The Binchotan Toothbrush is made using traditional Japanese charcoal called Binchotan. The Binchotan is infused in a powder form inside the toothbrush's bristles, coloring them a strangely black hue. When the Binchotan Toothbrush is used, the charcoal naturally combats bacteria build-up, [fights bad breathe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teeth-whitening-breath-strips) and brushes away plaque and food residue. Made in Japan, Steven Alan's Binchotan Toothbrushes come in an array of fun, vibrant colors.
