FINEMEGURU Bamboo Toothbrush with Castor Resin Bristles (Regular) is an eco-friendly toothbrush made from sustainable materials derived from Japanese bamboo, which is biodegradable and returns to the earth.
It is a biodegradable toothbrush made from biomass pellets created from bamboo powder and bamboo fibers.
In an effort to reduce disposable toothbrushes and promote environmentally friendly manufacturing, a revolutionary toothbrush has been developed that not only addresses the plastic waste problem but also helps solve the issue of abandoned bamboo groves within Japan.
The handle of the toothbrush is made from a blend of poly lactic acid resin (biodegradable resin) and bamboo micro-powder. When incinerated after use, it has a lower combustion caloric value and emits less CO2 compared to conventional plastics.
The natural material gives the handle a gentle, authentic feel, making your daily brushing routine more comfortable and pleasant.
A sustainable toothbrush made from plant-based materials that grow within a year.
The handle is made from a blend of poly lactic acid resin (biodegradable resin) and bamboo micro-powder.
All manufacturing is carefully done domestically using domestically managed bamboo.
It is easy to grip and offers a gentle, plant-derived feel during use.
Available in four different bristle types to suit preferences and needs.
The packaging has been changed from OPP bags to a bag made entirely from "bamboo paper," which uses 100% Japanese bamboo.
As a natural material, the toothbrush comes with a two-year usage guarantee from the date of manufacture.
A portion of the proceeds is donated to green fund initiatives.
◆ Reason for the usage guarantee period
Since the materials are natural raw ingredients, they begin to decompose over time.
A usage period of two years is set from the time the resin is molded, with the expiration date indicated on the handle and packaging.
Additionally, safety standards inspections are conducted in accordance with food safety criteria established by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.
◆ Four types of brush materials
- Pig Bristle
Natural and compatible with interdental spaces, with self-wear properties that prevent damage to enamel and gums as the bristles gradually shorten. Recommended for those who prioritize eco-friendliness and natural materials.
- Horsehair
Moderately soft, with bristles that wear down with use, making it less likely to damage enamel or gums. Each bristle has flexibility, providing a gentle brushing experience.
- Castor Resin Bristles
Made from 100% plant-based resin derived from castor seed kernels. Castor oil has been used historically in cosmetics and soap. The bristles are clear, flexible, and comparable in feel to petroleum-based nylon, maintaining consistent performance.
- Ultra-fine Bristles
Excellent in flexibility, resilience, and durability, made from saturated polyester with high cleaning efficiency. The ultra-fine bristles easily reach between teeth and into periodontal pockets. Familiar and comfortable to use, offering a refreshing sense of cleanliness.

A sustainable toothbrush with minimal environmental impact
Every year, approximately 8 million tons of plastic waste are dumped into the world's oceans, causing severe environmental pollution.
Moreover, fish that ingest marine debris can introduce these plastics into the human body through the food chain, posing health risks.
What can we do to curb the wave of environmental destruction and protect the future of our planet? We want to create products that cherish Earth's resources while promoting health, happiness, and a rich life for people.
At Fine Co., Ltd., we have always kept this philosophy in mind, continuously researching and experimenting.
As a result, we successfully developed a handle material made from a blend of poly lactic acid resin and bamboo micro-powder. This led to the creation of the "Bamboo Toothbrush."
Utilizing biomass (plant resources), this toothbrush produces less CO2 during disposal due to its low combustion caloric value, and it does not increase carbon emissions.
Since it is made from plant materials that grow within a year, it also helps conserve valuable resources.
Using this toothbrush, you can feel gratitude for nature and experience a gentle, comfortable feeling that promotes kindness.
If a single toothbrush can contribute to protecting the Earth, that would be wonderful.
