Acala Zero Waste Essentials Bag without Razor is a personal care starter kit that brings together plastic-free alternatives for teeth, face and nails in one linen gift bag. It includes a bamboo toothbrush, vegan dental floss, dental tablets, reusable wipes and bamboo cotton buds, so you can try several zero waste swaps in a single purchase.

Key Features

• Six items in one bag: Bamboo toothbrush with charcoal bristles, vegan dental floss, a 3 month supply of minty dental tablets, reusable hemp cotton make-up wipes, reusable nail varnish wipes and bamboo cotton buds.
• Razor not included: Acala offers a double edge safety bamboo razor as an optional addition to this kit. This version is sold without it.
• Vegan dental floss: Made with corn, candelilla wax and peppermint essential oil, so it contains no animal-derived ingredients.
• Bamboo toothbrush handle: The handle is made from bamboo. The bristles are nylon-6 with charcoal, and Acala says they should be removed before the handle is composted.
• Reusable wipes: The make-up wipes and nail varnish wipes are designed to be reused, so there is nothing to throw away after each use.
• Linen gift bag: The items come wrapped in an Acala linen gift bag.
