Charcoal- infused Biodegradable Toothbrush (Medium/ Navy Blue) – Grin Natural handmade-naturals-by-corinne

Grin Natural makes it easy to take great care of your teeth and gums whilst caring for the environment with the new Charcoal-Infused Biodegradable Brush! This beautifully designed brush is made from sustainable non-GMO corn starch, which means the toothbrush handle is 100% biodegradable. The toothbrush bristles have been infused with a premium activated charcoal which has been recognised for its antibacterial and detoxifying properties for thousands of years. Alongside brushing the charcoal works to keep bacteria at bay whilst absorbing toxins and restoring the whiteness of teeth.

Disposal Instructions:
1. Break off toothbrush head.
2. Discard thoughtfully. Take advantage of our recycling program and return toothbrush heads and toothpaste tubes in store to Handmade Naturals or return directly to Grin using their recycling program. Otherwise, you can check with your local recycling programs to see if suitable.
3. Place the rest of the toothbrush and packaging into your home compost, Commercial compost bin or if not possible, in your rubbish bin.

It takes on average, 1 year for the toothbrush handle to break down into a chalk-like stick in a home compost or 90 days to break down in a commercial compost. 
Whichever way you dispose of your Grin toothbrush, you can be confident that the toothbrush won’t be in landfill for hundreds of years to come – unlike many common toothbrushes today.

Please note: Grin toothbrushes are made from corn starch, a naturally occurring material that is robust for personal use, though may not have the strength of a traditional plastic toothbrush. Caution needs to be used when brushing teeth as heavy/hard brushing may cause the head to snap off. Please note that dentists recommend minimal pressure when brushing teeth to avoid issues like receding gums, enamel erosion and increased sensitivity of the teeth.
