Source Toothbrush

Let me start by saying that I think I like the packaging as much as the toothbrush. This is a great little replaceable head toothbrush that is made from wood Fiber blended with PLA, a plastic derived entirely from Nebraska maize. Since it's made from 100% renewable resources, that makes it one of the few eco-friendly options in toothbrushes. More importantly, it's reversible so it can be used for right and left-handed people (like me!). Radial bristles--4,000 of them made from Tynex® nylon.

And if that's not enough to entice you, the company was founded by two architects on the
Caribbean island of Tortola who were "fascinated by the idea of a functional and enjoyable toothbrush". And there you have it!

Valchromat

This pigmented wood is made from forest waste. Water resistant, it's an ideal building material for the humid tropics. The organic dyes are infused into the wood and are resistant to fading. Special resins are injected into the wood to make it extremely strong and durable; however, no formaldehyde is used in the manufacturing process and it is non-toxic. Available in 6 colors and 3 finishes, wax, varnish, and oil.
