Bamboo Toothbrush - Adult
Regular price $6.25 10You’re going to use over 300 toothbrushes in your lifetime to keep your dentist happy, now you can keep the planet happy too.
Your teeth and gums will love the softness of these bristles and your mouth will be left feeling clean and fresh.
Our bamboo toothbrushes last just as long as a plastic one, until you dispose of them that is! Their slim design is smooth to the touch and feels great in your hand.
Smile wide with every brush knowing you’re no longer contributing to the millions of pounds of plastic toothbrushes being tossed into the landfill each year.
Bristle Type: Soft
Plastic toothbrush.
Billions of plastic toothbrushes end up in the landfill each year where they take upwards of 450 years to start to break down.
Handle: Bamboo
Bristles: Nylon*
*The most all natural option for bristles on the market right now is boar hair, and that to us is a bit out there. There is presently no option for biodegradable bristles, however, our bristles are BPA-free meaning they won't leach toxins.
- Wet your bamboo toothbrush.
- Tap off all excess water.
- Dip the corner of your bamboo toothbrush into your life UNpacked tooth powder. *Less is more - You don’t need much.
- Brush like normal, spit, and rinse. *Be careful not to swallow. (Brushing pulls toxins from your teeth and gums and it's best not to re-ingest those!)
Bamboo toothbrushes are shipped in a biodegradable box. This packaging can be thrown into your recycle bin.
Typical Life Span: 3-4 months*
When it’s time to retire your toothbrush, simply cut or pull out the bristles and throw them away; the rest of the handle can be discarded in your compost bin.
*Life span will vary based on frequency of use, aggressiveness of the brusher, storage conditions, etc.

Canada95% less waste!
I say 95% less, because I still think the bristles being BPA are a bit hard to recycle. But I love that the majority of the brush can just go in my garden or in my compost. I typically reuse the bamboo toothbrush handle as stakes in my garden! :) Reduce, reuse, recycle... plus I heard there were other R's - refuse & repurpose!

Hey Jeff - you are bang on with the waste being decreased dramatically! We will have a bristle that is 100% compostable as well in the near future. Then you can change your statistic again! :)

Tooth Powder Refill
Regular price $6.50 10We’ve eliminated the need for those finicky plastic tubes and the ongoing debate of whether to squeeze toothpaste from the middle of the tube or the end!
Your mouth will love the fresh taste of mint and your teeth will be left feeling squeaky clean.
Our tooth powder is an easy to use alternative to toothpaste, just dip and brush!
Plus, by switching to tooth powder you’re saving plastic toothpaste tubes from the landfill. Simply store your tooth powder in this stylish, frosted glass container and top it up with a refill (shipped in a compostable paper bag!) in your next order.
Quantity: 30 g
Tubed toothpaste.
Regular plastic toothpaste tubes can technically be recycled, but sadly very few people go to the effort to rinse them out, meaning they almost always end up in the landfill.
Tooth powder replaces the need for plastic toothpaste tubes and allows you to refill and reuse instead.
Dicalcium Phosphate, Calcium Carbonate, Silicon Dioxide, Xylitol, Stevioside, DL-Menthol
- Unscrew the lid. *Be careful as you do this to prevent spilling the powder. It is best to open the container in a vertical position with the bamboo lid facing up.
- Wet your life UNpacked bamboo toothbrush.
- Tap off all excess water.
- Dip the corner of your toothbrush into the tooth powder. *Less is more - You don’t need much.
- Brush like normal, spit, and rinse. *Be careful not to swallow. (Brushing pulls toxins from your teeth and gums and it's best not to re-ingest those!)
Your tooth powder will be shipped in a compostable paper bag that can be thrown into your compost bin.
Typical Life Span: 3-4 months*
Tooth powder dissolves to nothing, so you don’t need to worry about disposing of it!
*Life span will vary based on frequency of use, storage conditions, etc.

Best tooth paste powder - no baking soda
This product is awesome - so easy to use and does a great job. I’ve been using this for almost 16 months now and my dentist has said each time that my teeth are looking healthy and clean! The minty fresh taste is still one of my favourite leave behinds, along with my teeth feeling super smooth after each brushing. Thanks for making such a great product that creates zero waste! :)

Love the powdered toothpaste!!!
This stuff works wonders. Finally a company that gets it! With all the waste we create in our lives, I at least can help out from not throwing away anymore of those darn tubes. I bought one of each size of the bamboo containers with powdered toothpaste to see which one would work better for me. I’m glad I did because both ended up working great in different ways. The 10g one gives me enough to clean my teeth for a week or 2 away and the 20g one I can be away from home for up to a month (with some to spare). It’s perfect because the refill is 30g(ish) so I can refill both containers at the same time!!!

Cleans great, and has a great taste to it!
While I love the idea of Tooth Powder, I like to use toothpaste with fluoride as I believe it is important for healthy teeth. It cleans great, and has a great taste to it, but it wasn’t personally for me. No need to wet your toothbrush, simply dip and start brushing, it foams from the moisture in your mouth to give you a good clean.

Body wash.
Everyone loves a good lather, but the loofah and body wash you’re using means you’re likely scrubbing up with bacteria and plastic.

At life UNpacked our soap is 100% natural, chemical-free, and biodegradable.. So take it with you on your next outdoor adventure.
Travel Size:

This soap is some of the best, most refreshing soap I have ever used. I absolutely love it! It's all natural, organic, vegan, gluten free ingredients are some of the most healthy ingredients I have ever seen or used for my personal care products.

Moisturizing with a fresh scent!
I have always loved handmade soap. I’ve been gifted it by many people, but have never attempted to make it myself. This soap is so much more moisturizing than regular soap, which leaves my skin dry and flakey, this soap from life UNpacked really loves my skin. With a fresh scent, and the option of purchasing a small travel tin, this is sure to be your next go to soap, which you can take anywhere. Going to the pool? Bring your soap! Going camping? Bring the soap! Staying in a hotel? You got it, bring this soap! It is sure to help you feel extra squeaky clean!

Floss with Glass Container
Regular price $6.25 9No more cleaning those pearly whites with petroleum!
This floss will leave you feeling like you’ve just come back from the dentist.
Our dental floss is made from corn fiber and is lightly coated with candelilla wax for slide.
You can smile each time you use it knowing you’re no longer using traditional plastic floss containers and saving marine life with this biodegradable alternative. Simply save your stylish glass container and top it up with a refill (shipped in a compostable paper bag!) in your next order.
*Corn floss is best for those with wider teeth.
*Does not contain polyester.
*Bamboo floss is best for those with tight teeth.
*Unfortunately this does contain polyester, which means it is not compostable and must be thrown in the garbage after use.
Quantity: 30 m
Nylon dental floss.
Traditional dental floss is usually made from either nylon (petroleum), teflon (the chemical mouthful polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)), or synthetic wax (petroleum).
These toxins can be absorbed into your bloodstream during those times that you floss a little too hard, or it’s been, say, longer than the suggested three times a day since your last floss.
Discarded dental floss cannot be recycled, takes 30-80 years to break down, and can be harmful to wildlife.
Glass floss containers replace the need for plastic dental floss containers and allow you to refill and reuse instead.

Corn Fiber, Candelilla Wax (from the Candelilla shrub/de l’arbuste Candelilla), Mentha Piperita (Peppermint Essential Oil/Huile Essentielle de Menthe Poivrée)
Bamboo Floss:
Bamboo Fiber, Polyester, Candelilla Wax (from the Candelilla shrub/de l’arbuste Candelilla), Mentha Piperita (Peppermint Essential Oil/Huile Essentielle de Menthe Poivrée)
Body: Glass Lid: Stainless Steel- Pull out about 18 inches of floss, cut on the lid of the container.
- Wind the floss around your fingers (no need to get all tangled!).
- Slide floss gently up and down between your teeth. *Take care around your gum line.
- At the gum line, curve floss into a C-shape against your tooth and gently slide into the space between the gum and your tooth.
- Repeat for each tooth.
- Cheese to check out those pearly whites.
*Keep your container for future refills.
If you ordered a floss container: Your floss will be shipped inside. Keep this container and use it again and again. The floss and container will be shipped in a biodegradable box. This packaging can be thrown into your recycle bin.
If you did not order a floss container: Your floss will be shipped in a compostable paper bag that can be thrown into your compost bin.
Typical Life Span: 2 months*
Corn: After using your corn floss, simply toss it into your compost bin.Bamboo: After using your bamboo floss, simply toss it into your garbage bin.
Your glass floss container will last you for years to come, so keep it and use it again and again.*
In the unlikely event you need to dispose of your glass floss container, it can be tossed in your recycle bin.
*Life span will vary based on frequency of use, storage conditions, etc.

CanadaExcellent ethical products
I just received my first order from Life Unpack and so far I couldn't be happier. The shampoo bar is fantastic! I have thick curly hair and was frankly unconvinced that it would do the job. I was totally wrong and am now a happy convert. Not only did the shampoo bar clean my hair beautifully but it also moisturized it, eliminating the need for a separate moisturizer. I also bought the razor, which is the best I have ever owned and pretty to boot (I have the rose gold). The toothbrush is just the right size and feels good with its bamboo handle. Wish the bristles were compostable too but I guess you just haven't been able to find anything suitable. My package arrived quickly and the entire experience with Life Unpacked has been nothing short of easy, satisfying and happy. Thank you for helping the earth recover by providing these ethical and amazing products!

Great alternative to shampoo in a bottle.
The Shampoo Bar is a great alternative to shampoo, it is 100% natural, and doesn’t strip your hair of its natural oils, eliminating the need for a conditioner. I’ve never used a Shampoo Bar, so it was great to experience something different. It lathers perfectly for a great wash. Unfortunately it isn’t for me, as I have long and extremely thick hair, I couldn’t quite get enough to really give my hair a good wash. Though, my hair is shiny and less frizzy because of it! Perhaps in the future we will see shampoo? I do love the idea of the bar!
