Bamboo Toothbrush

In the US 1 billion plastic toothbrushes are discarded annually. All this plastic has a nasty habit of making its way into our oceans and our wildlife. It contributes to the estimated 165 million tonnes of plastic pollution in the world’s waterways alone. A bamboo toothbrush is a fantastic alternative to the typical plastic or nylon toothbrush. 

Charcoal bristles are known to absorb chemicals such as chlorine from tap water. The charcoal works by acting like a magnet for plaque and tannins that may stain teeth. This effect is enhanced by combining their charcoal bristle toothbrush with activated charcoal toothpaste!
