Made from 100% natural cotton flannel. Edges are surged for durability and to prevent fraying. 

Care: First if needed, loosen stains with a cold rinse, then a warm wash with your detergent of choice. Tumble dry or air dry.

Reduce your plastic footprint with this biodegradable Brush With Bamboo toothbrush!

It is made of a bamboo handle which is highly sustainable, pesticide free, and made from Giant MOSO Bamboo (not part of the Giant Panda's diet), which grows wild in China. Bamboo is also naturally anti-bacterial, anti-microbial and anti-fungal. The natural plant based bristles are made in the USA with Castor Bean Oil. These bristles are both soft and comfortable while the capillary action absorbs more plaque than standard nylon bristles. The contoured shape make for a superior clean. Quality control is maintained by the Manufacturer's Family and overseen to ensure fair labour practices.

Ingredients: Giant MOSO Bamboo is used exclusively in the handle. Bristles are 62% USA grown Castor Bean, and 38% nylon (which is added only for strength, and handle adhesion. This is the minimum amount of nylon allowed by the FDA. It's as close as you can get to all-natural bristles!)   Organic  GMO-free  Vegan

Designed by a California, USA company, ethically made in China.

Hemp and bamboo make one of the most sustainable fabrics. They are hypo-allergenic and non-irritating to the skin. The fabric provides all the warmth and softness of a natural textile and is exceptionally durable and strong.

*Do not use fabric softener or dryer sheets as these can decrease absorbency (an eco friendly option like wool dryer balls are a great alternative).

Let's opt out of this "disposable" culture and start reusing everyday essentials. An easy start is to acquire and use cloth napkins instead of the paper versions. This mini version is fantastic for carrying around with you no matter where you are or what you're up to. Though it's small enough to fit into your pocket or a clutch purse, it's all you need to wipe the sauce off your face, eliminate the spill on the table, or clean greasy fingers. Use like you would a paper napkin with one small distinguishing factor: don't dispose of it out after one use! Once your napkin is dirty, throw it in the laundry and reuse your clean napkin again and again. *Price is per napkin.
