'Be.' (Beyond Electric) is a next-generation electric toothbrush that does away with the plug-ins and batteries that can be found on comparable models.
As Goodwell + Co. describes: "Be. is still a manual toothbrush for all intents and purposes." This is because it uses a twisting mechanism to power the device in place of plugs, batteries and chargers. Two twists of the toothbrush handle is all that's needed to unlock the oral care solution's powerful cleansing abilities.
The eco-friendly and battery-free electric toothbrush boasts charcoal-infused bristles that are 100% biodegradable. Alongside its sustainable Be. toothbrush, Goodwell + Co. also sells all-natural Pacific Mint toothpaste that comes in a compostable package, as well as 100% biodegradable GoodFloss, all of which work to better one's oral health and the environment at the same time.
