A Planet-Friendly Toothbrush for Tiny Eco-Enthusiasts


WooBamboo brushes utilize organically grown moso bamboo, which is grown naturally, without any added chemicals or pesticides of any kind. Plus, it’s coated in a completely natural wax to keep it silky and dry. The “Sprout” toothbrush for children has super soft bristles and a smaller, child-sized handle that makes it easy to hold for tiny fingers. The handles are completely biodegradable, so they won’t last forever in a landfill like every other brush. You can recycle the bristles, then throw the handle into your compost pile, where it will decompose naturally! Plus, bamboo is naturally antimicrobial. This means that theoretically, you won’t have to worry about bacteria growing in your child’s toothbrush handle.
