FAQ
GENERAL
WHAT IS CLEAN AGE?
We’re a natural products company that makes deodorant and toothpaste for teens and young adults. We believe this is a critical time when personal care becomes a new responsibility and we aim to build confidence as they take it on.
WHAT MAKES CLEAN AGE PRODUCTS TEEN-FRIENDLY?
We’ve made each product with simple, natural ingredients. In addition, the packaging is sustainable because we believe keeping the earth clean is important for our future.
DO NATURAL PRODUCTS WORK?
We’ve taken great care to find products that work well. While products may not act exactly as their chemical-heavy counterparts, they are effective and safe.
THE PACKAGING STILL HAS PLASTIC—WHAT GIVES?
All of our packaging is made with FSC-Certified paper, making the paper components (including the Mint Toothpaste Tab carton) compostable and recyclable!
To recycle or compost our Mint Toothpaste Tabs, simply remove the plastic cap and lid. To recycle or compost our Natural Deodorants, separate the inner plastic shell from the paper exterior—recycle the plastic and compost or recycle the outer packaging. For more information on recycling in your area, look up your local regulations.
MINT TOOTHPASTE TABS
WHY ARE THE MINT TOOTHPASTE TABS SO GRITTY?
Our Mint Toothpaste Tabs are made with zero water which is just one way they’re so eco-friendly. If you find them gritty, simply add more water to your mouth or toothbrush or chew a little longer. Make this experience your own! Fun tip: for an ultra-refreshing experience, add an additional tab.
ARE THE MINT TOOTHPASTE TABS SAFE FOR KIDS?
We recommend that kids under 6 years old be supervised by an adult. Consult with your doctor or dentist as needed.
NATURAL DEODORANT
WHAT IS THE PACKAGING MADE OF?
It’s a fully recyclable twist-up paper/plastic hybrid that contains FSC-certified paper and 42% less plastic than traditional deodorant. Truly a one-of-a-kind on the shelf.
It’s a good move toward paper, while solving the push-up problem of product falling out of the tube.
ARE YOUR FRAGRANCES SYNTHETICALLY DERIVED?
Hi! Thanks for asking. Our fragrance comes from essential oils that have had typical allergens removed to make them more gentle on the skin. We list them as “fragrance” because many emerging brands have had scent profiles stolen by the big guys, so this is a way to protect our formula.
WHEN SHOULD KIDS START WEARING DEODORANT?
This is totally a personal preference, but we recommend chatting about personal hygiene and starting good habits before odor becomes embarrassing. Usually, this is around age nine.
HOW LONG DOES ONE STICK OF DEODORANT LAST?
Each stick should last between one and two months. If you’re applying more than once a day, it’ll be closer to one month.
THE NATURAL DEODORANT DOESN’T SEEM TO LAST FOR VERY LONG.
We formulate our Natural Deodorants scents to be subtle, never overpowering or fake. Not only does this make them versatile, but also easy to reapply. If you find it fading quickly, feel free to reapply as needed. You can also layer scents together to personalize your use.
