Kindbrush
Cape Town bamboo oral care, founded by an oral hygienist for families who want plastic-free brushing.
Shop now →The story
The range is narrow on purpose: adult and kids bamboo toothbrushes, plus a refillable floss-in-a-glass-bottle system that eliminates the small plastic floss containers that pile up in bathroom bins. The bamboo handle is biodegradable, the bristles are recyclable nylon, the packaging is plastic-free, and the dental hygienist origin shows in the brush head geometry and bristle softness. The brand is endorsed by dental professionals across South Africa and is designed for families who want to make the swap from plastic without giving up clinical brushing quality.
I would not give my patients a tool I could not stand behind clinically. The bamboo is the easy part. Getting the bristle action right took the work.The Kindbrush Founder, Oral Hygienist, Cape Town
What makes them different
-
01
Hygienist-Founded
Designed by a practising oral hygienist from Cape Town. The brush head geometry and bristle softness reflect clinical brushing recommendations, not just sustainable packaging optimisation.
-
02
Biodegradable Bamboo
The handle is sustainably grown bamboo, biodegradable and compostable once the bristles are removed. Bamboo is naturally anti-bacterial and anti-fungal, which is part of why it works as a toothbrush material in damp bathroom environments.
-
03
Refillable Floss System
Floss-in-a-bottle is the brand's solution to the plastic-floss-container problem. The glass bottle holds the floss; refills slot in without adding new plastic. One bottle, ongoing refills, no landfill waste.
-
04
Family Range
Adult and kids' toothbrushes share the same construction at appropriate sizes. The whole family can swap to plastic-free brushing without buying two different brand systems for adults and children.

The Kindbrush Floss In A Bottle
Touring the range
Three doorways into the brand: entry, classic, specialty.
Kids bamboo toothbrush
The kids' brush is often the easiest first swap. Children take to bamboo without complaint, and the softer bristles suit developing gums.
Floss-in-a-bottle system
The refillable floss bottle is the second product to add. Replace your plastic floss container once with a glass bottle, then top up with refill spools forever.
Floss refills
Once you own the bottle, this is the only thing you buy. The refill spool drops into the existing glass bottle. No new plastic with each purchase.
