1. An oral care device comprising:
- a) a body formed at least partially from a first polymer derived from a first renewable resource via at least one first intermediate compound, wherein the first polymer is synthetic, and wherein the first intermediate compound is monomeric, and wherein the first polymer is disposed in or incorporated into one or more components of the body, the components selected from a group consisting of a handle, a cleaning head portion, a neck and a grip portion; and
b) at least one contact element extending from the body;
wherein at least one component of the body has a bio-based content of about 10% to about 100% using ASTM D6866-10, method B.
