Refresh Tabs was founded in 2021 by Cath Macdonald and Dee McColl. Wanting to live more sustainable lives, Cath and Dee wanted to provide a way to cut down the amount of waste generated from toothbrushing. Refresh Tabs are toothpaste tablets that don’t use plastic packaging and use no water in either making the tablets or brushing your teeth. As an added bonus, they’re also much less messy than traditional toothpaste tubes!

Cath Macdonald has been living in Gippsland for over 25, after moving from Melbourne for work and never leaving. The biggest reason she loves living in Gippsland is the people: they are genuine, friendly and caring.
