The packaging of the toothbrushes (box and inside wrapper) are made from recycled materials and can be thrown out with the organic trash. The toothpaste comes in tubes, tablets and glass jars. The tubes are made from plastic, but the web is thinner which means that less recycled plastic was used in production. The packaging for the tablets is recyclable, as well as the paper bags that brings the floss picks. Plastic bottles for mouthwash are made form recycled plastic.

All colouring comes from natural colours.

Social responsibility is one of the Humble Co. Product Values, which has led to the non-profit organisation Humble Smile Foundation who distribute dental care products to help those most in need. The Humble Smile Foundation donates Humble products to promote oral care to vulnerable children around the world through research and education, and annually they donate money.

Also, the Humble Co. works closely with with their distributors by supporting and encouraging them to engage with local philanthropic organizations. Some of them choose to work with organizations focused on social/human concerns (like donating to orphanages, women’s shelters, homeless shelters, or local LGBTQI+ organizations), and some engage with environmental-focused organizations (like cleaning beaches and planting trees).
