Well, it's biodegradable, but eh?
The dental floss is made of corn starch,  a coating of candelilla wax from a plant grown mostly in Mexico, and also has peppermint oil.  All natural ingredients.  The floss itself is very strong and very thin.  Unfortunately, I couldn't taste the subtle mint flavor at all.  I could smell it in the little box that the floss comes in, but not in my mouth.  Speaking of the box, it is not strong at all.  We received two boxes, one crushed in transit.  These are the "holders" for the floss and are made of a thick recycled paper but flimsy for their intended purpose.  I taped the crushed box together, but not sure how long either box will last, though they are biodegradable when the time comes.  The boxes are almost 2 1/2" tall, and each side 1", and hold a little over 54 yards each.  Actually, the dental floss did it's job pretty well, but with some bleeding...perhaps that was masking the mint?!!!<br /> * Unfortunately, dropping a star from 3 to 2, and now the floss is breaking too often, and a piece got stuck ...not happy with the performance, was hoping for something worthwhile.
