The carbonisation finishing process provides water resistance and prevents the growth of microbes (bacteria and moulds) during normal use.
THE BRISTLES are made from a BPA FREE polymer resistant to microbial growth during normal use, to ensure safety and durability. The other main question we get asked is about the manufacture of the toothbrushes - YES our toothbrushes are fair trade.
