CREATE, INNOVATE!

WHO Chrismarié Barnardt WHERE Cape Town BUSINESS Kindbrush HER WORK As a dental hygienist and nature lover living in Sea Point, Chrismarié is deeply concerned about the impact of traditional oral care products on the ever-growing plastic pollution crisis.

Her solution was to create a competitive, ecofriendly alternative to plastic oral care. “The philosophy behind Kindbrush is ‘kindfulness’ – being kind and mindful about one’s own wellbeing, that of others and of the planet,” she says. Chrismarié’s products are made from biodegradable, recyclable elements such as bamboo and glass and include toothbrushes, floss and lip balm. See more at thekindbrush.com.
