100% biodegradable toothbrush with activated charcoal-coated bristles

Available in adult and child sizes

PearlBar's Bamboo & Charcoal Toothbrush is a game changer, full stop. We hadn't really thought about biodegradable toothbrushes until this Australian company told us that plastic toothbrushes create over 50 million tons of landfill waste in the US every year. And plastic takes about 1000 years to break down, causing long-lasting damage to the environment (especially marine life) while it kicks around.

So of course we immediately thought, "What have we been doing with these horrible, definitely-not-biodegradable plastic toothbrushes that we throw away every 3-4 months? Are we crazy?" Possibly, but these wonderful little toothbrushes will restore your sanity; plus, the activated charcoal in the bristles detoxifies and deodorizes your mouth, balancing PH levels while absorbing odors. Oh, and they'll look beautiful in your bathroom.

After you've used your PearlBar toothbrush for 2-3 months, just bury it in the dirt somewhere. (It will feel crazy, but in a good way.) It's 100% biodegradable in soil within 6 months, and if you don't happen to live near the woods or a place where you can bury it in the soil, you can compost it or — in a pinch — recycle it.

While these bristles are described as "medium," we'd say they're actually quite soft.
