The Cornstarch Factory
Our sourcing team was looking for a biodegradable and waste-based dental floss. We found it close to the sea of eastern China in the province of Shandong, China, close to Mount Tai. Founded in 2009, it has 50 employees working under living wage conditions.

Our Cornstarch Range
We use cornstarch, combined with candelilla wax and oil, to make A Good Dental floss and also the bag that it comes in.
