This ash wood massage brush from Andrée Jardin fits nicely in the hand for exfoliation before or during bathing, or for gentle massage. Thermo-treating the ash wood with high temperature steam gives it its beautiful caramel brown color, while making it more resistant to humidity. Simple, functional design combined with classic French craftsmanship is the hallmark of Andrée Jardin products like this one.
Materials: ash wood, hog bristles, cotton (strap)
Made by: Andrée Jardin
Made in: France
Specifications: 4.5" x 2.8" x 1.5"
Care: Rinse the brush after each use and hang to dry. Occasionally wash the brush with vinegar or soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and air dry.
Household brushes made of wood perform best when they're allowed to dry thoroughly between uses. They should never be left to soak in water as this can cause the wood to crack.
Over time, wooden brushes may develop dark spots. This is often confused for mold but is actually due to oxidation and is harmless to both the brush and its user.
Cracks will eventually occur in any wooden brush that's used in water and this is OK and to be expected! Your brush will still function with cracks. If bristles become loose, simply wiggle them out and compost them.
Further Reading: Since 1947, the craftsmen behind the Andrée Jardin brand have been creating simple, durable, and beautifully-crafted brushes in France. These small-batch artisanal pieces are natural and long-lasting, made with wood sourced from sustainably managed forests.
