"The best floss. I’ve tried plain, waxed and flavored dental flosses, and Akamai’s infused black floss is hands down the best. It is much less likely to cut into the gum between my teeth, AND it cleans SOOO much better." — C. Bow

The Ultimate Floss
We spent hundreds of hours researching and testing a wide range of tools designed to remove bacteria between teeth and gums. Everything from dozens of floss brands and styles— including silk floss (breaks, just ok at removing plaque and bacteria), popular commercial brands (nasty chemical coatings), and others. We also tried oral picks (tons of plastic waste, bulky, expensive) and other tools.
None did the job as we envisioned. We thought…
-
Why not optimize floss so that in addition to removing plaque, it was infused with ingredients beneficial to oral health? Doing so was a real technical challenge as we worked with our dental advisors and engineers at our manufacturing partner.
-
Why not drastically cut waste & make it refillable? Our Refillable Floss System™ does that, reducing waste by more than 70% over traditional flosses. When empty, simply pop open the case and insert a new bobbin.
-
Why not utilize advanced thread technology? Our floss uses an advanced multifilament thread technology made up of 500+ filaments — each strand thinner than a human hair. Our multifilament threads expand to grab more crud from between teeth and gums. It physically traps and removes more bacteria.
-
Why not make it a color that is helpful? We chose black as a color that helps give a visual guide for the amount of stuff you are extracting.
The more we researched the more we realized how crucial flossing is to oral health.
Did you know?
- Poor oral health can be linked to several ailments and imbalances throughout the body.
-
An estimated 300-500 species of bacteria live inside our mouths and can be found in plaque. While some are beneficial, most are not. Look under the microscope.
-
According to a Delta Dental national public opinion poll of American adults, 20% of adults never floss, and 32% of adults reported no flossing in the past week.

Tips
Establish a solid flossing routine. Here’s what works for us.
-
Try to do it at the same time, every day.
-
Miss a day (or several)? just floss at your next designated time. Don’t beat yourself up.
-
Make a visual reminder. Keep your floss on your bathroom sink, in your purse, or car console.
-
Don’t run out. Just like a core supplement, this good habit can die if you run out. (Consider subscribing to our spool refill as a reminder for yourself —“It's gonna keep coming and I want to do this daily”).
-
While flossing, remember that this simple task can support whole body health and remove bacteria that contributes to bad breath.
Haven’t flossed in a while? Like with our tongue cleaner, use the appearance and the smell (yikes!) of what you remove as inspiration to keep it up. Yep, it’s kinda gross, however, it does provide great inspiration to make flossing a part of your daily oral hygiene routine. So, get on it and get it out of your mouth daily!
Which floss is best for tight teeth?
If your teeth have very tight spacing, our Infused Silk Floss is your best option. It’s thinner and designed to glide smoothly between even the closest contacts.
Our Black Infused Floss is great for most people—it expands while flossing to grab more plaque—but if you have very tight teeth, it may feel too thick.
If you have both tight and less tight spacing you could choose to use both versions. Simply use two dispensers — use the Infused Silk Floss spool in one, and the Infused Black Floss spool in the other.
Why should I floss daily?
According to the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD), flossing is the single most important weapon against plaque. By flossing your teeth daily, you increase the chances of keeping your teeth for a lifetime.
How do you use the refill system?
-
Unscrew cap
-
Pull ~3” of floss from the spool
-
Drop spool into container
-
Feed floss through hole in the cap
-
Screw the cap back on & floss
Why do you now offer two different kinds of floss?
Our goal is to always make things “as simple as possible but no simpler”. While we initially resisted adding another kind of floss, two reasons compelled us.
Reason #1: We listened and responded — we got enough feedback from people with really tight spacing between their teeth that our Infused Black Floss was too thick for them. Akamai Infused Silk Floss is thinner while still being very strong.
Reason #2: Adding Silk Floss enables us to offer a 100% plastic-free option. Combined with our Stainless Steel Container — it is about as sustainable and environmentally friendly as you can get when it comes to floss.
Both are infused with certified organic essential oils, ethical beeswax & Fulvic Acid to support oral health.
What happens if the cap’s metal cutter gets bent or flattens out?
Stainless steel is very strong. If your container gets banged up (e.g. from getting stuffed in a travel bag) there's a possibility the top flap could get bent down (it is small after all).
If it’s no longer elevated enough for a clean cut, you can easily fix it. Either unscrew the top and gently push it back out using tweezers or a small metal tool, or carefully pry it upward from the top — just a tiny bit.

70% less waste with our Refillable Floss System™
-
If everyone on our planet flossed 1x a day, the plastic containers disposed of in a single year could fill a football stadium 6 stories high.
-
Our floss container can be reused for years. Using our refills and the original container has the potential to cut plastic waste by 70% or more.
-
Bulk buying and/or subscribing to our refill spool of floss has an environmental benefit and will remind you to keep up with your beneficial floss routine.
What's NOT in our floss
-
No synthetic flavorings or ingredients of any kind— either 100% synthetic artificial or any of those fake natural ingredients dubbed “naturally derived”.
-
No chemical coatings commonly found in many flosses. E.g. Perfluorochemicals (PFCs) (added for the “glide factor”) which are linked to health issues.
Ingredients from Nature
The ingredients in our infusion come straight from nature: essential oils, fulvic acid, and beeswax.
