Our natural Dental Floss is made from compostable Corn-base PLA, coated with Vegetable Wax and organic Spearmint Oil. This oil is a strong antiseptic, so this natural floss will help eliminate germs and promotes healing in your gums.Flossing daily helps to remove food debris and prevent bacteria from the areas that sometimes regular brushing cannot reach. The plastic-free natural floss is ideal for those suffering with bleeding gums. 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 Vegan & Cruelty-f DIRECTIONS Gently pull out about 30 centimetres of floss and roll the floss around your thumb to control the strength and position.
