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.
Floss refills replace the need for plastic dental floss containers and allow you to refill and reuse instead.

CanadaI’ve been a LifeUnpacked customer for over 18 months and I love their oral care products. Am so happy not to be contributing to plastic pollution. I’m really liking the charcoal floss & it seems to work really well with my tight teeth. That you’re a BC based company is a bonus. Thank you!
Hi Linda! Thanks for the wonderful review, we're so happy to count you as a loyal customer!! Glad you like our new Bamboo Charcoal Floss <3 Thanks again for the support!!!
CanadaI tried both the corn and the bamboo floss. Corn didn't work, because it was breaking all the time and getting stuck between my teeth. Bamboo worked well but wasn't compostable. When I was ready for a refill, I decided to try the bamboo charcoal. Mind blown! It's so soft and gentle. I feel like I'm flossing with a silky thread. And it is compostable. Win win. Also since the thread is black, you can clearly see all the plaque that you're removing, which is usually not visible on the white floss.
Hi Olga! We're stoked you like our new bamboo charcoal floss <3 100% compostable and biodegradable, it's the way to go! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, we appreciate your support for us and for the planet!
CanadaMy first order from Life Unpacked was a bundle of things, and corn floss was included! I was a titch worried about the wide teeth vs tight teeth description, but opted for the corn floss anyways because there's no point in ordering it if it's not completely biodegradable! Anyways, do not hesitate to order corn floss even if your teeth are pretty close together! I had no issue. Overall I'm stoked with absolutely everything from Life Unpacked. Happy to support a local Vancity business instead of hitting up the drugstore for a load of plastic containers full of bathroom products. The prices are totally reasonable and my order shipped the day of :)
Hi Erica - thank you so much for the wonderful support!! We're so happy you enjoy the corn floss. It is indeed 100% compostable and biodegradable <3 amazing job on staying away from plastic!!
CanadaThe floss is super easy to refill into its glass vial. So happy to finally have a non-plastic floss that won't harm wildlife. I'd always hated putting those strings of plastic floss into the garbage and worrying about them ending up in some animal's gullet. Now I can feel good about flossing, and so I floss more regularly.
Thanks Fiona for protecting wildlife; we're stocked you enjoy the floss!!
CanadaI’m an avid “flosser” - ever since I was a little girl and the dentist told me it was just as important as brushing! I always have floss on me and I floss more than I brush. This floss is great. It lasts a long time (considering how much I floss) AND it is completely COMPOSTABLE, same with the PACKAGING is compostable! You’ve got a customer for life!
Mary, thank you so much for the review! We love that you're an avid flosser and that our corn floss does the job perfectly for you. Couldn't ask for more!!
