Health Starts with Your Mouth
Oral care is the foundation of health, but the industry hasn't been treating it that way
Boka pairs the best ingredients nature and modern science have to offer to heal your mouth and nourish your body.
Our Design Philosophy
We believe in going back to the basics. You won’t find unnecessary gimmicks here. Our toothbrushes, floss, and toothpaste are made with high-quality materials that deliver a comfortable and effective cleaning.
Boka works with your body, not against it
Boka Brush
The Boka Brush is not only attractive, but also has sonic motor technology to ensure optimal plaque removal. The heads are made with soft nylon and are infused with activated-charcoal for maximum whitening and reduction in bacteria growth. The long-lasting battery provides 4 weeks of brushing between charges.
Ela Mint Toothpaste
Ela Mint was created to address the “silent epidemic” in healthcare. Instead of fluoride (first used +100 years ago), our toothpaste features nano-hydroxyapatite (n-Ha), a modern evolution in dentistry that’s become a gold standard in Japan for over 40-years. Ela Mint features nano-hydroxyapatite, a modern evolution in medicine and dentistry (the mineral makes up the primary foundation of teeth and bones—that’s why it’s so restorative). Plus, it’s 100% non-toxic and fluoride-free.
Rasana Tongue Cleaner
The Rasana stainless-steel tongue cleaner is both easy to use and effective. While tongue cleaning has been a tradition in Eastern and Ayurvedic medicine to both reduce bacteria causing bad breath, illness, and improve taste, most people are improperly cleaning their tongue today. Hold cleaner with two hands by each handle and position at the back of the tongue and gently pull. You’ll soon discover why this is the most important oral care routine that you haven’t been doing.
Your mouth thanks you for your flossing habit. Your dental bills do as well. Keep your good habit going strong with our natural floss. Made with vegetable wax, it’s Teflon-free, petroleum-free and provides a thorough, satisfying clean.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Boka floss truly free of PFAS and Teflon?
Yes. Boka is independently formulated without PFAS, Teflon, or other per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, and uses a plant-based vegetable wax instead, which is part of the clean-label promise.
Can I use this floss if I have allergies to artificial flavoring or dyes?
The formula is free from artificial dyes, and the flavoring system is built around naturally derived mint, cinnamon, and fruit notes. If you have a specific allergy, we recommend reviewing the full ingredient list on the product page or consulting your allergist.
Is the floss safe for people with gluten intolerance or celiac disease?
Yes. Boka is certified gluten-free, so it is suitable for users managing gluten sensitivity, celiac disease, or households choosing gluten-free personal care across the board.
Does the woven microfiber shed or break apart in the mouth?
The woven construction is engineered to remain intact during normal flossing, and the strands do not fray or shed like lower-quality floss, even in tight or overlapping spaces.
Is the dispenser made with safe, food-grade materials?
The dispenser is built from standard cosmetic-grade plastic components designed for bathroom use, and the floss itself is coated with food-safe vegetable wax, so contact with the mouth and hands is safe.
I'm worried about hidden chemicals in 'natural' floss, how do I verify the ingredient list?
The full ingredient list is published on the product packaging and on the brand's website, and Boka's PFAS-free, Teflon-free, vegan, and cruelty-free claims are part of their public clean-label positioning, which you can cross-reference before purchase.
Is Boka safer than petroleum-waxed nylon floss for daily use?
For users concerned about long-term exposure to petroleum derivatives and fluorinated compounds, Boka's vegetable wax and PFAS-free formulation is generally considered a safer, cleaner alternative by clean-label standards.
How does Boka compare to Teflon-coated floss for chemical exposure?
Teflon-coated flosses contain polytetrafluoroethylene, a member of the PFAS chemical family, and Boka explicitly excludes both Teflon and PFAS, replacing them with a plant-based vegetable wax for the same glide performance.
Is woven floss safer for sensitive gums than traditional nylon floss?
Many dentists consider woven floss gentler because the microfiber strands expand to fit the space rather than snapping into tight contacts, reducing the risk of gum cuts and bleeding for sensitive users.
I'm concerned about microplastics, does this floss shed plastic particles?
Boka is a textile-grade woven microfiber strand, not a microbead product, and is designed to remain intact during use, but it is not currently marketed as biodegradable, so it should be disposed of in regular waste rather than composted.
Is the product safe to use during pregnancy or while nursing?
The clean-ingredient formula contains no ingredients known to be contraindicated during pregnancy or nursing, but we always recommend discussing personal care products with your OB-GYN or midwife if you have specific concerns.
What if I have a reaction to the flavoring, is there a money-back option?
Return and refund policies are set by the retailer, so we recommend checking the specific shop's return policy, but most major retailers allow returns on unopened personal care products if you experience an unexpected reaction.
Can my entire family, including kids, safely use the same flavor?
Yes. The flavors are formulated to be safe across age groups, and Strawberry Mango is often the most popular for younger users, while Ela Mint and Cinna Mint work well for adults and teens in the same household.
How do I use Boka expandable woven floss correctly?
Pull out about 18 inches of floss, wind most of it around your middle fingers, and hold a short section taut between your thumbs and index fingers. Gently guide the strand between teeth using a back-and-forth motion, then curve the floss into a C-shape against each tooth and slide it below the gumline. The woven fibers will expand on contact with saliva to clean the full interdental space.
How long does one 30-yard spool last with daily use?
For a single adult flossing once per day with about 18 inches per session, a 30-yard spool typically lasts four to six weeks. Two daily users in the same household should expect roughly two to three weeks per spool.
Can I reuse a strand of floss for multiple teeth?
Yes. You can use the same 18-inch section across all your teeth, simply winding the used portion onto one finger and unwinding fresh floss as you move from tooth to tooth. The floss is not single-use per tooth, but it should be discarded after each full flossing session.
Does this floss work with a water flosser or interdental brush instead?
Boka is a strand floss designed for manual use and is not a replacement for a water flosser or interdental brush. Many users combine Boka with a water flosser for a layered routine, but the woven strand is not compatible with water flosser tips or flosser handles that require specific ribbon floss.
Is the dispenser compatible with refill spools from other brands?
Boka's dispenser is designed for Boka refill spools, and the fit and tension are calibrated specifically for our woven strand thickness. Using off-brand refills may cause feeding issues or strand slippage, so we recommend sticking with Boka-branded refills for best performance.
What comes in the box when I order Boka floss?
Each order includes one Boka manual dispenser pre-loaded with the selected flavor spool, available in single, two-pack, or three-pack configurations depending on the variant you choose. The dispenser is ready to use immediately, with no assembly required.
Is Boka floss safe for people with sensitive gums or gum recession?
Yes. The woven microfiber design is widely recommended by dental professionals for users with sensitive gums, gum recession, or a history of bleeding while flossing, because the soft fibers expand to clean without the snap of traditional nylon.
Does the floss have a strong aftertaste that lingers?
No. All three Boka flavors are formulated to be subtle and to dissipate quickly after use, so the flavor does not linger or interfere with food, beverages, or other personal care products used immediately after flossing.
What is the difference between woven floss, tape floss, and traditional nylon floss?
Traditional nylon floss is a twisted or bonded multi-filament strand, tape floss is a wide flat ribbon designed for wider spaces, and woven floss uses a textile-like weave of microfibers that expand with saliva. Woven floss is often preferred by users who want a single product that works across both tight and wider interdental spaces without shredding.
