Davids Toothpaste's Sustainability Rating:

Fair

Davids Toothpaste is rated Fair because it has improved its products, but still has room to improve its packaging and reporting.

Davids Toothpaste successfully follows through on its commitments to avoid select climate-threatening petrochemicals, and Commons didn't find evidence of many other environmentally-harmful ingredients, such as parabens, phthalates, other petrochemical-based ingredients, or PFAs. This is difficult for small brands to achieve.

However, Davids Toothpaste doesn't utilize any alternative models to reduce waste, and its plastic packaging is of a virgin or undisclosed source, which demands excess energy use. It doesn't share any information on its energy strategy or emissions measurement and reduction.


  • Ingredients

    Davids Toothpaste has made ingredient commitments to lower its environmental impact, including by avoiding some petrochemical-based ingredients. Commons didn't find evidence of environmentally-harmful ingredients such as parabens, phthalates, other petrochemical-based ingredients, uncertified palm oil, PFAS, or microplastics in this brand's products. This is a great achievement for a small brand. Its products incorporate bio-based and/or biodegradable ingredients. It carries products that have certifications from Leaping Bunny, USDA Certified Biobased Product, and EWG Verified.


  • Containers & Packaging

    Davids Toothpaste has made efforts to minimize the amount of material used in some of its product containers, including by working to avoid excessive materials. It uses eco-friendly materials in its product containers, including ones that are recyclable and FSC-certified.


  • Energy & Water Use

    Davids Toothpaste doesn't share information on its energy or water conservation strategies. Davids Toothpaste has a country-localized production span, which helps reduce transit emissions in its supply chain.


  • Refill & Reuse

    Davids Toothpaste utilizes alternative models to avert waste for some products, including offering a takeback program which allows customers to return aspects of its packaging.


  • Slow Cleaning

    Davids Toothpaste offers an evergreen collection, which helps prevent production of excess inventory. It takes measures to avoid overproduction or overconsumption, including by minimizing wasted product through its tube winders.


  • Marketing

    Commons is still evaluating this brand's marketing emails.


  • Transparency & Reporting

    Davids Toothpaste has a sustainability page with high-level details on its climate strategy, but this page is hard to find on its website. Davids Toothpaste shares a complete list of ingredients used in its products, on a per product basis.


  • Emissions Tracking

    Commons couldn't find information on this brand's emissions tracking.


  • Targets & Offsets

    Commons couldn't find emissions reduction targets for this brand. Commons couldn't find evidence that this brand offsets any emissions.


  • Supply Chain & Labor

    Davids Toothpaste publishes limited information about its supply chain partners, disclosing that its manufacturers are all in the USA and its ingredients are 98% sourced from the USA. It doesn't publicly share a supplier code of conduct. Davids Toothpaste doesn't have a stated policy of regularly auditing its supply chain partners. This may increase human and environmental risks.


  • Advocacy

    Commons wasn't able to find evidence of any trade association memberships or any relevant policy for this brand. Davids Toothpaste isn't a member of any key advocacy organizations that are blocking climate policy, but it also isn't a member of advocacy organizations advancing climate policy. It doesn't employ any state lobbyists and didn't donate more than $100k to climate-obstructive candidates or PACs from 2018-2024.
