Here’s what’s typically used: ❌Nylon or Teflon (PFAS-Coated) Floss Nylon - Most standard floss is made from nylon, a petroleum-based plastic that doesn’t biodegrade. ❌Teflon (PFAS Chemicals) - Some flosses are coated with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) to make them glide easily. These “forever chemicals” have been linked to hormone disruption and other health concerns. ❌Wax Coating Many flosses are coated with petroleum-based wax to help them slide between teeth. Some brands use beeswax or plant-based wax instead. ❌Artificial Flavorings & Sweeteners Conventional floss may contain artificial mint or other synthetic flavors, sometimes made with propylene glycol or chemical additives. ❌Antimicrobial or Whitening Agents Some flosses include triclosan (a possible endocrine disruptor) or bleaching agents for whitening. There are better options!🎉 Look for: ✅natural bamboo floss, ✅ PFAS-free plant-based floss coated with candelilla wax or beeswax. ⤵️⤵️⤵️Comment below “FLOSS” for a link to the cleanest options that are safest for you and your family🎉 🤍Make sure to follow @thatchiromama so link shows up in inbox! . . . toxinfree toxinfreeliving nontoxic nontoxicliving toxinfreehome lowtox toxinfreelifestyle nontoxichome healthyteeth floss dentalfloss
