Justin and Rachel Bernhaut decided to reinvigorate their Jack N' Jill toothpaste business, owned by Justin's father and familiar to many growing up in Australia the 1950s.

The Bernhauts invested $150,000 in formulating the product, relaunching the brand and then using the original machinery to make the first 50,000 tubes by hand.
