Rawganic will soon be making wipes from bamboo. Bamboo is an incredibly prolific plant which, through modern manufacturing processes, can be made into a very strong and soft fabric. The raw material has been used for centuries for housing, flooring, furniture and ornaments; we have only just begun to unlock its potential as a fabric. Bamboo is used in clothing as an environmental alternative; it is strong, durable, biodegradable and versatile – in short, an ideal fabric.
Good for the environment
Farming bamboo is very good news for the environment. Bamboo is a grass and so grows quickly and spreads rapidly; it reaches its maximum height in just three months. It requires barely any human intervention to thrive and produces very high yields. Not only this, but bamboo consumes much more carbon dioxide than other plants.
Pesticide free
Bamboo naturally contains an agent called “bamboo kun” which means it can be grown without pesticides or chemicals. This means no harmful chemicals can leech into the local ecosystem or waterways. The anti-microbial properties of the bamboo plant are actually retained in the bamboo fabric, meaning they are naturally bacteriostatic and so require fewer preservatives to maintain the quality of the wipe. The material is incredibly soft and 100% biodegradable.
Good for your skin
The result of this wonderful resource is an incredibly soft but strong wipe, which feels luxurious against your skin. The natural antimicrobial effect gives your skin a deep cleanse and helps prevent breakouts. On top of this, all our wipes are parabens, SLS and alcohol free. They never have been and never will be tested on animals.
Certified
Our bamboo wipes are certified bacteriostatic and carry the Oekotex certification.
