Green + Kind Refillable Plant Based Floss, Mint Flavour
30m of floss is a refillable glass bottle.
Our Green + Kind floss is made from PLA which is derived from corn, it has a candelilla wax coating and a natural mint flavour. It's a vegan floss and a great alternative to floss which is made from nylon or non-vegan floss made from silk, which we would obviously never sell. We looked for a floss for a long time that was a better choice and this, in our opinion, is the best current option. Our floss comes in a glass vial which is refillable and we sell the refills. It's packaged in a cardboard box so no plastic. Note: the floss is a little thicker than nylon floss due to PLA being used.
More about PLA
PLA is polylatic acid and is a bioplastic so is derived from cornstarch, a renewable source, not petroleum. When you see 'biodegradable' cups and containers being served they are often made from PLA. Many organisations will claim PLA is biodegradable or compostable; we're not claiming this as it does need to meet high temperatures and have moisture to biodegrade. You might not have the right conditions in your home compost and, in Australia, there is very little industrial composting happening. Is it better than nylon or silk - absolutely! It's refillable, does not have any plastic packaging, is vegan, cruelty-free and is not made from petroleum.
Disposing of the floss - if you can dispose in industrial composting please do. Home composting is the next best alternative as it is a thin string so may take less time to break down. Finally dispose of in general waste; please never flush down the toilet.

Not recommended for narrowly-spaced teeth
Like a lot of customers here, I had continual issues with this floss breaking and getting stuck between my teeth. The vegan factor and low-waste factors are appealing and the design idea is great, but clearly this product could use some more development.Location Melbourne

Good floss
I use this floss on my front teeth and it works great. The bottle is so cute. My back teeth are too tight, but that was the case for other brands of floss too so I'm very happy with itLocation Sydney

Works well for me!
So good to find a vegan, plastic free floss option. It does the job well, it is a bit thicker than other floss but I have space between my teeth so that is fine for me. The glass bottle is very helpful for storing and dispensing the flossLocation NSW

Works for me
Its a floss and it works for me. Others may just be too fussy with it breaking but its really not a big deal. Just go slow and it works just fine. Much better than adding to plastic waste.Location Sydney

Worst floss I have ever used
Whilst I love the sustainability factor of this item with the refillable glass and cardboard packaging - the product itself is woeful. The floss frays and snaps easily, gets stuck between my teeth and breaks. It barely does the job and is frustrating to use every single time. I won't be buying it again.Location Tasmania

Breaks when used.
I'm adore the tiny glass jar, but the floss stuck between my teeth and broke, leaving a piece of floss stuck in my teeth. It was the worst feeling, and it was only lucky my partner had plastic floss to get the broken piece out. Unfortunately this isn't a viable product yet. Hope it gets improved cause the idea is awesome.Location Sydney

Eco friendly option
Whilst this is an eco friendly option, it is not very smooth and will get stuck if teeth are close together.Location Adelaide

Best floss for me
I like this floss because it's not slippery so it feels like it really cleans my teeth properly, scrapes the gunk off. I do have to be careful in between some of my molars that are really close together - it can break if you apply too much pressure. Best option I have found amongst the biodegradable flosses I have been able to find.Location Vic

Need to go slow
This floss has no glossy coating which makes it a bit difficult to use especially if your teeth are close together.
I found if I take it slow and gentle I can use with no breakages of the floss.
Even though it’s not perfect I much prefer the idea that it’s biodegradable.
Every little bit helps.Location Queensland

Great eco friendly option
Works perfectly for me, just floss a bit more gently than if using a normal floss.Location Melbourne
