Set of 8 Bamboo Reusable Facial Rounds 

Green-up your daily facial routine by eliminating disposable cotton balls and facial rounds. Washable bamboo fleece rounds are a fantastic eco-friendly replacement, doing a better job and lasting through years of continued washing. Perfect for removing make-up, applying toner, and washing and exfoliating the face. The pads are also a great size for little ones to clean their faces after brushing teeth.

Made from 70% bamboo (OKEO-Tex100 standard) and 30% organic cotton. Each pad is 2 ply and approximately 3" diameter.
Edges are serged for durability and to prevent fraying.

Care: Rounds are not pre-washed, so wash and dry before use. To clean, loosen stains by rinsing under cold water, then add to wash on warm with like colours using your detergent of choice. Tumble or hang to dry. Fabric will become softer and reach maximum absorbency after a few wash cycles.
