MELBOURNE, Australia - AussieJournal -- ohGiGi® has been awarded the Diamond Product Sustainability Award for the second consecutive year, recognising its ongoing commitment to reducing environmental impact within the oral care sector. This announcement precedes World Oral Health Day, observed annually on March 20.

ohGiGi® was founded in 2021 by Karen Tan, following a personal diagnosis of multiple chemical sensitivities in 2015. This experience prompted an investigation into the composition of consumer products, including toothpaste, which revealed concerns with synthetic additives and plastic packaging. The company was subsequently established to provide an alternative.

The primary environmental concern addressed by ohGiGi® is the disposal of traditional plastic toothpaste tubes. These tubes, often composed of multiple material layers, contribute to landfill waste and microplastic pollution. ohGiGi®'s product line features reusable glass jars as a substitute for conventional plastic packaging.
