From the makers of Jack n Jill Kids Toothpaste comes an adult offering in natural dental care. The toothbrush handles in the range are made from non-GMO corn starch and are biodegradable like a bamboo toothbrush is but with a much smoother feel. The toothbrush packaging is also biodegradable. Their natural toothpaste is a gel formula with the perfect consistency and comes in original, sensitive, whitening and propolis & myrrh and are made with 70% organic ingredients.

The Natural Family Co - natural dental care for adults.

Biodegradable toothbrushes.

The toothbrush handles are made from non-GMO cornstarch with soft nylon bristles (they're not 'too' soft though). Both the toothbrush hand and all the packaging are completely biodegradable. To dispose of, break off the head, check with local recycling as to whether they will accept the nylon bristles. The brush handle can be put in to home composting and will break down in around 12 months. In commercial composting, it only takes 90 days.

Let's step outside the eco benefits and look at the brush. It's nice to hold, the ergonomics of the curved handle make it easy to use than some other toothbrushes around. While the brushes only come in a soft option, it's actually not too soft, so the firmness sits in the middle of what most people would consider Soft or Medium bristles.

"After road testing this toothbrush, it's all I use now." ~ Joanne Musgrave, Shop Naturally owner.

For cleanliness, you can buy the brushes as a single brush in a resin stand so they never need to touch the bench or other beauty products in your bathroom drawer and then in refill pairs, making them an affordable natural solution. The brushes are available in 4 different colour options.

Single brush & stand:

  • River Mint (pale green)
  • Pirate Black
  • Ivory Desert (white)
  • Monsoon Mist (grey)

Brush twin pack:

  • Pirate Black & Ivory Desert
  • Pirate Black & Monsoon Mist
  • River Mint & Ivory Desert
  • River Mint & Monsoon Mist

Natural Toothpaste.

Their toothpaste gel is made from 70% organic ingredients and contains 25% xylitol, which helps to keep a neutral pH level in your mouth and also prevents bacteria from sticking to your teeth.

This Australian Made gel formula has a firm consistency and is easy to brush with. It is made with Native Australian Rivermint and is fluoride free. While we're all for multi-tasking products in store (apparently you can brush your teeth with Dr Bronner), when it comes to toothpaste, we are all for one dedicated product. This one is available in 4 flavours:-

  • Original - 110g
  • Sensitive - 110g
  • Propolis & Myrrh - 110g
  • Whitening - 110g

The whitening toothpaste is a gentle every day toothpaste with bi-carb soda as the whitening agent. For something more intense, you can try the charcoal teeth whitener from My Magic Mud (be prepared for a bit of a mess in the shower and it will stain your toothbrush)
