NOTE: MY-YOGA Cork Eco Mat is made with natural rubber, no TPE! There are lots of eco mats out there and many of those use TPE (Thermoplastic elastomers) which is a mix of rubber and plastic therefore not completely natural like rubber.
Why cork?
Cork is a wonderful gift of nature!
Cork is the bark of the Cork Oak tree, a renewable material harvested in harmony with nature. No tree is cut down, the bark is simply removed carefully from the trees every nine to twelve years. The bark regrows naturally, just as a gift. These amazing trees live up to 200 years and help with biodiversity.
Cork is totally natural, non-toxic, antibacterial and renewable, that’s why we use it for our mats.
Cork has also amazing non slip proprieties that increase with moist, so if your hands get sweaty, your mat gets naturally grippier! Try lightly spraying the mat with water at the beginning of your practice for extra grip, let it dry naturally after.
Why natural rubber?
We want our mat to be as natural as possible and mainly plant based, that’s why we choose natural rubber and not the cheaper TPE, which is rubber mixed with plastic.
Natural rubber is made with the sap of the rubber tree. No tree is cut down, the sap is taken by making a thin diagonal cut to take off a bit of bark, allowing the latex sap to drip out.
Please note: natural rubber contains latex so our mat is not suitable to you if you have a latex allergy.
How to clean your cork mat
Cork has natural antibacterial proprieties so it keeps itself clean, but if you like to give it an extra clean, you can simply use some warm water and cloth to wipe it. Make sure that you let it dry fully before rolling it up.
For any stains you can use a kitchen sponge or nail brush with a little soapy warm water.
