Hydroxi Oil Pulling Oral Rinse

The formula earns a 1; the unnamed container drags it to a 2 under our opacity rule. We asked the packaging question the page does not answer.

2 / 10 Low plastic footprint $$$

A six-ingredient MCT oil rinse with nano-hydroxyapatite. Clean formula, but Davids does not state what the bottle is made of, which costs it a point.

About Davids

Davids is an independent, family-owned US brand founded in 2011 by Eric Buss, who spent about four years developing a natural toothpaste with US-sourced ingredients after finding competitors quietly importing theirs; the name nods to taking on the industry's Goliaths. It makes premium natural toothpaste, toothbrushes, floss, and tongue scrapers.

It is Leaping Bunny certified cruelty-free, confirmed in that registry, and states it is also EWG Verified for ingredient safety. The recyclable aluminum tube, which comes with a metal roller key, is the low-plastic feature compared with standard plastic laminate tubes, and pricing sits at the premium end.
