Bath tools

Plant-fiber scrubbers and natural-bristle brushes for everyday washing and gentle exfoliation.

The fibers against your skin determine how a bath tool feels and wears. We favor natural materials without added antimicrobial treatments and identify animal-derived bristles where used. Brushes and scrubbers should rinse clean and dry thoroughly; firm scrubbing is not necessary for an effective wash.
