Tangle Teezer updates classic brush with plant-based materials

Tangle Teezer has redesigned its Original brush using 85% sustainably sourced, plant-based materials.

Designed with the brand's patented two-tiered teeth technology, the new Plant Brush promises the same high performance as its previous range. It is available in four different colourways: Marshmallow Pink, Earthy Purple, Sunny Orange and Deep Sea Blue.

85% of the Plant Brush is made from sustainably grown and harvested castor beans, which are transformed into an innovative bio-plastic. This process reduces dependence on fossil fuels as a source of raw materials, opting instead for renewable energy sources.

Priced at £17, the Plant Brushes are available at Tangle Teezer, Boots and Lookfantastic.
