Did you know that traditional dental floss is actually made of plastic? If everyone in just the US flossed as recommended by the American Dental Association, the used floss would circle the planet more than 1,200 times. And the plastic containers? We'd fill a landfill the size of a football field six stories high (the equivalent of 2,184,000,000 canisters). No, thank you.
(Thank you to Viajar & Amar for doing that math so we didn't have to.)
This refillable silk dental floss is our go-to solution to keep our teeth healthy and bright. The floss itself is silk coated in vegan candelilla wax, and is packaged in stunning glass and stainless steel canisters that can be continually refilled.
This floss has been made even better! We are transitioning our zero waste floss to a new, stronger version that is less likely to break during use. Our refill packs and Earth, Starburst, and Seafoam canisters all feature this new floss. We are transitioning away from our Chevron canisters with the older floss.
Pair it with our bamboo toothbrushes and check out our full line of zero waste oral care products for a beautifully sustainable oral care routine.
Size
Each Blue Waves and Chevron glass canister comes pre-filled with one 33-foot spool of floss and one additional 33-foot spool.
Earth, Starburst, and Seafoam glass canisters come pre-filled with one 33-foot spool of silk and include a stainless steel cap.
Refill packs include two 33-foot spools, without the canister.
Materials
Our zero waste floss is made with 100% biodegradable silk coated in vegan candelilla wax and organic peppermint essential oil.
Packaging + End of Life
Our Blue Waves, Chevron, and Refill zero waste floss are packaged in a 100% recycled cardboard box with a certified compostable bioplastic sleeve.
The box can be curbside recycled or composted, while the sleeve can be industrially composted. If you do not have access to industrial compost, the sleeve should be thrown away.
Our Earth, Starburst, and Seafoam zero waste floss are completely unpackaged.
The floss itself can be composted, either industrially or in your backyard compost, and the canister can be endlessly refilled. If it does come time to retire the canister, the glass body and the stainless steel top can be curbside recycled.

My new favorite floss!
Before I tried out this silk floss, I purchased a plant-based version which I did not like. It would break constantly but with this silk version, the floss does not break. I love that it can be composted instead of thrown away. that I can order refills, and it is plastic-free.

Love this dental floss
I have been using this dental floss for a couple years now. My hygienist sees no difference in the cleaning needs of my teeth as opposed to the plastic counterpart purchased at a store. I feel great keeping plastic out of the landfill!

Silk Floss
I like this floss - it's a nice mixture of textured and sleek (somewhere between rougher Reach and smooth Glide) AND it's more sustainable. I was buying it from a store across the country; so VERY pleased to buy it from a local merchant. My spouse's teeth/hands have ripped the floss, so that is a down side. For me, as someone who has a mixture of tight and then wide spaces in my teeth, I have found it a lovely fit.

Converting from plastic flossers
I have always used plastic flossers and have found cornstarch alternatives, but they still have plastic. I decided to give this floss a try and I have been pleasantly surprised. The floss has only broken once or twice in my tightly spaced teeth (slow and gentle usually solves my breaking issues) and I love that I'm not using as much plastic. I've been using it for about a month and decided to order more.
