$25.00

This Stainless Steel Ice Brick is made from durable 18/8 food-grade steel. This non-toxic product features a slim, puncture-proof design that fits easily into lunchboxes and eskys and is built to stay in the freezer for years.

Made from excellent, non-toxic materials. Premium 18/8 (304) food-grade stainless steel exterior with a filling of 95% water and 5% alcohol. Plastic free.
The Low Tox Project partners with experienced manufacturers specialising in stainless steel production who demonstrate responsible business operations, including fair wage practices, with these relationships reviewed regularly for value alignment. Product safety is managed through independent testing where applicable, review of supplier certifications and material specifications and in-house quality assurance processes in Sydney. The brand operates with a flexible work model, prioritising outcomes over rigid hours to support balance between work and family life. Where possible, fellow small Australian businesses are supported to strengthen values-aligned supply chains.
The Low Tox Project uses uncoated 18/8 stainless steel for its durability, corrosion resistance and recyclability, enabling products to replace short-life plastic alternatives without ongoing waste. Products are developed for long-term use, with longevity as a foundation. Packaging is kept minimal and recyclable. The brand is working with suppliers to identify alternatives to protective plastic wrapping used at the manufacturing stage to prevent transit damage. Waste reduction is considered at every stage of design and sourcing.
The Low Tox Project provides an extensive library of accessible articles and resources to help families make informed choices about materials in their homes. Its Facebook community of over 16,000 members offers peer support and shared experience around low tox living. The organisation regularly supports local schools, childcare centres, sporting clubs and community organisations through financial contributions and product donations and has partnered with childcare centres to introduce stainless steel tableware as an alternative to plastic in early learning environments.

Product Reviews by Experts


I like how durable and practical this ice brick is – it’s solid, a good size, well made and designed to last. It’s also a sleek, modern design which caught the eye of my teenage son who has adopted it as his favourite ice brick! It stays cold for a long time and fits easily into lunchboxes and cooler bags, making it a reliable everyday essential. I appreciate the brand’s strong focus on durability and material selection, using stainless steel to replace short-life plastic alternatives. Their commitment to minimal packaging, ethical supplier relationships and community engagement is also commendable, particularly the work supporting education and practical behaviour change for families.


The 95% water, 5% food-grade alcohol fill is a clean, simple formulation that stays colder longer than pure water ice bricks without the mystery compounds found in many conventional gel packs. The uncoated 18/8 stainless steel exterior is genuinely puncture-proof – a real practical advantage over plastic ice bricks that crack and leak their fill, often at inopportune moments inside a child’s lunchbox. The slim profile is designed for real-world lunchbox dimensions rather than an aspirational one, and it doesn’t condensate onto food in the way that conventional ice bricks can. Same as the ice block mould – The Low Tox Project’s community infrastructure and educational approach to empowering families creates value that far exceeds the product itself. Partnering with childcare centres to introduce stainless steel into early learning environments is genuinely upstream impact – shaping habits and expectations around safer materials in the next generation of consumers.


What impressed me most about this product was that it solved a problem I hadn’t previously considered. As someone who has questioned the environmental and health implications of repeatedly freezing, washing and reusing plastic food containers and moulds, I had never thought about an alternative for ice block moulds. The stainless steel design feels incredibly durable, well made and thoughtfully engineered, offering a practical long-term solution for families looking to reduce their reliance on plastic. The product feels like a genuine investment piece rather than a disposable kitchen item, and I appreciated how easily it integrated into everyday family life. I was particularly impressed by how deeply sustainability appears to be embedded throughout the business rather than treated as a marketing message. The emphasis on longevity, material safety, education and community engagement demonstrates a thoughtful and holistic approach to creating impact. I also appreciated the brand’s commitment to helping families make informed choices through accessible educational resources and practical low-tox alternatives. Their focus on durable materials, waste reduction and supporting broader community initiatives reflects a genuine commitment to helping consumers adopt more sustainable habits over the long term.
