"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!

"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 12You’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.
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.
So nice to have a sustainable tooth brush to keep my teeth and planet nice and clean!
So much nicer than plastic bristles and works And happy to be helping the planet
So glad I made the switch to bamboo, it works great, looks great & most importantly I’m contributing less plastic waste into the world!
Hey Jess, Thank you for your great 5 star review. We are so happy that you are contributing less plastic waste to the world :)
It does a great job and I love that it’s almost all compostable. No longer feeling guilty about so much waste :)
Hey Lauren - thanks for taking the time to review our bamboo toothbrush! We are so happy you love the product and how it works.
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 $6.95 11We’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
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.
Love 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 :)
I'm so happy that the tooth powder is now without sodium lauryl sulfate!!!! Yeah for our health and environment!!
Hey Cathrerine - Absolutely - we found that the SLS was not needed to produce the same cleaning and experience for our customers. This way it is healthier for people and the environment! :) A true win-win!
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! :)
We are glad you love the minty fresh taste Nonie. Any other options you would like to see offered here at life UNpacked?
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!!!
Susan - that is great to hear the tooth powder works so well for you. It sounds like the different size options have been working well for you!
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.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review our products, Kimberley! It means a ton to us for you to share your opinion with others who are interested in the same items.

Thanks Riley - we love that you're enjoying our soap! <3
I have been using this soap for a while now and really love it. It smells amazing and lathers nicely. Have tried a few other kinds but keep coming back to this one!
Hey Sarah! We're so happy hear that you're enjoying the soap and helping save the planet at the same time!
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. I'm a guy who likes to smell good and this light citrus/cedar wood combo really gets noticed! The girls and guys I hang aroung with always seem to notice - which just adds to the great feeling of using a great product and supporting a great mission! :) :) :)
This is wonderful to hear, David! Thank you for taking the time to share this with our community. We just recently had someone ask about our products being vegan and gluten-free! They certainly are!
This soap smells great and lathers so well! Favorite part is that it’s made with natural ingredients and zero waste!
Thanks for your great review Katie :) Keep up the great work!
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!

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.

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.

*Life span will vary based on frequency of use, storage conditions, etc.
First, 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
The 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!
I 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 :)
The bamboo floss worked great, and love the little glass container. Highly recommend.
Hey Alyssa - Thank you for recommending our product for our customers. It helps to share the benefits of the product. What else would you like to see us offer?
