The Bottom Line
Typically when you go with natural products you expect to give up some amount of quality, but Tom's Naturally Waxed Round Floss would be a contender with other national brands even if it wasn't entirely natural.
When all is said and done, this is an amazing product with the added benefit of being green.

Guide Review - Oral Care
Not only is this product completely functional, but all the ingredients are completely natural. Even better, the packaging is entirely natural, recycled, and recylclable as well. Packaging consists of 100% recycled paperboard, which has been printed on with soy ink, and a recyclable (type 2) plastic.
Ingredients:
- Beeswax (from Beehives)
- Carnauba wax (from Brazilian Wax Palm Tree)
- Jojoba wax (from Jojoba Plant)
- Myrrh (from Resin from the Myrhh Bush)
- Propolis (from a Mixture of Tree Resin Gathered by Bees)
As you can see from the ingredients, this item is perfectly natural, though not vegan because of the beeswax and propolis. It does, however, rank as a low hazard commercial product according to the Environmental Working Group's Cosmetic Safety Database.
All in all, this is an amazing product, and about as green as they get. Unless you've figured out how to make your own, floss doesn't get much better than this.
