Description
Made from Wheat Straw, a byproduct left over after wheat grains are harvested, and typically considered to be waste, this toothbrush is unique in its sustainable composition.
To take healthy living a step further, the bristles are made of Bamboo Fiber and infused with Activated Charcoal. Charcoal has antimicrobial properties which help reduce bacteria and plaque activity in the mouth, thereby removing extrinsic stains.
Ergonomically designed to maintain your oral hygiene, the Wheat Straw Toothbrush is an environmentally-friendly, a unique upgrade from standard plastic brushes, which takes centuries to bio-degrade.
What’s In:
Brush – Wheat Straw
Bristles – Bamboo and Activated Charcoal
What’s Out:

Ethico says
A pleasing natural wood color, the bamboo bristles have a medium firmness, which makes brushing a gentle experience. We would recommend you follow care instructions to get the most out of your toothbrush – Dry it after each use and let it get some air. Store it in a well-ventilated space. Change your brush after every two months.
About the brand
Almitra Sustainables was co-founded by Anamika Sengupta and her husband Biplap Dutta, on World Environment Day – 5th June 2018. Inspired by the birth of their son, Anamika was eager to lead a more sustainable, healthy and environmentally friendly lifestyle. The first change she made was switching from a plastic toothbrush to replace it with a bamboo brush; so that her family could start the day without plastic in their mouth.
Anamika is hopeful to make Almitra Sustainables products readily available for everyone in the most cost-effective manner possible.
