The Tangled Truth About Dental Floss | SUNDAY SHIFT

In our day-to-day lives, as we seek harmony with the planet and its creatures, even the smallest act of choosing dental floss becomes an expression of our ethics.

Today, let’s unravel the threads of traditional dental floss types, explore the environmental and ethical impacts, and discover the gentle revolution offered by ahimsa silk floss.

THE HIDDEN IMPACT OF DENTAL FLOSS

For decades, nylon and PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) have dominated our dental hygiene routines.

Yet, beneath their sleek exteriors lie concerning truths.

Nylon, a type of plastic, and PTFE, famously known as Teflon, are not just indestructible in our bathrooms; they persist in our environment, contributing to the plastic crisis. Each year, these tiny filaments accumulate, telling a tale of convenience turned catastrophe.

Even traditional silk floss, while biodegradable, casts a shadow over our ethical standards. Harvested from silkworms in a process that typically ends the creature’s life, it forces us to question: Should cleanliness come at the cost of compassion?

AHIMSA SILK FLOSS: A GENTLE TOUCH FOR YOU AND THE EARTH

In this quest for harmony, ahimsa silk, also known as peace silk, emerges as a beacon of hope. Its name, derived from the ancient Indian principle of non-violence, encapsulates its essence. By waiting for silkworms to vacate their cocoons, ahimsa silk ensures that our dental hygiene practices do not harm these delicate creatures.

But why choose ahimsa silk dental floss, especially the kind lovingly crafted by FLON, a brand that shares our island’s commitment to sustainability and ethics? Let’s weave through its features:

  • Organic and Biodegradable: Made from 100% organic ahimsa silk, this floss dissolves back into the earth, leaving no trace behind.
  • Ethically Produced: The respectful gathering of silk from vacated cocoons means every strand is filled with care, not cruelty.
  • Eco-Friendly Design: Housed in a reusable glass flint with a metal cap, FLON’s dental floss is a testament to zero-waste philosophy.
  • Peppermint Fresh: Infused with peppermint oil, it leaves your mouth feeling clean and refreshed.
  • Earth-Conscious Packaging: Every aspect, from the floss to the packaging, is designed with the planet in mind - completely refillable, with refills available directly from us!
