Tampico Scrub Brush - Natural Vegetable Fiber

Armstrong's All Natural is a small Brooklyn maker of leather, shoe, and fabric care. It began when a furniture maker, tired of switching between work boots and dress shoes, went looking for a petroleum-free leather care that wouldn't over-saturate - and, not finding one, started making it.

After more than a year of testing, the formulas came together using ingredients from small family farms. Everything is still made by hand in small batches with natural ingredients and recyclable packaging, and the brushes and daubers are built from natural materials like American wood, horsehair, and plant fiber.
