About Us
Our Story
Mama Bizu Miswak was founded with a simple mission: bring the natural, time-tested benefits of the miswak to people around the world, while giving back to the communities where it originates.
For centuries, communities across the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia have relied on the Salvadora Persica tree — known as the “toothbrush tree” — for effective, chemical-free oral hygiene.
We source our premium miswak sticks ethically and directly, carefully selecting each piece to ensure the highest quality. Every stick is naturally packed with antibacterial properties, including natural fluoride, silicon, Vitamin C, salvadorine, and trimethylamine — everything your mouth needs for a clean, healthy smile without synthetic additives.
Backed by Science, Rooted in Tradition
Research shows that miswak sticks can produce equal or better results than conventional toothbrushes and toothpaste when used properly. But we’re not stopping there.

Our ongoing research at Oxford University
MSc Nanotechnology for Medicine and Healthcare
Our ongoing research focuses on advancing the miswak stick for contemporary oral care by combating black mold and the lack of a minty fresh after-feel. While still in progress, the research is being conducted under the supervision of Professor Peter Dobson OBE as principal supervisor.
Our work aims to bridge the gap between traditional wisdom and modern science by investigating how we can optimise the miswak’s natural antibacterial compounds and delivery mechanisms.
Our Commitment
At Mama Bizu Miswak, we believe that great oral care shouldn’t come at the expense of your health or the environment. We’re committed to providing the highest quality, sustainably sourced miswak sticks while giving back — 20% of all profits go directly to humanitarian efforts.
