About The Humble Co.
The Humble Co. is a Swedish company founded in 2013 by dentist Noel Abdayem after volunteer dental work in Jamaica showed him both poor access to oral care and the waste from plastic toothbrushes. It makes bamboo toothbrushes along with floss, toothpaste tablets, and cotton swabs, and funds oral-health projects through its foundation.
The brand states it is certified by the Vegan Society and Leaping Bunny for being vegan and cruelty-free, and its social model has reached communities in dozens of countries. It is honest that the brushes are not fully plastic-free, since the handle is bamboo but the bristles are BPA-free nylon, which is still a plastic.
