🌿 Made from guava plant
🇺🇬 Sourced from Uganda
♻️ Plastic-free alternative
🪥 Simple, traditional oral care
🌱 Plant-based & natural
Perfect for anyone looking to make small, more conscious swaps in their everyday routine.
Natural products can vary in colour, texture and shape — making each one unique.
Please note: Before first use, gently chew the end of the guava stick to soften and separate the fibres, creating the natural bristle-like texture needed for brushing. This may take a little time initially, but once prepared, it’s ready to use as a natural toothbrush.
Care
Natural loofahs arrive quite firm because they’re dried plant fibres. Getting them ready only takes a minute:
What to do:
Soak in warm water for 3–5 minutes to soften and expand the fibres.
Rinse well to remove any loose plant particles.
Give it a gentle squeeze — never twist hard, as this can tear the fibres.
Daily habits that help:
Rinse thoroughly after each use to remove soap and skin cells.
Shake out excess water.
Hang it somewhere airy — ideally outside the main spray area of the shower.
Avoid leaving it in a damp pile or closed container.
Time to swap it out if you notice:
Persistent musty smell
Dark spots or mould
Fibres breaking apart easily
