Handmade from natural Tampico, a form of cactus, this brush has an ideal medium strength vegetable fibre for wet scrubbing. The easy grip handle is made from rubber wood which is sourced from rubber trees at the end of their productive life. Tampico holds 65% more water than plastic, allowing you to scrub your nails without the need for running water and the natural fibres do not bend and flatten. Eco Max Brushes are registered with The Vegan Society, biodegradable, chemical free and ethically handmade in Sri Lanka. Care of your brush: Shake out excess water and stand to dry. Do not leave the timber handle damp or in water for prolonged periods.
