Plastic-free and ocean-friendly bamboo cotton swabs.

Use

These plastic free, toxin-free swabs are made from sustainably sourced bamboo and are a planet- (and people-) friendly alternative to traditional swabs.

Impact

One major brand manufactures 25.5 billion plastic-packaged swabs per year! Since swabs are not recyclable, many of them make their way into our landfills or waterways. Typical store-bought swabs are made from unsustainable cotton treated with herbicides and pesticides.

Ingredients / Materials

100% bamboo cotton.

End of Life

These swabs and the cardboard box they come in are 100% compostable!
