There’s plastic in your toothbrush.
And it doesn’t stay there.
Every nylon-bristle brush sheds microscopic plastic as you scrub — twice a day, for years. Researchers have now detected microplastics in human blood, saliva and tissue. A miswak is just wood. There’s nothing to shed.
- Nylon bristles + plastic handle
- Worn bristles shed microplastics into your mouth as you brush
- Billions thrown away yearly — they never fully break down
- One piece of natural Salvadora persica wood
- No bristles, no coating — nothing to shed
- 0 plastic, 0 microplastics — 100% biodegradable
If any of these are on the ingredients list, you are brushing with liquid plastic:

Your toothbrush shouldn’t end up inside you.

Common questions.
It replaces your plastic toothbrush. Many people use it on its own, others together with their usual toothpaste. Dentists recommend fluoride toothpaste for protection against cavities, so you are welcome to keep using yours.
Each stick lasts 2-3 weeks with regular use. Simply trim the used bristles and peel fresh bark to expose a new brushing surface.
The natural fibres are soft, and many people find them gentle. Brush lightly and don't scrub along the gums. If you have very sensitive teeth or gums, ask your dentist first, and see your dentist if anything feels sore.
Mildly earthy with a fresh, slightly spicy finish from the natural essential oils. Most people describe it as surprisingly pleasant and clean.
Each stick is vacuum-sealed in a thin plastic sleeve to keep it fresh and hygienic. The stick itself is 100% natural wood.
Keep sticks in their sealed sleeve in a cool, dry place until you use them. After brushing, rinse the stick and let it air-dry; don't keep it wet in a closed container. Don't use a stick that shows fuzzy growth or keeps a musty smell after trimming.
Not children under 3: small pieces and fibres can come off. Older children should use it only under adult supervision and while sitting still.
