We use natural rubber because it grips better
and has more cushion than any of the synthetic rubbers on the market (PVC, PER,
TPE, EVA). It is also better for the earth as it is made sustainably.
Jade mats contain no PVCs, heavy metals or ozone
depleting substances. All components are approved by FDA for use in rubber in
continuous content with food.
Although Jade mats are 99% latex free, as they
from a rubber tree, there may be trace amounts of latex proteins in the mats so
we recommend persons with latex allergies avoid contact with our mats.
Jade mats are eco-friendly as they are made with
a renewable, sustainable resource - natural rubber, tapped from rubber trees.
Jade mats contain no PVC or other synthetic rubbers. Finally, through its
partnership with Trees for the Future, JadeYoga plants a tree for every yoga
mat you buy.
Jade mats are made in the United States in
compliance with all US environmental, labour and consumer safety laws.
USE & CARE
As Jade yoga mats act like sponges - and hold water, we recommend simple wiping the surface of your mat on a regular basis with plain water. If your mat needs an occasional deep cleaning, that is fine, but you should be aware that as Jade mats act like sponges, holding soap and water, you must be prepared to thoroughly rinse and dry your mat. You can wash your mats by soaking in a bathtub, hosing it off or in a front loading washing machine (no agitator) on gentle. We recommend a mild soap. Do not use oils, solvents or harsh abrasives. The yoga mat should then be hung or laid flat to dry. DO NOT DRY IN OR ALLOW PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO DIRECT SUNLIGHT.
