Sustainability
This kids’ bio toothbrush is a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic brushes because its handle is made from 100% non-GMO cornstarch, a renewable and biodegradable material derived from corn. Unlike conventional plastics that contain harmful chemicals and take hundreds of years to break down, cornstarch-based materials naturally compost and return to the earth without leaving toxic residues. The soft nylon bristles are recyclable, helping to minimize waste further when disposed of properly. By combining biodegradable materials with thoughtful recycling options, this toothbrush supports eco-friendly habits and helps reduce plastic pollution.

About If You Care
Jack N' Jill Kids is a natural toothpaste for babies, toddlers and children that is safe to swallow. It was first made in Melbourne, Australia in 1949 and it has been our family business for more than 20 years. It continues to be made in Australia and we are excited that Jack N' Jill Kids is now available in more than 50 countries.A few years ago we had our first child and immediately joined many parents the world over who are concerned about current environmental issues and the direct effects they have on our children. We started to question everything he came into contact with, not wanting to expose him to unnecessary additives and chemicals. We felt frustrated about the lack of choice in early childhood oral hygiene and personal care. With a background in pharmacy, we set out to formulate the absolute safest products for our kids and yours. In the process, we also made safe, fun and eco friendly!
What are people saying about the Kids Bio Toothbrush?
How to use
Using the kids’ bio toothbrush is easy and similar to any standard toothbrush. Start by applying a small amount of toothpaste to the soft, rounded nylon bristles. Gently brush your child’s teeth in small, circular motions, making sure to clean all surfaces thoroughly. After brushing, rinse the toothbrush well with water to remove toothpaste and debris. Allow it to air dry between uses to keep it hygienic. When the bristles become worn or frayed, it’s time to replace the toothbrush.
For disposal, break off the toothbrush head and recycle the nylon bristles if your local program accepts them, then compost the cornstarch handle to minimize environmental impact.
