and cleaner seas. Gumpearl contains no questionable ingredients, is packaged in attractive jars that are reusable, eliminates the unnecessary shipping of water for toothpaste, supports organizations that care about the ocean and is cruelty free.
A greener way to Healthy Teeth
They usually say 'Many small streams'. But we have gone above and beyond to offer dental hygiene products that are durable without compromising on quality.
Instead of single-use plastic, Gumpearl toothpaste tablets are packaged in reusable glass jars. Since the jars can be refilled with new tablets or reused for other purposes, the glass jar stands for more sustainable consumption.
Without compromise
Toothpaste tablets are all-natural, ethically produced, vegan and completely free of palm oil, titanium dioxide, SLS, alcohol, sugar, gluten, milk, preservatives and plastic. Without compromising your dental health.
Not throwing trash into nature is good. Not using things that generate trash is even better.
Together for clean seas
Alone is not strong, but together we can achieve great things. Gumpearl supports Keep Sweden Clean so that together we can influence the climate in our oceans.
Reusable glass
Instead of the disposable plastic that toothpaste is packaged in, Gumpearl comes in glass jars. When the tablets run out, you can either fill up with new ones through our environmentally friendly refill bag, or use the glass jar for other purposes. More recycling for the people, less plastic in the sea.
Keep Sweden Clean
Keep Sweden Clean works actively to eliminate littering and is a non-profit independent foundation founded by the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency and Returpack. In addition, the organization works in close collaboration with The New Plastics Economy Global Commitment, which is a global initiative based on the Ellen McArthur Foundation and the UN Environment Programme. The New Plastics Economy Global Commitment works to reduce the use of single-use plastics.
CleanSea
Every hour, more than 5 bathtubs of plastic wash up on Sweden's west coast.
CleanSea fights to stop ocean plastic from harming marine wildlife, and keep Sweden's coastline clean and beautiful!
Every piece of plastic CleanSea removes from the ocean could be the piece that saves a life. Removing 0.1 kilo of ocean plastic can, for example, save a seabird or 0.5 kilo can be enough to save a seal.

Frequently asked questions about Sustainability
In what way are toothpaste tablets more sustainable?
In what way are toothpaste tablets more sustainable?
Toothpaste tubes result in huge amounts of single-use plastic which is a huge burden on our environment. Gumpearl toothpaste tablets are 100% vegan and completely free of palm oil, titanium dioxide, SLS, alcohol, sugar, gluten, milk, preservatives and plastic. Without compromising on your dental health.
Why do you support Keep Sweden Clean?
It is not enough to offer greener alternatives to oral health. We must contribute and work together to create cleaner oceans. Supporting larger organizations that work with this was therefore a natural choice. The choice fell on Håll Sverige Rent because they are fact-based, closely connected to consumers and make a real difference for the environment. In addition, they actively work to educate and change behavior.
Are the products vegan and cruelty free?
Yes, all Gumpearl products are cruelty free, vegan. This means that they do not contain any animal residues or ingredients and they are not tested on animals.
Why aren't there more vegan options on the market?
Good question! But we assume that there are many companies that cannot or do not want to live up to the requirements placed on vegan products. In order for cold dental care products to be vegan, it is required that no animal ingredients or ingredients derived from animals appear in the product itself or in the manufacture of the product. From my own experience, there are many companies that have not kept up with and listened to the demand for vegan products on the market. Both myself and dentists have long requested vegan dental care products that are free of palm oil.
What is meant by reusable glass jar?
A reusable glass jar is a jar made of glass that is designed to be used multiple times instead of being thrown away after a single use. Glass jars are durable, hard-wearing and can be cleaned and refilled with new products or used for other purposes. Reusing glass jars helps reduce waste and is a more sustainable alternative to single-use containers made of plastic or other materials.
If you find no use for your empty glass jar, you can sort it in the clear glass recycling bin, where it will be melted down and turned into a new glass object. We could call it a win-win.
Why are the products vegan?
Gumpearl products are vegan because they contain no animal ingredients or by-products and because no animals are used in the manufacturing process. This means that all ingredients come from plant-based or synthetic sources, and the products are manufactured with both animal welfare and the environment in mind. Creating vegan products is also a way to meet the increasing demand from consumers who want more ethical and sustainable options, especially in personal care and beauty.
It also reflects a sustainable lifestyle where reduced impact on animals and nature is prioritized.
