Care and disposal
Bamboo toothbrush
- Rinse after use and stand it up on its flat base so it drains and dries.
- Replace about every three months, or sooner after being unwell.
- When you are done, pull out the bristles and staple with pliers, compost the handle and recycle the box.
- See the bamboo toothbrush.
Silk dental floss
- Keep the glass jar dry.
- Refill it with our compostable silk refills.
- Used floss can go in home compost where local guidance allows.
Safety razor
- After shaving, loosen the head, rinse the razor and blade, and let everything dry.
- Tighten finger-tight only.
- Put a towel in the sink when changing blades.
- In hard water areas, wipe the head now and then.
Razor blades
- Put used blades straight into a blade bank or a metal tin.
- When it is full, seal it and recycle it with metal.
- Never put loose blades in the bin, and keep them away from children.
Ose Abuwe black soap
- Pinch off a small piece and lather in your hands or on a cloth.
- Keep the rest dry in its tin.
- Patch test first and avoid the eye area.
Shea butter
- Store cool and out of direct sunlight.
- Use clean, dry hands and never let water into the jar.
- If it goes grainy, warm it between your palms and it melts as normal.
Sisal washcloth
- Rinse after use and hang to dry.
- It softens over time but still exfoliates.

Bamboo makeup pads
- Pop used pads in the mesh bag and wash at 30 to 40°C.
- Air dry or tumble dry on low.
- Skip fabric softener to keep them absorbent.
Stainless steel bottle
- Hand wash with warm soapy water. For a deep clean, soak with warm water and bicarbonate of soda, then rinse.
- Keep it out of the dishwasher to protect the insulation and seal.
- Do not freeze, boil or microwave it. Dry with the lid off.
Menstrual cups
- Before first use and between cycles, put the cup in the steriliser, cover with boiling water and leave for about 10 minutes.
- During your cycle, rinse with water and a mild, fragrance-free soap.
- Dry fully and store in the breathable pouch, not an airtight box.
Packaging
- All of it is plastic-free and recyclable.
- Reuse it if you can, then recycle it.
