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.

I’ve tried other non-plastic flosses but they didn’t make me want to switch. This floss works great, easily getting between my tight teeth and leaving my teeth clean and fresh. Makes me feel good about taking care of the environment without making a sacrifice in quality.

I’ve tried other plastic-reduced flosses, and this is the first one that doesn’t shred between my tight teeth and permanent retainers! The stretchy-ness of the actual floss seems sort of odd, but doesn’t not make a difference in functionality to me. Clever packaging, I think it’s worth the extra cost compared to typical drugstore flosses.

It’s super soft with a nice taste/smell. i have crowded teeth and this gets between them without cuts and without the feeling of loosening my teeth that always made me a bit anxious. it doesn’t gunk up my throat at all, unlike normal floss. it’s a comfortable and pleasant option. My only issue is that the packaging was a bit awkward, i opened it wrong, i think, and i get why there’s nothing to cut the floss on but it would be nice if there was maybe a refillable container to put it in? maybe there is and i haven’t seen it? love it anyways though.

I have been trying a variety of eco-friendly floss from Earthhero and I can’t say this will be a repeat purchase. It’s not bad, but I have some tight spaces between my teeth and this is quite soft making it difficult to get in without breaking. Still better than conventional plastic floss though!

Decided to try natural floss and this one works great! It goes easy in between my teeth and I love that it’s eco-friendly & non-toxic.

I appreciate the effort to avoid the plastic floss box. However, as others have noted, this floss will not thread into tight spaces (ie: wire for permanent retainer), which makes it a product that I will not personally buy again.

Better than other natural glossed I’ve tried. Some are extremely rough, but not this type! Only draw back is I’m unable to get it into the extremely tight space around my permanent retainer as an FYI for those who may have cramped teeth spacing.

The floss is soft but strong, very subtle yet pleasant flavor. I love that the packaging isn’t plastic. I wasn’t sure if there would be a little metal thing to cut the floss (there isn’t), but lo and behold…scissors work just as well!

Subtle/mild but pleasant taste. When pulled tight the floss looks like a single thread. When there is slack it becomes… poofy? I feel like I need to twist the floss between my finger and thumb to keep the fibers together before I use. Not a big deal – just different.

I didn’t know that I could like floss this much. It’s soft and large and picks up more debris than my old floss. I like the flavor, it’s minty but also gentle. And I love the packaging, I think it’s so clever.

Radius dental floss has been a staple in our home and has been the only dental floss our child will use. Their favorite flavor was the vegan Cranberry floss but alas, that is no longer available. I purchased this as an alternative and the flavor is pleasant and not overpowering. My kiddo HATES mint flavor anything but will use this floss – I think the vanilla flavor helps to keep it good. This floss is great for me, also as it goes easily between crowns and other tight spaces and has a softness that is so easy on gums. I like that the package is recyclable but second all of the comments requesting a compostable container!

This floss is a great alternative to plastic floss for people who have teeth too snug to use the silk floss or who are vegan. This floss rarely gets stuck between my very tight teeth and a little goes a long way because it doesn’t slide in the hands the way plastic floss does.

This floss is very soft and easy to use, it’s very affordable and does what it needs to. I love that it comes in a recyclable container and it overall less wasteful. I didn’t even realize this wasn’t compostable, I had assumed it was made of of silk with how soft it is. I don’t have a compost (yet) or have access to a compost facility so it’s not a huge problem for me personally right now. I will be moving to a compostable one in the future though.

I love the subtle, pleasant taste and feel of this floss. It glides smoothly and easily between my teeth with no harshness–even around the tooth where I have a crown.

My partner and I have shopped around for sustainable flosses and this one is the winner. My only complaint is that it isn’t compostable but other than that, it’s lovely! Good for the more sensitive among us , too.

I was constantly looking for something to sub plastic floss. It was always crazy how wasteful it was and then I found the Vegan Mint Radius Floss. I was more than happy with my first pack. At first tearing was a little tricky but now it’s the perfect fit to my morning and evening routine. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a plant-based, more eco friendly alternative to the typical floss. Would be interesting to see if there was a vegan compostable/biodegradable option but for now this is just right!

This product works well as floss but the box is difficult to use and I have to use scissors to cut the floss.

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

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

EarthHero –
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!
