Sisal Fibre – medium strength fibre from the succulent Agave sisalana Plentiful Fibres – the head is full and fluffy with abundant fibres Natural Fibre – unlike plastic bristles which retain their sharp edge when cut, natural fibres have a soft rounded edge to prevent damage to your skin Non Toxic Plastic Free Biodegradable – Compost to breakdown naturally Ethically Handmade Remember that your brush is made from natural fibres and much like your cotton bath towel you need to treat it well to prolong its life and stop it developing mildew. As your brush will accumulate the dead skin cells from daily dry body brushing, wash in warm water regularly with an antibacterial soap, shake out excess water and hang brush to dry in the sun. Never leave your brush soaking in water or in a damp environment. Once your brush has reached the end of its life, throw it in with your compost, once the fibres have broken down retrieve the wire and recycle at your local scrap metal collection point.
