TikTok is one of the most popular apps in the world, with more than one billion active monthly users. The video platform caters to a younger crowd (ages ten to twenty-nine are the main demographic), and it was the most-downloaded app in 2021, with more than 656 million people clicking to load it onto their phones, tablets, or iPads.

Love or hate the app, you can’t deny that its recommendation videos can come in handy, even for non-users. People love to scoop up products from Amazon, Walmart, Target, and more and test them out on TikTok for all to see. On this list, you’ll find some of the best TikTok-approved products that even haters of the app will agree are awesome.  

1. Dan-O’s Seasoning

Price: $12.39 per bottle*
Brand: Dan-O’s

On TikTok, Dan-O’s Seasoning has 31.6 million likes and 2.3 million fans. The seasoning, according to the brand, consists of spices the way they “should be made.” People love this low-sodium, low-calorie product, and the chefs of TikTok have given it two thumbs up. Dan Oliver, the creator, was able to boost his brand’s sales through TikTok, as his delicious, unique seasonings quickly went viral.

2. Fume-free Oven Cleaner

Price: $6.27*
Brand: Easy-Off 

Cleaning the oven is a task that not many of us enjoy, but the cleaners of TikTok have sworn by this product, which they say makes oven-cleaning easy and convenient. Easy-Off Oven Cleaner lets you clean even the toughest of baked-on grime. The cleaner is fume-free, too.

You won’t even need protective gloves, no matter whether you’re doing a deep scrub or just doing some spot cleaning. You can find this Easy-Off cleaner at stores like Home Depot or Lowe’s, and you can also get it on Amazon for $6.27. 

3. Fruit Soft Serve Maker

Price: $41* (Classic)
Brand: Yonanas 

TikTok is a great place to learn about healthy ways to make desserts, and it is largely thanks to the app’s product boosting that people discovered the Yonanas 902 Non-Dairy Frozen Soft Serve Maker. The Yonanas comes with thirty-six recipes to turn frozen fruit into a sorbet-like treat.

The recipes also include instructions on creating your own pies, ice-cream-like desserts, and parfaits, all without the added fats, sugar, and preservatives. To clean the Yonanas, you can simply place the removable parts into the dishwasher. You can find this healthy dessert maker for $41 on Amazon, or you can grab a Deluxe version from Bed Bath & Beyond for $80.

4. Rechargeable Electric Lighter

Price: $9.99*
Brand: Leejie

While some of us go through Bic lighters one after the other, the Leejie Electric Lighter provides a much smarter solution for under $10. The Leejie comes in five different colors, and it uses a lithium-ion battery. This means it can be lit-up hundreds of times and be used for hours in a row, as long as you charge it with a USB cord.

The Leejie is also moisture- and wind-proof, which means you can use it in even the wettest of weather. This innovative LED, electric lighter definitely beats the disposable gadgets that you can buy at Casey’s or 7-11, as the Leejie is far more durable.

5. The Pink Stuff

Price: $5-$10*
Brand: Stardrops 

According to TikTok, this is a “miracle cleaner.” The hashtag for this product has 404.8 million views, and the Pink Stuff has proven itself to be dirt’s biggest adversary. You don’t just have to take TikTok’s word for it. When The New York Times’ Cleaning Lab tested it out, they found that it was, in fact, a very “effective cleaner,” no matter the mess it was “tackling.”

If you’re not a fan of Clorox bleach as a go-to cleaner, consider scooping up a tub of this pink paste. The Pink Stuff removes grease, grime, dirt, and whatever else from just about any surface in your home. The paste doesn’t leave streaks or scratches, leaving surfaces looking shiny and reflective. On Amazon, the Pink Stuff is the #1 bestseller in the category of “All-Purpose Household Cleaners.”
