Overview

Quip provides direct-to-consumer oral care products and services, including electric and smart toothbrushes, refillable floss, mouthwash, toothpaste, and gum delivered on a 3-month subscription, plus custom whitening trays and guards and a virtual dental care service.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Millions of subscription users and 54 million sold products prove repeat-demand traction.
  • Ultra Lite's 70% less waste pitch supports retailer and consumer sustainability demand.
  • Glowbar and app rewards strengthen habit formation and cross-sell before 2027 budget cycles.

What critics are saying

  • P&G and Philips dominate toothbrush shelves, compressing quip's pricing power quickly.
  • Subscription fatigue hits refill economics if app engagement drops despite July 2026 updates.
  • Retail and distributor dependence, including Henry Schein, gives partners leverage over margins; channel loss kills scale.

What makes quip unique

  • Quip pairs hardware, subscriptions, and dental services in one oral-care workflow.
  • April 2026 Glowbar partnership extends quip into high-intent, routine-driven wellness retail.
  • June 2026 Ultra Lite adds premium features at a $60 mass-market price.

quip and Glowbar partner to elevate everyday self-care through routine-driven oral and skin wellness.

quip and Glowbar partner to elevate everyday self-care through routine-driven oral and skin wellness. PR Newswire Today at 5:36am PDT Limited-time collaboration highlights the power of small, consistent ritualsto drive visible results NEW YORK, April 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - In a continued shift toward simplified, habit-driven wellness, two leading brands, quip and Glowbar have joined forces on a multi-faceted partnership in 2026. The partnership unites oral care and skincare around a shared belief: that small, consistent daily rituals drive meaningful results, making self-care both effortless and effective. A limited-time collaboration is running from April 26th through April 30th, where clients who book services at Glowbar's 23 locations will receive complimentary, award-winning quip Dissolvable Whitening Strips (choice of Rapid or Ritual), extending the in-studio treatment experience into an easy, at-home ritual designed to support ongoing whitening results. At its core, the partnership is rooted in a shared belief that self-care isn't about doing more, it's about doing the right things consistently. Better habits drive better results, and by pairing Glowbar's efficient, results-driven facials with quip's design-forward oral care, the collaboration creates a more complete approach to maintenance, one that fits seamlessly into real life, "There's a shift happening in how people think about self-care," said Meredith Glansberg, CEO of quip. "It's less about indulgence and more about consistency. Oral care has always been part of that daily ritual, but it hasn't always been seen through the same lens as skincare. Partnering with Glowbar allows us to bring those worlds together and reinforce a more holistic, habit-driven approach to wellness." Glowbar's in-studio environment offers a high-intent setting for discovery, where clients are already invested in maintaining their skin. quip builds on that mindset by introducing a simple, habit-forming addition, reinforcing that lasting results come from what you do every day, not just once in a while. The collaboration also brings together each brand's professional communities, including estheticians, dentists, and hygienists, underscoring a shared, expert-backed approach to routine-driven wellness across categories. "Partnering with quip felt like a natural extension of how we think about skincare at Glowbar, consistent, results-driven routines that fit seamlessly into everyday life," said Rachel Liverman, Founder & CEO of Glowbar. "It's all part of what we call 'wellcare,' bringing together the efficiency and expertise of clinical services with the accessibility of personal care habits. This partnership allows us to extend that mindset beyond skincare, connecting oral care to the same routine-driven, preventative approach." Supporting the partnership, quip and Glowbar will roll out a series of digital and social touchpoints, alongside consumer offers and community engagement initiatives centered around modern self-care routines. As consumers increasingly move away from complicated, multi-step regimens in favor of streamlined rituals, this partnership signals a broader evolution of self-care that is simple, consistent, and designed to fit into everyday life. About quip: Since its inception in 2015, quip has been on a mission to transform oral care from a boring chore to a cherished ritual. With a commitment to simple, science-backed design, quip creates intuitive, effective products that make oral health accessible to all.

More than 54 million products have been sold, with millions of users enrolled in quip's subscription service to ensure their products stay fresh and effective.
