Redecker’s wooden products are natural, untreated beechwood. The wood is not sealed using toxic chemicals (unlike many other collections/brands) and consequently when used cracking can occur. This is not a product fault – it is the nature of wood as it naturally expands and contracts when it comes into contact with water. you are making a difference: Redecker is a third-generation family business specialising in hand-crafted brushes made traditionally by highly skilled blind brush makers.
