TreeBird Pure Silk Eco Floss
Peace (ahimsa) silk in candelilla wax, refilled from a glass or steel dispenser - the same plastic-free, PFAS-free-by-construction floss, with silk harvested after the moth leaves the cocoon.
The verdict: Plastic-free
A pure silk thread coated in candelilla plant wax, dispensed from a refillable glass or steel container - fully plastic-free, and PFAS-free by construction since a silk protein fiber cannot be a fluoropolymer. The distinguishing detail is the fiber sourcing: TreeBird uses peace (ahimsa) silk, gathered after the moth has left the cocoon, for buyers who want the material with that harvesting method.
Verification: Manufacturer confirmed
