SO CHIC AND PORTABLE

I carry my bamboo toothbrush in its holder and glass powder container everywhere. Easy to use, great tasting tooth powder, no half rolled tube with icky lid. What's not to love!

An easy transition

I’ve never used a tooth powder before so didn’t know what to expect. After a few uses, I prefer the powder to standard toothpaste in a tube. I love how smooth and clean my teeth feel. The floss is strong, with a pleasant flavour and nice to use - and one less plastic container feels like a big win! Excellent kit for yourself or as a gift.

Loving it!

I love this kit! The floss doesn't slide super smooth like regular floss, which I really like, it seems to ckean better. The tooth brush seems like a good firmness so far. Not too soft but not shredding my gums. I really like the powder. I like that it doesn't foam up like crazy and I'm not having to spit constantly or drool. When I get a refill I'll fill the little container only half probably. It doesn't seem to matter how careful I am right now, I'm always dropping powder when I open to use. I'd definitely reccomend this set to anyone trying to unplastic their life. Thanks unpacked for providing a much needed alternative!

Toothbrush Bamboo (Adult)

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.

Toothpowder with Glass Container

Typical Life Span: 3-4 months*

Tooth powder dissolves to nothing, so you don’t need to worry about disposing of it!

Your glass tooth powder 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 tooth powder container, unscrew the lid from the body, recycle the body and lid insert, and compost the lid.

*Life span will vary based on frequency of use, storage conditions, etc.

Floss with Glass Container

Typical Life Span: 2 months*

Corn: After using your corn floss, simply toss it into your compost 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.

Bamboo Toothbrush (Adult)

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.

Tooth Powder with Glass Container

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.

Glass tooth powder containers replace the need for plastic toothpaste tubes and allow you to refill and reuse instead.

Floss with Glass Container

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.

Bamboo Toothbrush (Adult)
  1. Wet your bamboo toothbrush.
  2. Tap off all excess water.
  3. Dip the corner of your bamboo toothbrush into your life UNpacked tooth powder.
  4. *Less is more - You don’t need much.
  5. Brush like normal, spit, and rinse.
  6. *Be careful not to swallow. (Brushing pulls toxins from your teeth and gums and it's best not to re-ingest those!)
Toothpowder with Glass Container
  1. Unscrew the lid.
  2. *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.
  3. Wet your life UNpacked bamboo toothbrush.
  4. Tap off all excess water.
  5. Dip the corner of your toothbrush into the tooth powder.
  6. *Less is more - You don’t need much.
  7. Brush like normal, spit, and rinse.
  8. *Be careful not to swallow. (Brushing pulls toxins from your teeth and gums and it's best not to re-ingest those!)
*Keep your container for future refills. Floss with Glass Container
  1. Pull out about 18 inches of floss, cut on the lid of the container.
  2. Wind the floss around your fingers (no need to get all tangled!).
  3. Slide floss gently up and down between your teeth.
  4. *Take care around your gum line.
  5. 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.
  6. Repeat for each tooth.
  7. Cheese to check out those pearly whites.

*Keep your container for future refills.

Bamboo Toothbrush (Adult) 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.
