This natural floss is made from a blend of Charcoal Fibres and compostable Corn-base PLA, coated with Vegetable Wax and organic Peppermint Oil. Studies have shown Peppermint oil to be extremely effective at killing anaerobic bacteria, left untreated this bacteria can cause gum disease. Flossing daily helps to remove food debris and prevent bacteria from the areas that sometimes regular brushing cannot reach. Please note that this is the new formulation of the Georganics dental floss.  The good news is that they have created a floss that is entirely plant based and is therefore vegan and compostable!  However, this floss is not as strong as nylon floss so there will be an adjustment period as it can break or fray more easily.     SPECIFICS Made from Compostable Corn PLA Plastic-free Packaging Available as 50m refillable dispenser or 100m refill only Vegan & Cruelty-free DIRECTIONS Gently pull out about 30 centimetres of floss and roll the floss around your thumb to control the strength and position. Floss slowly between each tooth, reaching close to the gum line. MATERIALS Charcoal Powder^, Corn PLA Floss, Vegetable Wax*^, Mentha Piperita Oil*^. *Organic, ^Natural.
