Sustainability
These biodegradable charcoal dental floss picks are a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic dental products. The pick handles are made from cornstarch-based PLA, a plant-based material that looks and feels like plastic but is fully compostable and biodegradable. Unlike conventional plastics that linger in landfills and oceans for hundreds of years, cornstarch PLA breaks down naturally without releasing harmful toxins. The floss itself is made from bamboo charcoal fiber and coated with vegan candelilla wax and peppermint essential oil—eliminating the use of silk, which is not vegan or cruelty-free. Packaged in a plastic-free kraft paper box, these picks offer a complete zero-waste oral care solution that’s better for your health and the planet.

How to use
Using the biodegradable charcoal dental floss picks is quick and easy. Simply remove a pick from the kraft paper box and gently insert the floss between your teeth, sliding it back and forth to remove plaque and food particles. The floss is smooth, comfortable on your gums, and infused with peppermint essential oil for a refreshing clean. After flossing, dispose of the pick in a compost bin where it will break down naturally over time.
Compact and convenient, these picks are perfect for use at home or on the go, offering a simple way to maintain oral hygiene while reducing plastic waste.
