The company offers whitening strips, whitening powders, LED whitening lights, whitening pens, and other oral hygiene products.

Customers can also choose the bundle and save option to get more products at a discounted rate. With its loyalty program customers can also build up points for discounts on products.

The Good

  • Subscription Service
  • Reduced Sensitivity
  • Teeth Whitening Powder
  • Loyalty and Referral Service
  • Partners with America’s ToothFairy

Subscription Service

Zimba offers a variety of products for one-time purchase, but customers can also subscribe to receive monthly boxes, bi-monthly boxes, or a box every three months of its whitening strips. Customers can choose their flavor of whitening strip, the strips are shipped in 2-4 days, and then the strips can be peeled off their wrapping and applied daily. Each box contains 28 strips, or 14 days worth of whitening and Zimba claims that customers should see results after the first use, with best results after 14 consecutive days.

This whitening strip subscription service is unique in offering customers a choice in flavor. Many customers complain about the taste of whitening strips, so offering flavors like coconut, peach, and a variety of mints is a nice addition to the product. 

Reduced Sensitivity

Zimba’s whitening formula reduces tooth sensitivity when customers are whitening their teeth. If customers do experience some sensitivity during treatment, it shouldn’t last. Zimba also offers a desensitizing pen for instances when teeth do feel a little sensitive post treatment. The pen remineralizes and strengthens tooth enamel, eliminating a sensitive sensation. 

Teeth Whitening Powder

In addition to whitening strips and LED lights, Zimba also offers teeth whitening powder. The powder is made from natural ingredients and is hydrogen peroxide free, offering a nice alternative to traditional teeth whitening products. The powder removes years of surface stains that build up on plaque and tartar. 

One jar of Zimba’s activated charcoal powder or mint powder lasts two to three months. The powder works when dipped with a wet toothbrush and then brushed on teeth for one to two minutes. Since the product is made from natural ingredients and cleans stains and plaque from teeth, it’s great for general oral hygiene and safe on gums. 

Loyalty and Referral Service

Customers can gain access to discounts through Zimba’s rewards program. Customers can create an account with Zimba and then earn specific amounts of points for accomplishing specific tasks. These include referring a friend to Zimba, posting a video review of its products, following on social media, posting before and after photos, and more. Customers also instantly earn one point for every $1 spent on Zimba.com.

Points can be redeemed for discounts on Zimba products. At specified point thresholds customers can earn $10, $20, and $30 off on product purchases. This rewards system is a great perk that not many whitening companies have. 

Partners with America’s ToothFairy

Zimba strives to make a difference by partnering with America’s ToothFairy, a non profit organization that provides dental care to underprivileged children all over the world. Through America’s ToothFairy, a portion of every Zimba purchase goes towards providing grants for children who need dental care that costs more than their family can afford. The services provided include extensive restorative care, specialized services, dental appliances, orthodontic care, anaesthesia, and sedation.

The Bad

  • 30-Minute Treatment Time with Whitening Strips

30-Minute Treatment Time with Whitening Strips

Zimba’s whitening strip treatment was designed for customers to wear both a top and bottom teeth whitening strip for 30 minutes a day. This is an average amount of time for many whitening strips on the market, but it’s a long treatment time compared to whitening gel or serum that other companies offer. Some companies promise customers results after using whitening products for just five minutes a day.

The Bottom Line

Zimba teeth whitening products offer a variety of solutions for whiter teeth. Its teeth whitening powder is a great natural alternative to standard teeth whitening products that aids in overall dental hygiene. The subscription service for its whitening strips is also somewhat unique. Other companies offer a subscription service, but not as customizable as Zimba’s and not with whitening strips. The downside is that whitening strips require a longer treatment time than other companies’ whitening gels and serums. Zimba also claims that its products reduce the chance of having sensitive teeth and offer a pen that aids in eliminating any sensitivity that customers may feel after treatment.

It’s also nice that Zimba donates a portion from each purchase towards America’s ToothFairy, a charitable organization that helps underprivileged children receive the dental and orthodontic services they need. If you’re interested in whitening your smile, Zimba has some good options.
