SHOP TALK 55 Sustainable oral care choice Grin Natural is the brainchild of concerned mother Tara Tan, who wanted to look after her child’s teeth without using toothpaste containing sulphates, parabens and palm oil. The oral care range is free from all nasties, says Ms Tan, who together with her husband created products they claim are good for her family, for the health of all families and the planet. “Grin Natural brings clarity and innovation to the oral health category with the purpose of inspiring happier, healthier and more sustainable choices to consumers around the world,” Ms Tan said. Aiming also to create a global community of like-minded individuals, Ms Tan says Grin is now quickly becoming the popular choice among parents and those seeking products that match their clean- living lifestyle. She says influencers and mums across the globe are advocating Grin, while support for the product from dentists and the oral healthcare community is growing. In just over five years, Ms Tan has successfully managed to grow the brand into a household name in New Zealand, with Grin launching in three international markets: Asia, the US and most recently, Australia. A key foundation to the Grin Natural ethos is creating products that are healthy for the planet. Grin is proudly promoted as the only oral healthcare product in the world certified by the Orangutan Alliance \\\\\\\[a not-for-profit organisation supporting the protection of endangered species and their habitats\\\\\\\]. In addition, Ms Tara and the team are said to have built valuable social-good partnerships with some of the world’s most respectable organisations, including UNICEF, PADI, and the UN Environment Program. RRP: Grin Natural oral care range, from $3.99 to $46.
