Sustainable but fragile
It is nice that this floss is not polluting the environment after use.
Floss
Not as strong as it could be,but ok.
The problem with nylon
Toss the tub.
We have created a strong and smooth alternative to one of the more detrimental oral care products for marine life. No more long strings causing havoc with fish, seals or baby dolphins — our floss degrades.

How it works
The thread that ties it all together.
Brushing your teeth is all good and well, but what about those little gaps where your toothbrush just cannot get to?
Our dental floss is super strong, combining bamboo and charcoal coated with candelilla wax, so those hard-to-reach places are easy to clean.
And it does it without roughing up your gums — or leaving nylon behind.

Every part, and why
Three parts. Two you keep, one you replace.
✓Bamboo floss
Strong, thin thread that gets between your teeth without roughing up your gums.
✓Charcoal
Coats the thread so it glides and lifts more as it passes.
✓Candelilla wax
A plant wax that keeps the floss smooth — no petroleum.
✓Glass jar
Infinitely recyclable, so you can see what you have left and refill it easily.
✓Metal cap
Resilient aluminium that keeps your floss dry and cuts it cleanly.
The honest comparison
The gaps your brush never reaches.
20m
Of floss per pod
Roughly two months of daily flossing for one person.

Nylon or plastic
Bamboo and charcoal thread in a glass and aluminium jar.

Sustainable but fragile
It is nice that this floss is not polluting the environment after use. However, the new version is very fragile and I have to replace the string 2-3 times during one flossing session as it simply breaks. Additionally, the floss options are not very clear on the website so I ended up buying 4x floss jars where I actually needed refills (I know, my mistake, but it really isn’t easy to notice when in a rush). A bit disappointed but in the past the products sometimes improved with another batch so, hopefully, the next roll is more robust.
