The questions we get most.

How firm are the bristles?

Choose boar bristles if you prefer a medium-firm feel with more tactile feedback.

Choose horsehair bristles if you prefer a softer, gentler brushing experience.

Are they really plastic free?

Yes. Our bristles are made from natural boar bristles or horsehair not nylon or synthetic “plant-based” bristles.

Some “plant-based” or castor-oil-based bristles are still made from nylon or other synthetic polyamides.

Because our bristles are animal-derived, they aren’t vegan and we’re upfront about that.

How are the bristles sourced & sterilized?

How we source: we work closely with suppliers to ethically source our bristles in the same way hair brush manufacturers do.

Some hairs are taken from the animals during their upbringing, but most are up-cycled from animals already processed for food.

No animals are harmed specifically for bristles; it’s a byproduct that would otherwise go to waste.

Is it perfect? No.

But here’s what we’re facing: it’s the only truly plastic-free toothbrush option available.

Every plastic brush you use sheds microplastics into oceans, poisoning marine life and entering our food chain. Hundreds of millions end up in landfills annually, leaching toxins for centuries.

We’re not contributing to animal agriculture – we’re repurposing waste that already exists.

Until the world stops eating meat, there will be a surplus of boar hair.

We believe using it is better than creating more plastic pollution that harms countless animals and ecosystems.

How we sterilize: Our natural bristles are treated using a strict, multi-stage high-temperature sterilization process.

The bristles are thoroughly steam sterilized at 100°C for 6 hours, and then UV light sanitized.

This strict thermal cleaning removes all biological matter, guaranteeing the bristles are completely sterile, hygienic, and odourless.

Will the bamboo get mouldy?

We steam-carbonize the bamboo at up to 300°C, which sterilizes the wood and strips out the sugars and starches mould feeds on, leaving the handle highly water-resistant. It’s still bamboo, so stand it somewhere it can dry between uses and it’ll go the distance.

How long does each toothbrush last?

Like any normal toothbrush, dentists recommend you replace your toothbrush every 2–3 months with proper hygiene use.

SOLEYA IN THE WILD

20,000+ Canadians have stopped brushing with plastic.

THE PROBLEM WITH PLASTIC BRISTLES

Twice a day, for a lifetime, plastic comes into contact with your gums.

A standard nylon toothbrush can shed nano-scale plastic fibres each time the bristles flex against your enamel. You can’t see them. You can’t taste them. And wherever your saliva goes, they can go too.

You replace the toothbrush every three months. The plastic it already shed stays behind.

Switching to natural bristles removes the source. No nylon in your mouth. No nylon in the trash. No nylon from the bristles entering your bloodstream.

88,000 MICROPLASTIC PARTICLES A PERSON MAY INGEST EACH YEAR, ACCORDING TO RECENT ESTIMATES.

HOW IT’S MADE

Four simple choices.

A toothbrush designed around simpler, more natural materials.

01.

Natural bristles

Boar or horse bristles replace the conventional nylon fibres found on most toothbrushes.

02.

Bamboo handle

The traditional plastic handle is replaced with a simple bamboo alternative.

03.

Pressure-anchored

The natural bristle tufts are mechanically secured directly into the toothbrush head.

04.

Simpler materials

Bamboo and natural fibres make this a simpler-material alternative to a standard plastic toothbrush.

THE COMPARISON

What’s actually touching your gums?

Not every toothbrush marketed as a more natural option removes plastic from the bristles themselves.

A NOTE FROM THE FOUNDERS

We started asking what our toothbrush was actually made from.

Like most people, we had never really questioned it.

We saw bamboo toothbrushes everywhere and assumed they had solved the plastic problem.

Then we looked closer and realized that many of the brushes marketed as more natural were still putting nylon bristles directly into our mouths twice a day.

We wanted something simpler: a bamboo handle paired with genuinely natural bristles, not synthetic fibres hidden behind vague marketing language.

That idea became Soleya.

A small everyday change built around materials that are easier to understand.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Everything else.

A few common questions about making the switch.

Are the toothbrushes vegan?
No. Both options use natural animal hair. If you specifically require a vegan toothbrush, this product will not be suitable for you.
What’s the difference between horse and boar bristles?
Horse bristles are softer and more flexible. Boar bristles have a firmer, more textured feel. If you normally buy soft toothbrushes, horse is usually the better place to start.
How do I look after natural bristles?
Rinse the brush thoroughly after each use, remove excess water and allow it to dry upright in an open, ventilated area.
Do natural bristles feel different?
Yes. Natural fibres have a different texture from synthetic nylon. Most people need a short adjustment period during their first few uses.
How often should I replace my toothbrush?
Replace the brush when the bristles become visibly worn or splayed, or according to the replacement schedule recommended by your dental professional.
