"Living near the wineries in Napa & Sonoma, I was on one of my many weekend trips when I realized my white teeth were turning a "Funkky'' shade of purple from the red wine. I whiten my teeth and like a fresh and white smile when I'm out, especially taking pictures," said Founder & CEO, Joelle S. Flynn. "To solve this issue, I would carry around a bulky toothpaste tube and full-size toothbrush in my purse. I was constantly brushing my teeth in between selfies and wine tastings to keep my white teeth fresh and white. One of these times, I reached into my purse and pulled out my lipstick, looked at it in the palm of my hand, and thought, 'Why isn't there a product as compact and reusable as my lipstick - but for my teeth?' and that is how FunkkOFF! TeethRefreshers® was born."
"FunkkOFF! TeethRefreshers® is a brilliant, multi-patented invention that provides an elegant and practical solution to an everyday problem we all have. We wrapped this up in a clever and fun brand that we plan to extend to other game-changing products in the oral care, personal care and beauty categories." says Co-Founder, COO & CMO, Sonia Hounsell. "FunkkOFF! TeethRefreshers® is one of those products that you try once and realize you cannot live without it."
FunkkOFF! TeethRefreshers® utilizes an easy-twist mechanism and aerated cap to make brushing convenient and hygienic. Twist the bottom, brush and with a quick rinse of the bristles, they are as easy to use as chapstick - but for your teeth. With over 80% of Americans using some form of teeth whitening product in their oral routine, TeethRefreshers® is the only all-in-one discreet and reusable toothbrush + toothpaste on the market that gives you the power to be confident anytime, anywhere all day or night.

Over 80% of Americans use some form of teeth whitening products to keep their teeth white. But, there’s no better way to maintain pearly whites other than brushing. Unless someone is carrying around a toothbrush and toothpaste, they end up with stains on their teeth from coffee, tea, wine and all sorts of beverages or food in teeth after meals. Before FunkkOFF! TeethRefreshers® were invented, there was no way to conveniently & quickly freshen up a smile throughout the day.

January 8, 2019 - FunkkOFF! ® Inc. announces formation of the lifestyle brand company that specializes in innovative, on-the-go personal care, oral care and beauty products for women & men. FunkkOFF!®’s flagship invention is their TeethRefreshers®, the 1st and only all-in-one, reusable toothbrush & toothpaste innovative product to refresh your teeth on-the-go. FunkkOFF! ® Inc. calls this product a must have, “Secret Weapon” in your purse and is the first of many to be rolled out.
Joelle S. Flynn, Founder & CEO, came up with the idea for FunkkOFF! TeethRefreshers® while living in Northern California. “Living near the wineries, I was on one of my many weekend trips to Napa & Sonoma when I realized my white teeth were turning a ‘Funkky’ shade of purple from the red wine I was drinking. It was so embarrassing… I worked hard to keep my teeth sparkling white! To solve this, I would carry around a bulky toothpaste tube and full-size toothbrush in my purse when I was out. I was constantly brushing my teeth in between selfies & wine tastings to get the ‘Funkk’ ‘OFF’ of my teeth. One of these times, I reached into my purse and pulled out my lipstick and looked at it and thought, ‘Why isn’t there a product as compact and reusable as my lipstick - but for my teeth?’” says Founder and CEO, Flynn, on the motivation behind her company. “AHA! My lightbulb moment! I went home, put pen to paper and started drawing and designing what would become FunkkOFF! TeethRefreshers®.”
This month, Joelle formally partnered with long-time friend (they go all the way back to 7th grade!) and brand marketing gurr, Sonia Hounsell, to help launch the FunkkOFF! ® brand and start the commercialization of TeethRefreshers®.
Sonia Hounsell has worked in traditional consumer packaged goods companies (CPG) for over 25 years bringing 30+ products to retail shelves.
Hounsell comments, “Over the last few years, I became increasingly frustrated with the lack of focus on innovation in traditional CPG. R&D is a much lower priority in big companies and, as a result, true innovation rarely occurs. I was seeing a contraction in the traditional CPG environment and all the growth in consumer products was coming from direct-to-consumer start-ups. In fact, 90% of all CPG E-commerce growth is attributed to start-ups. So when my long-time entrepreneurial friend, Joelle, called me with her idea and asked me to help her bring FunkkOFF!® to market, I was ready to leave the slow growth of CPG and help create a start-up with a breakthrough product that would be a disruptor and a game-changer in the oral care industry. FunkkOFF!® goes well beyond oral care to give consumers the very first Beauty Essential product for their teeth. We see it thriving on-line as well as in stores like Sephora & Ulta. I also knew from decades of friendship with Joelle - whether on the lacrosse field or in calculus class - she and I would make a powerful and unstoppable team!”
