Bamboo is the ultimate renewable resource in the natural fiber market, as it is a
grass that grows quickly and requires no irrigation or fertilization. Known as the
fastest growing plant in the world, bamboo reaches maturity in 3-4 years vs. 70
years for most trees. Thanks to inherent biological traits that protect it from
pests and pathogens, bamboo doesn't require pesticides. Through its natural
ability to eliminate bacteria, biodegradable bamboo stays fresher and odor free
for longer and is more hygienic and healthier than any other fiber. In China,
bamboo fiber is used to make medical gowns and slippers, as it is naturally
antimicrobial and perfect for a sterile hospital environment.
Breathable bamboo cleansing cloths are extremely soft, and often compared to
the feel of cashmere. Bamboo, although soft, is strong and resilient. Unlike
cotton fiber it will not leave tiny fibers in eye lashes after removing mascara. The
bamboo used in kaia facial cleansing cloths is also unbleached one more way we
can keep things as free from chemicals as possible. |
