Plant-Based Bristles
For a long time, we avoided bringing out a bamboo brush as we weren’t happy with the bristle options. The bristles in most brushes either contained mainly Nylon (made from crude oil!) or if you wanted a natural source it was from boar’s hair (Not Vegan!!).
After months and months of searching, we finally found our new bristles which we can proudly say are fully plant-based AND compostable!!
The bristles on our PÄRLA BRUSH are uniquely made of castor beans and can be fully composted with the brush. Unlike nylon which is made of crude oil and breaks down into harmful molecules. When our 100% plant-based castor bean oil bristles break down they degrade into positive nutrients which can be used by other plants!
They can be composted at home but much faster in an industrial compost where the specific conditions speed up the composting process.
