Tom's of Maine started in 1968, Tom and Kate Chappell left Philadelphia and corporate America to move to rural Kennebunk, Maine. As part of their goal to "move back to the land," they used natural, unprocessed foods and simple, unadulterated products. Unable to find natural personal care products for themselves and their children, they decided to create and sell their own.
With a $5,000 loan from a friend, Tom and Kate began making products for home use that would not harm the environment. From the start, Tom’s of Maine grew and developed into a "different kind of company" based on the belief that people and nature deserve respect.In 1975, Tom’s of Maine premiered the first natural toothpaste on the market. Natural deodorant & mouthwash soon followed.
All Tom’s of Maine products are made with the highest quality natural ingredients. Our products are safe and effective thanks to advanced non-animal testing methods and reliance on ingredients based on plants and herbs.
Tom’s of Maine products contain NO — artificial colors, flavours, sweeteners, preservatives, or animal products. The concept of natural personal care—products made without artificial or animal ingredients or chemicals—is one whose time has come. Tom's of Maine has been at the forefront of this innovative idea since their founding in 1970.
