Hydroxi Premium Toothpaste, Whitening + Enamel Health

This is what disclosure should look like. One small named plastic part keeps it at a 2 under our plastic-free-means-packaging-too rule; order it capless and it is a true 1.

2 / 10 Low plastic footprint $$

A metal-tube toothpaste with component-level honesty, scored 2 for its one named plastic cap, down to naming the cap resin. The recyclable aluminum tube replaces the standard plastic laminate tube.

How this score breaks down

Plastic in the product and its packaging Minimal plastic
Aluminum tube with food-grade non-BPA liner; cap is virgin HDPE, recyclable, and orders can omit cap and box
Microplastic shedding and leaching Doesn't shed
None disclosed; no synthetic film formers in the published list
End of life: persistence and recovery Recovers well
Recyclable, repairable, or genuinely recovered; low persistence.
Plastic-derived chemicals of concern Low concern
No phthalates, bisphenols, or PFAS.
Transparency and disclosure Mostly disclosed
Best-in-class: tube, liner, cap resin and box all named
