Organic Hemp Cotton Yoga Mat
Organic cotton yoga mat (with hemp backing), two sided for comfort. Many of our customers use this organic cotton yoga mat as a standalone organic cotton - hemp yoga mat (it doesn't have a sticky bottom, so you have to put your hands and feet on the wood floor for certain poses).
The organic cotton - hemp eco-friendly PVC-free non-toxic yoga mat is handcrafted in-house at the Rawganique Atelier in Europe. Our organic cotton yoga mat is sweatshop-free, unbleached & undyed, pesticide-free, GMO-free, dioxin-free, and formaldehyde-free. Our totally natural yoga mat is completely safe to you. When used as a liner on top of a sticky yoga mat (like our natural rubber yoga mat), the organic cotton yoga mat protects your skin from contact with rubber and also keeps the scents of natural rubber from you.
This unique earth-friendly organic hemp - cotton yoga mat is washable: machine wash in warm water (mild biodegradable detergent, gentle cycle). Hang to dry. Tumble dry on gentle cycle; remove promptly. Steam iron at cotton setting. Best to wash separately from other garments.
Our organic hemp - organic cotton yoga rug works as a wonderful organic prayer mat as well as an organic cotton meditation mat. Many customers also wrap their organic hemp - organic cotton yoga mat around them when the temperature turns chilly.
Customers often ask how our organic yoga mat is different from bamboo yoga mat, jute yoga mat, and conventional cotton yoga mat.
As it is made from 100% natural fiber materials, our organic cotton yoga mat is an eco mat, eco friendly yoga mat, natural fabric yoga mat, and non toxic yoga mat.
1) Bamboo yoga mat isn't a natural or chemical-free yoga mat. To transform hard bamboo lumber (we love bamboo plants for making furniture, etc..) into soft pulpy fiber, many acids and chemicals are used. The FDA has ruled that a manufacturer cannot use bamboo fiber as a label; instead they are required to label such products as "manmade rayon fiber from the bamboo plant." Just as white sugar bears very little resemblance to the sugar cane plant, so does so-called bamboo yoga mat bear any resemblance to the bamboo plant.
2) Jute yoga mats have been in use in India side by side with cotton and hemp yoga mats. When made naturally, jute yoga mats are safe to use. But hemp and organic cotton absorb moisture better than jute, which has a natural sheen on it, so many people prefer organic cotton and hemp yoga mats for a less slippery, more pleasant yoga practice.
3) Conventional yoga mats are made with cotton grown with chemical fertilizers and pesticides and hence aren't a good choice for yogis who are concerned about their health, safety, and the impact on the environment. Conventional cotton yoga mats often have many added chemical treatments during the production process as well.
