Why Boar Bristles
Most "eco" toothbrushes still use nylon bristles. Bamboo handle but plastic in your mouth. We don't.
Polish boar bristle, hand-finished into bamboo without glue, sanitized with ozone โ chemical-free, evaporates immediately with no residue.
The way toothbrushes were made for centuries before plastic.

What Matters
Q. Are boar bristles safe to use?
Yes. Boar bristle brushes have been used for oral care for centuries, long before plastic existed.
Theyโre naturally soft, flexible. Used with normal pressure, just like any toothbrush.
Q. Is this brush too rough for gums?
No. Boar bristles are naturally tapered and gentle.
Many people find them less abrasive than stiff synthetic bristles when used with normal pressure.
Q. Is this hygienic?
Yes. The bristles are sanitized with ozone โ a chemical-free process that kills bacteria and pathogens, then evaporates completely with no residue.
Q. Do boar bristles shed?
A few bristles may settle in the first few uses โ this is how natural, glue-free brushes break in.
Bamboo handles expand slightly with humidity and bristles set without adhesives need to find their position. Most of our customers notice nothing past the first 1-2 uses.
Q. How long does one brush last?
Each brush lasts 1.5-2 months with twice-daily use. Boar bristle is a natural fiber โ it wears as it works.
Q. Is this brush vegan?
No.
This brush uses natural boar bristle, which is an animal-derived material.
We believe transparency matters more than labels.
Manufacturing
We don't pretend our supply chain is American โ we're honest about where things come from.
For current stock, our process is:
Bamboo is sourced from Sanming, Fujian Province, China โ where it grows best.
The handle is carved from a single piece of bamboo. No glue, no laminate, no chemicals at any stage.
Boar hair is sourced from Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, China โ a region with a long tradition of boar bristle brush-making.
The bristles are sanitized with ozone โ a chemical-free process that kills bacteria and pathogens, then evaporates completely with no residue.
You might notice powder coming off the bristles when you first open it and run your finger through them.
That's natural bristle dust from our tip-rounding process โ we sand each bristle tip smooth so it's gentle on your gums. We air-blow the bristles after sanding to remove most of it, though some can still remain.
Harmless and non-toxic.
Just rinse with warm water before first use.
Bristles are attached using brass sheets (62% copper, 38% zinc) โ no glue, no other chemicals.
Assembly happens in China.
The package itself is unbleached carton, sealed with kraft tape โ no plastic anywhere in the box.
Shipping
We put in extra effort to ensure our packaging is natural too. Items are packed in a carton box, and sealed with kraft sealing tape.
We ship directly from our production facility to reduce unnecessary transport and handling.
As we grow, we plan to expand our warehouses internationally to be able to fulfill locally.
