Founding Story
After spending years working in the consumer products world, Katie became super familiar with the sustainability challenges plaguing personal care, with oral care standing out as a category lagging behind in eco-friendliness and innovation. Non-recyclable tubes! Plastic packaging everywhere! Old school branding! She dove deep into the oral wellness category and realized there was not only an opportunity to clean up the ingredients and make more earth-friendly packaging, but also to incorporate proven ingredients like fluoride and clinically-backed probiotics into modern formats to make oral care that is good for you, your body, and the biosphere. And thus, Mintly was born with the goal to create oral wellness oprtions that are equal parts effective, impactful, and exciting.
Katie is passionate about consumer products and bringing innovative, impactful options to as many people as possible. Having spent time in the consumer products world at places like Johnson & Johnson, she saw the immense impact of plastic in personal care, and became empowered by the idea that she could help reinvigorate everyday routines with products that were equally effective, elevated, and eco-friendly. She embarked on a mission to create modern, sustainable solutions with a positive impact on both people and the planet, and hasn't stopped since. Katie holds a Bachelor's degree from Columbia University and an MBA from Harvard Business School, currently resides in New York City, and is a proud mom to her golden retriever, Riley.
"Your whole product line is terrific because it's good for the environment and the mouth! I am already recommending Mintly to all my patients."

“Mintly uses all natural ingredients and contains fluoride to prevent cavities and decay,” says Dr. Reck. Each $32 glass jar contains 240 vegan, sulfate- and paraben-free tablets, so it’s a worthy investment. (According to our math, that’s a four-month supply if you’re brushing twice a day!)

You can pack only the amount you need with no possible mess involved. Tablets would fit great in a Cadence capsule or any other small container coming along for the trip.
