The bamboo toothbrush is a favourite #zerowasteswop for those wanting to reduce their waste. I’ve been using bamboo toothbrushes for years and recently switched to a Kindbrush. Not only is this bamboo toothbrush super cute, but more importantly it has been designed by a registered oral hygienist and has a small head so it can reach the areas in your mouth other toothbrushes can’t. It stands up right, comes in 5 different colours and it is available in adult and kids sizes.

KindBrush

Nature Lover Chrismarié Barnardt is a registered dental hygienist & The Kindbrush founder. Chrismarié’s concern about the impact of traditional oral care products on the global, growing plastic pollution crisis inspired her to create The Kindbrush. Their mission is: Healthy teeth. Happy planet. The Kindbrush range includes a bamboo toothbrush, biodegradable refillable floss in a glass jar as well as a 100% natural lip balm.

For every online order, The Kindbrush donate R5 to Develop Dental, a registered NGO working to increase access to quality dental care and oral hygiene education among children in under-resourced communities in and around Cape Town, South Africa.

The product & the packaging

I use my Kindbrush toothbrush together with earthly toothpaste bits.

The Kindbrush toothbrush is packaged in a cardboard box and the toothbrush itself is made from bamboo and fine, charcoal-infused nylon bristles. Bamboo is biodegradable, water-resistant, antibacterial and antifungal. The flat bottom helps to keep it dry and hygienic. When you replace your toothbrush I recommend you reuse it in other ways before removing the bristles, which can be eco-bricked and compost the handle. I add mine to my cleaning kit and use it to clean in grout lines and other hard to reach spots around the house.

Where to buy?

You can buy a Kindbrush bamboo toothbrush online on The Kindbrush online shop.

Earthly toothpaste bits are a great #zerowaste alternative to single-use plastic tube toothpaste.

About Earthly

Earthly was founded by Dan Van Zyl in 2019, who wanted to make a positive impact. He started making the toothpaste bits from his garage in South Africa! Earthly now sell 2 flavours of toothpaste bits (mint or charcoal) and they also sell bamboo toothbrushes, bamboo travel cases, toiletry bags, soaps, shampoo and conditioner bars as well as combo packs and subscriptions.

The Ingredients & The Packaging:

These bits are made from 100% natural, vegan, plant-based materials. I ordered a 3-month couple subscription that automatically renews every three months. The subscription includes 2 x refillable tins filled with bits + 2 x oxo-biodegradable zip lock bags which contains more bits inside compostable envelopes. 

Where to buy?

You can buy these toothpaste bits on the Earthly website, or you can buy them from Shop Zero’s online store.

Oske is a female-owned brand that makes feminine cruelty-free vegan products. I have yet to try their Fleur Intimate wash but this aqua lubricant is brilliant! 

The Oske Aqua Lubricant is edible, latex safe, toy safe and free from sugar, gluten, alcohol, fragrances, parabens, petroleum, silicon, sulfates and glycerine. It’s usually sold in a plastic tube, but Oske created this amber glass bottle version specially for Shop Zero, one of my favourite places to shop online! The brown kraft paper sleeve can be composted or recycled after use and the bottle can be reused.
