100% organic bamboo handle with castor-bean-oil bristles, packed in a compostable cardboard box. Handle and bristles are backyard-compostable once the tiny metal staples are removed.

Why we picked it
The handle is organic bamboo and the bristles come from castor bean oil, a plant-based filament in a category that defaults to nylon. Once the small metal staples are pulled, the whole brush composts in a backyard bin. It brushes like any soft-bristle brush, costs under five dollars, and comes in multi-packs for stocking the family bathroom.
What it’s made of
Bamboo, castor bean oil bristles. Chosen for what it’s made of, not what it’s wrapped in.
- Bamboo
- Fast-growing, renewable, and compostable at end of life.
