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.

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.

Rust proof, plastic free, stainless steel tongue cleaner.

The ancient Ayurvedic recommendation of tongue scraping is one that is often overlooked. There are many benefits to this daily practice for oral health, as well as overall physical and mental, health. Since the tongue and oral cavity are gateways between your mind-body system and the outside environment, maintaining the health of this vital organ is critical to general well-being.
