A plastic toothbrush takes more than 500 years to decompose, and you throw away four every year. Switching to bamboo changes that. But before you order, there are a few things we prefer to tell you frankly.

Where Does This Bamboo Come From? China.

You will sometimes read "bamboo toothbrush made in France." That's impossible: the bamboo usable for this type of object does not grow in France. Any brand that claims this is telling you a tall tale.

Ours is grown without fertilizers, in uncontaminated agricultural areas, far from industrial sites. Bamboo grows up to one meter a day and regenerates without replanting—that is what makes it a relevant raw material, despite the distance.

What we do control, however, is what happens next:
✓ Shipping is done by train, not by plane
✓ Your brushes arrive without any plastic packaging

♻️ Are the Bristles Biodegradable? No. Here Is What to Do.

This is the question we get asked the most, and the honest answer is no. The bristles are made of nylon infused with vegetable charcoal, like almost all bamboo toothbrushes on the market—including those that claim "100% compostable" on their packaging.

The correct method at the end of its life:

1. Pull out the bristle tuft with pliers (ten seconds).
2. The bristles go in the household trash.
3. The bamboo handle goes in the compost, or the fireplace, or serves as a garden marker in the vegetable patch.

✓ About 90% less waste volume compared to a plastic brush, all of which ends up in a landfill or incinerator.

And the Sensation of Wood in the Mouth?

The handle is polished and untreated:
✓ It does not scrape and leaves no taste
✓ Its ergonomic shape is easy to hold, even when wet

One Animal per Person, No More Confusion

Lion, giraffe, toucan, elephant. Everyone recognizes their own at a glance, including children who cannot read yet. It's simple, and it solves the problem of mixed-up brushes in the bathroom glass.

Soft Vegetable Charcoal Bristles

✓ Soft: they do not damage enamel or gums, and are suitable for sensitive gums as well as children
✓ Fine and crisscrossed: they reach the gaps between teeth
✓ Vegetable charcoal: it limits bacterial growth between brushings, useful when the brush hasn't fully dried

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Why ship by letter rather than parcel?
Packs of up to 20 brushes are packaged to fit in a mailbox. Less packaging, no trips to a pickup point, and a significantly lower carbon footprint than a standard parcel.

Is the bamboo certified?
It is grown without fertilizers in uncontaminated agricultural areas. If forest traceability is a decisive criterion for you, write to us: we prefer to answer precisely rather than slap a label on a page.

How long should I keep a brush?
Three months, just like any toothbrush. After that, the bristles splay and clean less effectively—the material of the handle doesn't change that.

Is it suitable for children?
Yes, the soft bristles are adapted. The 17.5 cm handle is still an adult size: for smaller hands, look at the Caliquo children's brush.
