Welcome to the world of dental flossing where agood company stands out with a revolutionary product made from sustainable materials that are good for the planet and your oral hygiene. Flossing is an essential part of any dental hygiene routine, but traditional flossing products can be a nightmare for the planet. Fortunately, our company has come up with an innovative solution that's not just tooth-friendly, but also Earth-friendly. Made from natural cornstarch and candelilla wax, our dental floss is tough on plaque but gentle on the environment. Let's dive into why cornstarch is an ideal material for making dental floss with a little bit of candelia wax.

What is it?

Cornstarch is a fine, white powder that is derived from the endosperm of corn kernels. It is a natural and renewable resource that is commonly used in the food industry as a thickener, binder, and stabilizer. At our company, we take this versatile raw material and transform it into a high-quality dental floss that's not only gentle on your gums but also eco-friendly.

Our cornstarch-based dental floss is made by first extracting the cornstarch from the waste produced by corn farming. This process involves washing, milling, and separating the corn kernel's different components, including the germ, endosperm, and hull. Once we have the cornstarch, we use it to create a strong and durable filament that can withstand the pressure of flossing between teeth.

To make our cornstarch filament even more effective, we add a small amount of candelilla wax, a natural wax derived from the leaves of the candelilla shrub. This plant-based wax is not only biodegradable and sustainable, but it also gives our dental floss a smooth and silky texture, making it easier to slide between teeth and remove plaque and food particles.

Our cornstarch and candelilla wax dental floss is a game-changer for those looking for a sustainable and effective way to keep their teeth clean. It's gentle on your gums, tough on plaque, and 100% biodegradable. So, whether you're an eco-conscious consumer or just someone who wants to take better care of their teeth, our cornstarch and candelilla wax dental floss is the perfect choice.
