Idea
Brushbox deliver beautiful, eco-friendly oral care products straight to subscribers’ doors, every other month, right when they need them.
>70% of the UK population don't replace their toothbrush when they should, and this contributes towards 80% of adults having at least one filling, and tooth decay being the #1 reason for children taking time off school - this is a problem.
With 3.6bn plastic toothbrushes ending up in landfill or our oceans each year, and with heightened customer awareness around plastic, our bamboo brushes provide a great solution to meet the increasing need for sustainable plastic alternatives.
The oral care market exceeded sales of £1.3bn in 2017 in the UK with toothbrushes & toothpaste making up 73% of the sector's sales. The UK subscription box market is also forecast to grow by 72% to £1bn by 2022. We’re aiming to disrupt these markets & replicate the success seen in other health, beauty & grooming sectors.
Since Jan’ 2018 we have delivered 3,000 boxes across the UK, donated 5,000 toothbrushes through our 'Buy 1, Give 1' partnership with Dentaid, been named the #1 start-up to watch in Wales, & have been recognised by the Welsh government as a high growth, high potential business.
We’re raising investment to make key hires, expand our product range, and launch our UK-wide partnership programme with dentists.
