"No Waste"
I love that there is next to no waste with these products and that they work just as well as my old ones. The tooth powder leaves my mouth minty fresh and the shampoo bar leaves my hair feeling really smooth. It’s awesome!

"Dropped the single use sh*tty colourful childlike toothbrushes"
Love my little bathroom kit!! Dropped the single use sh*tty colourful childlike toothbrushes for a classy simple planet friendly toothbrush among all the other upgrades. I've been wanting to try to reduce my impact in simple ways and the bathroom box/kit was an easy all in one. I didn't have to track everything down myself because all the research and sourcing was done. I've already been telling friends, family and even co-workers :D Keep it coming!

"Re-ordering without hesitation"
Not only a fantastic mission, but the quality of the products has me re-ordering without hesitation. I particularly like the classic razor and the soaps!

"Anyone currently using disposables."
Prior to using this razor I was going through a Venus cartridge every week which cost me a ton of money, not to mention the cost to the environment and the associated guilt. This razor costs less, is great quality, and I get fewer ingrown hairs and without nicking myself! I’d recommend the razor paired with the shave bar for anyone currently using disposables.

"Redefines the idea of what I have grown-up thinking"
Sleek. Solid. Single-waste-plastic-reducing. Three ways I would describe this tiny lil boite. The products have been slowly working their way into my daily routine, one by one, replacing the store-bought-wasteful-heavily-branded-one-time purchases, and becoming a sexy little self-sufficiency habit. I specifically adore the toothpaste, as it not only replaces, but redefines the idea of what I have grown-up thinking is toothpaste. How rad. So rad. Simply Rad.

"I’d never used tooth powder, but don’t think I could go back to paste now :)"
A friend told me about life UNpacked when I shared how I’ve become way more aware of how what I buy impacts the environment. I bought the shave bar, soap, tooth powder and toothbrush for starters because I wanted to see the quality. I love all of it! The soaps smell so good and lasts a long time. I’d never used tooth powder, but don’t think I could go back to paste now :) It shipped quickly and I’ll definitely be purchasing more again!

"Not creating extra plastic waste..."
My girlfriend and I have been using the products for the past month or so and we're loving them. The soap and shampoo bars are my personal favorites. Definitely the best smelling soap I've ever bought. The best part for us is that we feel good knowing that we're not creating extra plastic waste with the bathroom products that we buy!

"The floss, lasting me twice as long as any other dental floss..."
Life UNpacked is my new favorite shaving kit money can buy! From initially receiving my package in the mail in an all cardboard box, you can tell the company really cares about making a difference for the environment! My personal favorite product in the kit was the floss, lasting me twice as long as any other dental floss I have bought before! I would highly recommend purchasing one of life UNpacked's shaving kits and making these all natural products part of your home!

"I love how easy it is to go plastic free..."
I love how easy it is to go plastic free with life Unpacked! It has truly changed my bathroom routine. I highly recommend their shampoo bar! It works so great I don't have to use conditioner anymore cause it's all natural. 👍
Kevin
"I'm really loving these products..."
Got my box a few days ago, and I'm really loving these products, they smell awesome and are good quality. The best part for me though is the fact that there is zero waste, and that all the items are either recyclable or compostable. Highly recommend!
Whitney
"Outstanding customer service..."
From the outstanding customer service to what they represent, this is a huge step in the right direction for helping our planet. The swabs are the best, the bamboo is sturdy and the cotton doesn't fall off the end during use like your every day brands.

Our eco-friendly and compostable toothbrushes last just as long as plastic ones, until you dispose of them that is! Their slim design is smooth to the touch and feels great in your hand. With the replaceable head bamboo toothbrush, you can cut your bamboo consumption down even further, as only the top half of the toothbrush needs to be replaced.

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.
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.
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 head, remove the replaceable head, and cut or pull out the bristles and throw them away.
Hang onto your handle and attach a new replaceable head refill.
*Life span will vary based on frequency of use, aggressiveness of the brusher, storage conditions, etc.
CanadaLove this brush! A bit of a misnomer for me though, as I do not have teeth, but need to brush my gums daily. The bristles are soft enough and I love being able to just replace part of the brush.
Hi Janice - thank you so much for the review, we're happy our toothbrush is working for you! It's also helping the planet >3
CanadaI love that there is even less waste by maintaining half the toothbrush! My ONLY comment would be that I wish we could get another colour other than green so that we can easily differentiate our toothbrushes in the shared bathrooms!
Hi Ann! Thanks for suggestion, we'll look into it :) So glad you're enjoying the replaceable head on this bamboo toothbrush; you're creating half the waste now!! Thanks for your support!
CanadaThis toothbrush is so easy to use and hold. It fits perfectly in my hand and does a great cleaning job on my teeth. Thank you for bringing this option in to my life and for my kids as well. As a single father of 3, it is tough to balance everything, but with these eco-friendly options, it makes my life just that much easier! Cheers!
Hi Tom, It sounds like you have quite the handful being a single father of 3. We are glad that we could contribute even a little bit to help to make your life that much easier! :) All the best and wish you and your family of 4 safety through these trying times.
CanadaThese are a neat idea that works pretty well. I haven’t switched the heads yet, but the brush itself works really well and with soft bristles. I’ll report back after a few more months to give an update on changing the heads. Having this type and the other one make it easy for my boyfriend and I to separate our brushes.
Glad you like the idea of this option, Kyla! We just recently added it to our website. The replaceable heads will be up in the next while (once we receive them from our supplier)!
CanadaLove this toothbrush- just the same cleaning without all the plastic waste! :)
Hey Terry - Keep up the great work of using plastic-free items.

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.

Hi Denis - something the simplest things make the greatest impact!
CanadaThis product is AMAZING!! The best actual floss I’ve used; the cutest glass bottle; and feeling great about no wasteful packaging. Will definitely buy more for myself. And I’ve already given it as a gift to friends. (This is the first review I’ve ever written, I really love this product.)
Hi Stephanie - wow thank you so much for the review >3 and thanks for sharing the love with your friends!!
CanadaI am trying to break free from the Flossers brand, and I am quite happy getting back to the old way of flossing and the plastic-free option. The convenience of Flossers was nice though and encouraged me to floss more regularly so I wonder if Life Unpacked can work on some kind of bamboo flosser that you can easily rethread with this floss.
Hi Sherry - glad you're joining the no plastic option :) thanks for the suggestion, we could look into it!
CanadaI love the charcoal floss. It does a great job and is strong enough for my teeth, which are quite tight. Love that even the lid is eco friendly. So many glass containers etc. still have plastic lids.
Hi Lonnie - thanks for the review and for your support! Happy you found the right floss for you and the planet!

CanadaThis is an amazing razor - it's got some weight to it so no need to push when you shave. The shave is clean and close with no bumps. First use, make sure you lather well, especially if you are used to lube strips on disposable razors!! Definitely recommend and will be buying for the rest of my family for Christmas.
Hi Lisa - thank you so much for the review and for your support!! We're glad you're enjoying our razor :) Stoked to be sharing your products with your family soon!
CanadaI've been wanting to buy this product for a while, it's my first safety razor. I'm still getting used to it, it's a bit different from the disposable ones, but I'm really glad I got this zero waste replacement.
Yes it can take some time to adjust but it's totally worth it for the planet!! >3
CanadaI'm so glad I finally made the switch to a reusable razor. I'm sad it took me so long. This razor has a great feel, nice weight and nice look. Look out family, you're all getting one for Christmas!
Hi Blaine! It's never too late and we're so happy you took a chance with one of our razors. Welcome to the Green Groomer family, we'll be ready at Christmas time :)
CanadaThis safety razor is one of the better ones I have used in my lifetime. I have gone through a few (mainly because they have been lost) and this one has been one of my favorites. Main thing is it is well balanced and can go anywhere with me!
That's the goal, Brad, to have one Razor for life - barring you don't lose them ;) We are grateful you are enjoying the product we have and hopefully this one stays with you for quite some time!
CanadaI love that there is no more throwing out my plastic razor every time I need a new one. This is great! Just recycle the razors in to the sharps and away you go. Soooo easy to use and add to the razor head. I bought the bamboo razor handle, but I may give that to my husband so that I can get the new metal one! :)
That is great to hear Sarah! Keep up the awesome work, and if you would like to get a metal razor send us an email at info@lifeunpacked. We would love to add in an extra 'Thank You' for sharing the mission.
