05. Review
Our take
Bite reinvented toothpaste as a bit, which is meaningfully better for plastic waste. Format friction and variable actives across SKUs keep it from ranking higher despite solid clean credentials.
Format is the product
Bite's best argument is the jar: no laminated tube waste, easier travel, subscription refills. For zero-waste bathrooms, that can outweigh almost everything.
Daily friction
Tablets require a habit change. Some users love the mild foam; others miss paste. Families with young kids may find bits fiddly. Remineralization depends on choosing an nHAp SKU and accepting a different delivery system.
Verdict
A thoughtful niche. Not the default #1 for enamel-dose clarity and universal family usability, which is why it lands at the edge of this list despite real strengths.
