Twig brings back an old method of brushing teeth with their natural biodegradable toothbrush
Twig is actually pretty ancient, also known as a Miswak natural toothbrush it has been a common method of brushing teeth for over 5000 years. In the days before plastic was even invented, Ancient civilisations such as the Egyptians, Romans, Babylonians, and Arabs used Twig. We think that’s pretty cool!
Our purpose here is to raise awareness of Twig as a natural, sustainable and effective method of brushing your teeth. In 2019 we began to think about what a difference we could make to the world if everybody used Twig. We could save water, waste and micro-plastics from toothpaste from getting washed into our oceans and our teeth would all be sparkly clean! To think you can get all you need in oral hygiene from a stick…. seems crazy right? But mother nature holds all the answers we need! Twig is naturally antibacterial, can whiten teeth and wipe off stains, and once you’ve used it up you can just chuck it on the compost and it will decompose naturally!
