The Best Organic and Biodegradable Floss on Amazon
When we did our blog post on the best bamboo toothbrushes, we found that a lot of them came bundled with floss. We will be honest. Like most people, we understand the importance of flossing but have never really incorporated it into our routine. It is one of those habits that is important but tends to be ignored by everyone but the most motivated.
That blog post really got us thinking about starting flossing as a habit. After all, it only takes a minute and the benefits are enormous. Plus, it also helps us learn how to develop a new habit. Regardless of your current situation in life, you can go a lot farther if you are able to build the habit of building good habits – if that makes sense.
So we bit the bullet and started research on the topic. We found a ton of options that we are excited to share with you. These are the best organic and biodegradable flosses right now on Amazon.
The Loved Folk Dental Floss 100% Biodegradable
This dental floss is 100% biodegradable, plastic-free, vegan, and made in a cruelty-free manner. The plant-based corn silk fibers of the floss are coated in natural candelilla wax. Even the box it comes in is made out of plastic-free recyclable cardboard. You get 2 33-yard spools in the box which should last you around 6 months of daily use. The company itself is very cognizant of the effect of plastics on the environment. On the back of the box, they mention a statistic that really frightened us the first time we read it. By 2050, unless major changes are made, there is going to be more plastic than fish in the world’s oceans. It is a scary thought but we appreciate the effort that the company is taking in educating people.
Vegan Dental Floss by TEVRA
This organic and biodegradable floss comes in a mint and ginger flavor which can be described as subtle. It is refreshing but not overpowering. It comes in a tiny glass holder that can be reused when you buy the refills that they sell. The company offers full refunds within 30 days of purchase if you are not happy with the product. You can get a starter pack of 30-yard length or a refill pack of 60-yard length.
Treebird Biodegradable Dental Floss
These come in silk and activated bamboo charcoal variants. You get 100% silk floss 33 yard in length waxed with vegan candelilla wax with a fresh mint flavor. The packaging is made of Kraft paper with compostable transparent stickers and is printed with soybean ink. You can chuck everything except the reusable glass holder in the home compost without worrying about pollution. This is truly a guilt-free floss.
Eco Fox Biodegradable Mint Dental Floss & Refillable Glass Holder
With this organic and biodegradable floss, you get 33 yards of biodegradable natural silk dental floss in a refillable glass container that can be used over and over. The kraft paper box that it comes in is also non-toxic & 100% eco-friendly printed with water-soluble inks. The floss has been waxed with candelilla wax and flavored with a mint flavor that is derived from natural mint oil that is extracted from mint leaves. This product is Amazon’s choice for its high customer rating and reasonable price.
VEGAN Biodegradable Bamboo Charcoal Dental Floss
These ones are 100% biodegradable bamboo charcoal floss, coated with natural candelilla wax and peppermint essential oils. They come with a reusable container for the refills. The floss along with the packaging will degrade in 60 to 90 days in a home compost. This brand used to sell only in craft fairs and artisan markets and has recently started to sell on Amazon. This brand is run by a husband and wife team from Las Vegas.
BamboEarth Biodegradable Mint Dental Tooth Lace Floss
This biodegradable dental floss is all natural and organic and is made with premium high-quality organic silk. The thread is covered with natural candelilla waxed and it is flavored with mint. The packaging that it comes in is zero waste and made of compostable plant-based kraft paper featuring soy-bean made ink. Overall a solid contender for a starter floss.
Now to wrap up this list we are going to include something different. We are going to recommend some floss picks for the people who find flossing daunting or a hassle. Floss picks are especially good at reaching the areas that normal flossing techniques make it hard to reach. We find this way of flossing very convenient even though it is a little expensive and wasteful. We understand the picks are biodegradable but we would only recommend them if you absolutely need this form factor and cannot floss the old fashioned way. If you have already decided you are going to get them then these following products make the cut.
Isshah Natural Dental Floss Picks
These floss picks are made mainly from corn-starch and packaged in eco-friendly paper packaging. The corn starch picks are not 100% biodegradable and instead require a binding agent to help the process. The binding agent used in 99% of the cases is polypropylene. The company says that it is the limitation of current technology and its product development department is constantly testing new materials to make the product more eco-friendly.
The Humble Co. Natural Dental Floss Picks
You get 50 corn starch picks in each box. They are coated with natural xylitol and mint for the smooth movement against the teeth and a good taste. On every purchase, the company behind these gives a portion towards funding oral health projects for children in need.
So those were the best organic and biodegradable flosses that you can buy right now on Amazon. We tried to incorporate a wide range of options in which there is something for everyone. We can only hope that we did our job right. If you have any thoughts on our picks or better yet if you happen to pick them up and use them, let us know how it went. We would love to hear about your experience!
Love,
Scooch and Steve
