"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. 👍

"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!

"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.
Bamboo Toothbrush - Adult
Regular price $6.69 15You’re going to use over 300 toothbrushes in your lifetime to keep your smile looking perfect and keep your dentist happy. With an eco-friendly sustainable zero waste bamboo toothbrush you, your dentist, and our planet will all be smiling together.
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.
Smile wide with every brush knowing you’re helping Canada and our planet cut down on 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.
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.
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.
CanadaWhen I first ordered 2 corn floss, the first spool took a while to work around, as it would often break apart while trying to use, if I tried to use one section of the floss enough times. I nearly gave up on use, but later discovered that the first spool was defected. The 2nd spool with my order held up really well, only broke maybe once or twice). Sure, the disclaimer in product description advised that it should be reserved for those who have wider teeth ( I have narrower teeth), but decided to give this one a go, since at the time I ordered, the corn floss was the only compostable floss option I had at the time. Looking forward trying out the new bamboo charcoal, now that there is a compostable floss option for narrower teeth. Overall, pretty satisfied with the integrity of the floss I have ordered with LifeUnpacked :)
Thank you so much Patti for the feedback! We're glad you're enjoying our corn floss. And yes, all our floss are now compostable and biodegradable! Thanks for your support!
CanadaAfter about 6 months of using these brushes, which have bristles of the exact perfect softness and durability, I went for a dental check up. For the first time ever, my gums were in great shape and I didn't have a single cavity. I am totally sold on this brush and am passing them out to family and friends. And, best of all, no plastic in the ocean!!
Wow that's amazing Beth, we're so happy that our bamboo toothbrush is making your trip to the dentist smoother :) Thanks for the review and for spreading the message to everyone!!
CanadaThe brush is just the right softness to gently brush gums. Toothbrush is lightweight. Love it! The best part, is that every time I use the brush, I think of how I am taking care of the earth. It's my take care of the earth moment. Reminds me we are visitors for a moment in time; and we need to leave this place better for others after us to enjoy.
Hello Rhonda- thank you so much for the review and for helping the planet! We couldn't be more grateful!!
CanadaSo nice to have a sustainable tooth brush to keep my teeth and planet nice and clean!
CanadaSo much nicer than plastic bristles and works And happy to be helping the planet

CanadaMy kids and I are loving this tooth powder! Tastes great, leaves our teeth clean and smooth with fresh breath! We all highly recommend!
Hi Stacey - glad to hear that the whole family is on board to reduce the use of plastic! Yay for clean teeth!!!
CanadaLove this tooth powder. Works great, my dental hygienist agrees. I am happy to be able to recycle the paper pouch it comes in and keep plastic toothpaste tubes out of the landfill.
Hi Joan - thanks for the review and the support. We're glad to read that you're enjoying the tooth powder and that it saves you from buying plastic!! What a great dental hygienist you have :)
CanadaI love this toothbrush powder. I love that this is a Canadian company, I love that I don’t have to throw out tooth paste tubes anymore. I love how my teeth feel, it works great. I was switching from a “natural” toothpaste to this, so I think that made the transition easier. If you’re switching right from like Colgate, it’s definitely different but you get used to it quickly.
Hi Katie - we really appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. We're stoked you're enjoying the tooth powder, it's definitely a great option to get rid of plastic in your bathroom. Thanks for your support!!
CanadaThis is a great zero waste product, it takes time to adapt though, since it has more of a liquid texture in your mouth.
It has all the ingredients that a toothpaste will have so it does the job :) Thanks for the review!!
CanadaI recently just switched from generic toothpaste to the tooth powder that Life UNpacked offers and I love it! It's super easy to use and I feel like it does a better job of cleaning my teeth than the other stuff. Although it doesn't have a minty flavour (which I don't miss), my breath feels fresher and my teeth feel cleaner! Thank you Life UNpacked :))
Hi Audrey - thanks for the love and support! We're happy you're able to skip using plastic for your toothpaste!!

Aerosol dry shampoo.
Dry shampoo in an aerosol can often contains alcohols that leave your hair dry, brittle, and prone to breakage.
Back in the day (ok, back in the 90’s, which really isn’t that long ago) aerosol cans contained chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) which played a major role in the depletion of the Ozone layer. CFCs have now been banned in most countries, however, not in all.
Unfortunately, most aerosol cans (including the ones you use for dry shampoo) use volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to propel their product. Once in the air, VOCs contribute to ground-level Ozone levels, contributing to smog production.
At life UNpacked our dry shampoo is 100% natural, chemical-free, and biodegradable.. So take it with you on your next outdoor adventure.
*Keep your shaker for future refills.
If you ordered a dry shampoo shaker: Your dry shampoo will be shipped inside. Keep this shaker and use it again and again.

Dry shampoo dissolves to nothing, so you don’t need to worry about disposing of it!
If you ordered a glass dry shampoo shaker:
Your glass dry shampoo shaker 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 dry shampoo shaker, separate the pieces from each other and toss them in your recycling bin.
If you ordered a paper dry shampoo shaker:
When it’s time to retire your paper dry shampoo shaker, simply give it a quick rinse and then toss it into your recycling bin.
*Life span will vary based on storage conditions, length of hair, oil build up, etc.

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.

CanadaI'm absolutely thrilled with this product. This allowed not just my household to eliminate another plastic item from circulation. Because we are thrilled, at least 3 other households are making the change. Very happy
Hello and thank you for the review. We're so happy that the word got out and enabled other households to make the change. Thanks for doing your part in helping our planet!!
CanadaFirst, I love the package and the refill options for obvious reasons. Second, the flosssss though! It is grippy and feels like it is actually cleaning in between my teeth! The regular floss always felt too smooth and therefore ineffective in “scrubbing” between my teeth. I am genuinely happy to have come across this product. Thank you again, Unpacked!
Hello Ann- We're thrilled you enjoy our corn floss; It is a great product and 100% compostable. Glad you appreciate the refills as well. Thanks for being a Green Groomer <3
CanadaThe floss does it’s job, tastes good in the mouth, the container is just the right size, and is really cute.
Hi Mishel- We're glad you enjoy our corn floss, it means a lot to us!! Thanks for being a Green Groomer and do your part in helping the planet!
CanadaI was shocked at how durable the floss was... as this was my principal concern! I honestly do not think it ripped once the entire round. Makes me thankful that I got rid of a petroleum-based product in the bathroom!
Hi Andrew- we're so glad you enjoy our floss!! Thanks for the review and keep the plastic out of your bathroom!
This floss is great! It’s strong and comes in a nice looking container! And compostable :)
Hey Jess - Thanks for leaving a great review about our floss! We really love it to, and that the refills come in a compostable bag :)
