"We just felt there had to be a better way."

Simon Duffy, Co-Founder

Our Story

We started Waken in 2019 with some simple questions:

  • Why is mouthwash liquid blue?
  • Why does it burn when I use it?
  • Why does toothpaste foam so much?

It made no sense. And the more we dug into it, the more we learned that there are a whole bunch of things the oral care industry does just because it always has.

Our founders, Simon Duffy and Rhodri Ferrier, brought their experience from creating innovative packaging and unique formulations for Bulldog Skincare to the oral care industry. This inspired them to take a fresh approach and rethink the way oral care products are designed and formulated.

Working closely with dentists and formulation chemists, we have crafted a set of products that perform brilliantly. Whether you are looking for exceptional whitening toothpaste or a mouthwash that delivers 12-hour protection for your teeth and gums, Waken has a solution that will deliver exceptional results.

Sustainability is at the heart of our products. For example, our toothpaste tubes are made from recycled and endlessly recyclable aluminum, the cartons are made from FSC-certified cardboard, and our mouthwash bottles are made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic. We do the hard work on sustainability so that you can be confident in choosing Waken.

Don't just clean. Care.
