Well-known drugstore chain now with vegan organic toothbrushes in the range

New vegan wooden toothbrush from dm made from renewable raw materials

Many people are unaware that animal products are found in many toothbrushes, for example as carriers in plastic. However, there are also vegan alternatives. The drugstore chain "dm" has now brought one on the market: a wooden toothbrush, which consists of renewable resources.

Regularly brush your teeth

Regular brushing is the most effective way to prevent tooth decay, gingivitis and unpleasant toothache. But it also depends heavily on the right technology. For example, shaking and stroking is useful, according to dentists. Another important factor is choosing the right toothbrush. Too hard bristles should never be used. Many experts recommend the strengths "soft" or "medium soft". The bristles of a new toothbrush of the drugstore chain "dm" are "medium". The product is celebrated by customers but above all because of sustainability.

Toothbrush made of wood

The drugstore "dm" has presented a new product on Instagram, which has met with an extremely positive response from users: a wooden toothbrush.

The toothbrush of the "dm" brand Alverde "is made of FSC-certified beech wood and is free of petroleum and pesticides," the company writes.

"By using wood from Switzerland, long transport routes are avoided," it continues.

And: "The bristles are made of up to 100% biologically renewable raw materials".

Positive reactions

Many Instagram users commented very positively on the "dm" contribution.

"Find it very great that you make toothbrushes made of wood!" Wrote, for example, "charlotte.kr". And: "I will buy it".

Others criticized in their comments, however, that "bamboo would be cooler". In addition, concerns were raised regarding the hygiene of the wood product. (Ad)
