Natural Dental Floss

Plastic-free and natural dental floss: charcoal bamboo floss, vegan floss and refillable floss containers.

Natural and plastic-free floss

Most standard floss is nylon or PTFE on a plastic spool. These options use plant-based or bamboo-fiber floss, vegan wax instead of beeswax in some cases, and refillable glass or bamboo containers.

Floss once a day, curving the floss around each tooth and sliding it gently below the gumline.

Questions

What is natural dental floss made of?

Is bamboo floss compostable?

Some bamboo-fiber floss is. Check the label, since coatings vary.

What is the difference between vegan floss and regular floss?

Vegan floss avoids silk and beeswax.
