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.

Hi there! You may really like this one by Radius. Since it’s made from silk instead of nylon, it’s fully compostable. 🙂

Puggypuppy –
How do you dispose of the floss? Is it compostable or does it need to go in the garbage can??

Hi there! When floss is of the silk variety, it will biodegrade and can be added to a compost bin! This floss is vegan (not from silk) and is made from nylon. Nylon is not compostable, so the best place to put this when you’re finished with it is in the garbage. Thanks for asking!
