Plastic Free
Natural Health Co Bamboo & Horsehair Toothbrush for Children is a genuinely plastic free bamboo toothbrush made with a bamboo handle and natural medium-soft horsehair bristles. Designed specifically for smaller mouths, it provides an alternative to children's toothbrushes made with plastic handles or synthetic bristles.
Unlike many bamboo toothbrushes that pair a bamboo handle with nylon or other synthetic bristles, Natural Health Co uses natural horsehair bristles. The combination of bamboo and horsehair means the toothbrush is plastic free from handle to bristles.
The horsehair is collected during the regular grooming of horses and is double sterilised before use. The natural horsehair bristles are then pressure-anchored directly into the bamboo handle without glue, keeping the construction simple and avoiding an otherwise easily overlooked synthetic component.
The medium-soft horsehair bristles are designed for children's teeth and smaller mouths and naturally soften further with use. Both the bamboo toothbrush and its packaging are plastic free, making this a particularly useful choice for families specifically looking to reduce plastic in everyday oral care.
As this toothbrush combines bamboo with natural horsehair, the bristles are animal-derived and the product is not suitable for vegans.
Wet the bamboo & horsehair toothbrush and apply a small amount of age-appropriate toothpaste. Brush the teeth gently using small, controlled movements, cleaning the outer, inner and chewing surfaces. Children should be supervised while brushing as appropriate for their age.
After brushing, rinse the bamboo handle and natural horsehair bristles thoroughly, shake off excess water and store the toothbrush upright where there is good airflow. Allowing the bamboo and horsehair to dry properly between uses helps keep the natural materials in good condition.
The natural horsehair bristles will soften with use. For a softer feel from the beginning, run the bamboo & horsehair toothbrush under warm water before brushing.
Is the Natural Health Co Bamboo & Horsehair Toothbrush plastic free?
Yes. The toothbrush is made with a bamboo handle and natural horsehair bristles rather than plastic or synthetic bristles. Its packaging is also plastic free, making it a genuinely plastic free toothbrush option for children.
What is the Natural Health Co children's toothbrush made from?
It combines a bamboo handle with natural medium-soft horsehair bristles. The horsehair bristles are pressure-anchored directly into the bamboo without glue, so both the handle and bristles are made from natural materials.
How is the horsehair used with the bamboo toothbrush sourced?
Natural Health Co states that the horsehair used for its bamboo & horsehair toothbrushes is collected during regular grooming without harming the horses. The natural horsehair is double sterilised before being pressure-anchored into the bamboo handle.
Are the horsehair bristles glued into the bamboo handle?
No. The natural horsehair bristles are pressure-anchored directly into the bamboo handle without glue. This helps Natural Health Co keep the bamboo & horsehair toothbrush free from plastic and unnecessary synthetic components.
Do the horsehair bristles soften with use?
Yes. The natural horsehair bristles will soften with use. You can also run the bamboo & horsehair toothbrush under warm water before brushing if you would like the bristles to feel softer from the beginning.
Is a Bamboo & Horsehair Toothbrush vegan?
No. Although the handle is made from bamboo, the bristles are natural horsehair and are animal-derived. Customers looking for a vegan toothbrush will need to choose an alternative made without animal-derived bristles.
How do I care for a Bamboo & Horsehair Toothbrush?
Rinse both the bamboo handle and natural horsehair bristles thoroughly after use, shake off excess water and store the toothbrush upright with good airflow. Allow the bamboo & horsehair toothbrush to dry between uses rather than storing it wet in an enclosed container.
