TURKISH COTTON / HAND MADE / FAIR-TRADE / ECO & THE FLAMINGO LOOFAH
We love our friends at Eco & The Flamingo, and have been looking for products of theirs to carry. This one is our first! Say goodbye to those micro plastic-leeching plastic loofahs that we are all used to and hello to these hand knit cotton poufs. Use them to exfoliate and soap up in the shower by adding soap to the outer parts of the pouf. As they do get quite heavy in the shower and take a full 1 to 2 days to completely dry, they are a bit different than their non-sustainable plastic friends- but we promise, they are super great once you give them a try! Care instructions are on the link below, but they are machine washable and will last for a whole year or two! *These are made by two small teams of women in Turkey who are paid fair wages for their production, giving them a way to earn money at home.

GUPPYFRIEND WASHING BAG / REDUCES MICROPLASTIC POLLUTION! Did you know that clothing made from Polyester, Nylon, Acrylic, Viscose/Rayon, Fleece + Microfleece, Elastane/Spandex/LYCRA + Acetate are actually made from plastics? These synthetic fibers leach into our waterways in the way of microfibers + microplastics making our water systems toxic for us + the marine life that live there.
The best remedy? Buy used clothing before new. Look for items made of biodegradable textiles like Cotton, Linen/Flax, Hemp, Jute, Ramie, Sisal, Kenaf, Alpaca, Angora, Cashmere, Mohair, Silk, Wool, etc. And for those items we just love too much or cant find natural alternatives for like some undergarments, swimwear, or that cute fuzzy fleece, there is Guppyfriend- a bag designed by surfers who run a closed-loop eco group. Strange enough, Guppyfriend is made from nylon, a sythetic fiber. Counter productive? We thought so too. After speaking with Guppyfriend, they assured us that the weave is so tight as to not loose fibers itself. It is also not treated with chemicals like most other textiles + because synthetics are not biodegradable, the Guppyfriend will last a very long time as a tool to help keep your microplastics + fibers from getting into the stream! It keeps on average 86% of microplastics from shedding in the wash. :) + sales support the non profit : STOP! microplastics
