Cruelty Free
Cruelty Free is a certification process through PETA that labels products that are not tested on animals. All companies that are included on PETA’s cruelty-free list have signed a statement verifying that they don’t use ingredients or create finished products that help conduct or pay for any tests on animals.
Phthalate Free
Phthalates are found in toys, electronics, personal care products, plastic wraps, containers, and more. These petroleum based chemicals help soften plastics, and bind fragrances to perfumes, deodorants, creams, and other personal care products. Phthalates are are not chemically bound, meaning they can easily get released into the air, water, or your body, just by using the products as intended. Phthalates have been found to disrupt the endocrine system, which can cause reproductive damage, hormonal imbalances, infertility, mood changes, metabolism changes, and more.
Sulfate Free
Sulfates are synthetic chemical ingredients commonly used in beauty products and household cleaners, like shampoos and dish soaps. You can usually identify sulfates in an ingredients list by looking out for the most common types: Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLC) and Sodium Laureth Sulfates (SLES). These chemicals, often derived from petroleum, are used to help form the “lather” we’re used to seeing in our beauty and cleaning products. When used in the shower or sink, these chemicals can flow through the pipes and into our waterways. Synthetic sulfates have been linked to allergic reactions, eye and skin irritation, and hair loss, and some studies suggest they contain carcinogenic ingredients.
Organic Content
Organic materials and ingredients are grown without the use of chemical pesticides or fertilizers, promoting a healthier use of land and decreasing harmful agricultural runoff. By steering clear of toxic chemicals, farm workers experience less exposure to hazardous conditions, promoting social responsibility as well as environmental stewardship. Choosing organic materials eliminates the use of insecticides and other harmful chemicals, promotes efficient resource use, and results in a safer products and a cleaner planet!

I really like the idea of having a good vegan floss that isn’t plastic based. I had the vegan activated charcoal floss for reference. Unfortunately the company just changed the bottle as soon as I purchased the refillable bottle which is pretty annoying because spending this much money on floss is honestly ridiculous. The vegan floss works, but it is very thick which makes it difficult to floss if you have teeth with small gaps in between. I didn’t have a problem with floss breakage. I’m probably going to switch companies because it is not worth it for the cost and if the company keeps changing the “reusable” bottle so you can’t reuse it…

I like this floss! It does break more than plastic floss but I don’t really mind. Knowing that I’m not throwing plastic string into the garbage outweighs the occasional breakage.

My husband had constant issues with the floss breaking, meaning he ended up using twice as much to get the job done. And now this size is discontinued RIGHT after I purchased the refillable bottle! I’m very upset about now having to purchase a new bottle. It’s not reusable if you buy it and then the refills are changed to a size that won’t fit anymore!
Make the floss better, leave the bottle the same size so that we can actually reuse them!

Hi Melody, we are so sorry that this floss is not working out as you had hoped. Georganics has updated this floss to be both compostable and vegan which included a larger spool for more bang for your buck! We have passed your feedback onto our friends at Georganics about this floss as well. Our care team will be in touch shortly to help!

This floss worked really well for us – very few issues with shredding or breaking. The dispenser also worked for us. I wish this was still available – we didn’t even get a chance to order refills before it was discontinued. The new version (vegan) does not work for us at all. We will have to switch brands.

The floss is really good. The floss cutter on the dispenser never catches though and I end up with a much longer strand than is necessary.

This is the best floss I have tried so far. The silk is much stronger than other compostable floss I have tried. It is thin so it doesn’t get stuck between my teeth, and it never breaks while I am using it.

I have tight teeth and normally purchased a thicker more heavily waxed floss than this one so that it would not get stuck between my teeth. This floss, although thinner, works fine. I do need to make sure to handle it gently, though, not pulling it too tight and breaking it. I will definitely purchase a refill.

At first, I was conflicted how to feel about this floss. It was a little thicker, and was a little snug trying to fit between my teeth. However, it is really strong and I have gotten used to the thickness of it. Will definitely be buying the refill for this once it gets low! Highly recommend!

This floss works really well, but there is a small learning curve: you can’t pull this stuff as tightly as you would a conventional floss. It is prone to breaking. I tried the orange flavor, and I’m really enjoying it.

I floss twice a day, everyday, camping, at home, on vacation, for work etc. I’ve used many floss brands. I was worried this one would be too brittle, too thin, get caught in my teeth, or smell weird. I’ve had none of those problems. It has been pleasant to work with. Not too thin, slick, or sticky. It doesn’t slip through my fingers but doesn’t strangle them either. Yet it does have enough “grab” to get the teeth clean. I feel relieved to use a floss that isn’t made with PFOA, PFAS, PTFE, or the like. Since I have periodontal issues, I’m particularly sensitive to issues with floss not working but this one is a keeper. I recommend this floss to anyone.

I have the spearmint one and I would say you could easily compare the quality to the conventional floss. It works very well for me, and quite sturdy as well. The flavor is subtle, I don’t mind it, but that is something other might want to keep in mind.

Question
gruenwald2008 –
I’m not sure why a company would make two products with silk worms and killing them for one time use floss and then make the other ethnically product. Why would someone vegan support this company?? That’s false advertisement of the bunny logo. Either commit to being vegan or don’t but you can’t do it half one. I am not vegan and I own leather jackets and silk shirts that will last me years not careless floss.
I just think it’s false advertisement and shady. I wouldn’t trust this company at all. Unless it is corn silk?? If so they should write that. Amazon has some corn silk floss.

Hi there! The non-vegan Georganics’ floss is made from Ahimsa (Peace) silk, meaning that no silkworms had to die to produce it! Georganics also has just reformulated their floss and our next shipment will be made from Corn PLA, a bioplastic. So many great cruelty-free and sustainable options!

How would you recommend disposing of the vegan version? Would we compost this as well?
(0) (0) Watch Unwatch
EarthHero –
Hi Hannah! Thank you for your question. At the moment, the only truly biodegradable option is the silk version. The vegan floss, while made partially with charcoal fibers, incorporates a blend of polyester yarn and therefore, must go in the trash as opposed to a compost. We are certainly on the lookout for a floss option that is both vegan and biodegradable, though. Stay tuned! 🙂

For my teeth, this floss works great. For my boyfriend, it breaks in between each tooth. I don’t know how normal of an experience that is for others, but it’s not something I’ve experienced and I’ve since been using it daily. I love the packaging as well, minimal and recyclable.

I love this floss!! I have been really trying to cut down my plastic consumption over the past few years, and finally found a place to get all my dental care in one place. I haven’t had any issues with floss breaking – just once a stray string separated and briefly got stuck but that has happened with ‘normal’ floss so no big deal. I accidentally dropped the container on my counter and it didn’t break, so that seems sturdy too. Love it!

I don’t really get the spearmint flavor, but the floss works really well! Since it is fiber based, repeated flossing with one section can break the string. But I love that it’s compostable and the glass bottle has survived being knocked down onto my bathroom floor by the cat!

Kay (verified owner) –
I’ve honestly had the worst experience flossing with this product. There is a design flaw on the cover with where the slit is placed. It needs to be turned 90 degrees so that it is easier to cut the floss. Other than that, the actual floss is awful. It is hard to get in between the teeth and is hard on the gums. There was nothing pleasant about using this at all. I was so excited to purchase and use this product and so incredibly disappointed upon trying it.
