These products are declared compostable by the manufacturer, but may not third-party certified.

Paraben Free
Parabens are synthetic chemical preservatives, commonly used in beauty products like shampoo, lotion, and deodorants. Parabens can accumulate in your body, and have been linked to hormonal disruption and reproductive problems. In studies of breast cancer patients, parabens have been found in the tissue of cancerous tumors–yikes! If you want to avoid Parabens in your beauty products, keep an eye out for methylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, and ethylparaben in the ingredients list.
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.

Before nylon and plastic took over our bathroom counters, floss was made simply, utilizing silk thread. RADIUS returns to our roots with their Natural Silk Floss, free from toxins, flavoring, and all other harmful additives. It starts with pure silk thread, spun in small batches at the CORSEDA Fair Trade Co-op in Colombia, supporting more than 80 families. From there, natural candelilla plant wax is spun into the silk, ensuring a smooth glide between teeth for total gum protection. When you're dRead More

I’ve been trying to find a more earth-friendly floss for ages and bought this and some bamboo for the household to try. I found both types worked just fine, no breakages; however, I think my partner has sharp edged teeth as it kept breaking – they prefer the bamboo – I can use either. Don’t expect a ‘gliding’ effect – it does the job for me though.

This floss is great. I like it better than any I’ve used before. It is strong and easy to grip onto. Of course, I love that the box is not plastic.

For me this silk floss is much too thin and breaks too easily. It doesn’t work for me. I wish it did.

I didn’t think I would like the texture of this at first, but it really cleans well with no breaking or fraying. Easy to use even for someone used to the slick plastic floss.

The floss works, love that it is biodegradable. The only issue I have with the product is that if you have teeth pretty close together, like me, it breaks after flossing between a few teeth.

I recently have actually been in the habit of flossing every night. I was using a laminated floss, and this definitely has a different texture on my teeth. However it seems to function equally well; if feel a bit rough, and I enjoy being able to throw it in the compost afterward. However I would like if they upgrade their packaging to be more compostable as well. Some floss products come in a paper box; this would be better than the plastic container this is in.

I love it and can’t wait to place my order with EarthHero. I first bought this product at Whole Foods and was terribly disappointed when they stopped carrying it – and didn’t replace it, either. Silk floss provides a superior result on my teeth because of its texture (think about it – slippery plastic for cleaning out between your teeth???) and the Radius product was just right in all ways. Thank you, EarthHero!

Most floss comes in bulky packaging. This floss is compact, thin, and works perfectly well.
