About Us
Our mission
As a sustainable oral care brand, we make sustainable oral care the obvious choice — not the expensive one. We design dentist-formulated, plastic-free products that out-perform legacy brands while costing about the same. Then we give half our profits back to the planet.
- 50%of profits back to the planet

Our Origin
How NoWa Began
From a beach in Spain to a plastic-free routine.
I was on a beach in Spain with my two-year-old son when a plastic toothpaste cap washed up at our feet. He picked it up. I watched him hold it, and I realised our morning routine — the one I had never thought twice about — was ending up exactly here.
I went looking for an alternative when I got home.
Plastic-free oral care existed, but the options were either fluoride-free (a non starter for many dentists) or three times the price of the supermarket brand most UK families actually buy.
That gap is why NoWa exists. Premium sustainable care, made affordable

What We Make
What we built
Premium care in packaging the planet can actually digest.
We launched in 2020 with toothpaste and mouthwash tabs in a refillable aluminium tin — formulated to give UK customers a real choice between fluoride and fluoride-free. Because the tablets are dry, we ship more product in less packaging and a fraction of the carbon. One small tin replaces months of plastic tubes and bottles.
We followed with an Aluminium toothbrush with a replaceable head (so the handle stays, only the bristles cycle), bamboo dental floss, and a disclosing tab in single-dose form. Every product is designed to be used, refilled, and eventually composted or recycled — never thrown.
Our Pledge
We Put The Planet Before Profit
Half of every rupee of profit goes back to the planet — and we will not change that.
We put our money where our mouth is; when we say we put the planet before profit, we mean it.
- 50% of our annual profits go to environmental charities
- We reduce your carbon footprint by planting a tree with every subscription
- All of our products are sustainably sourced, cruelty-free, and vegan
- We only use zero-waste packaging that can be sent back to us to recycle
