TreeBird’s current silk floss set pairs three 33-yard spools with a refillable glass dispenser. The strand is peace silk coated with plant-based candelilla wax and natural mint. It is a plastic-free option for shoppers who accept silk; it is not vegan.

Who It Is For

Choose this version if you want a silk strand, a glass holder, and paper-forward refill packaging. Skip it if you avoid animal-derived materials. TreeBird also sells a charcoal-bamboo floss that the company identifies as vegan, although the feel and durability of a plant-fiber strand can differ from silk.

How It Compares

The decision is material-first. TreeBird silk is the animal-derived option in our plastic-free dental floss comparison; EcoRoots bamboo floss is the plant-fiber alternative. Pair either with the site’s updated toothpaste tablet guide if you are reducing plastic across the full routine.

Before You Buy

Confirm the current spool count, price, and seller at the buy destination. Do not put floss in municipal recycling. If you compost the used silk, cut it into short pieces and follow the rules for your own compost system; conditions and accepted materials vary.
