Summary

A conventional disposable brush: petroleum plastic handle and nylon bristles, with no recycled-content or BPA-free claim. The charcoal is in the name and color more than the bristles — Colgate doesn't quantify it — and the whitening claim depends on pairing it with peroxide toothpaste. Scored like other plastic brushes such as Oral-B Dual Clean.
