Product reviews from our experts…

It’s easy to underestimate this mitt but it yields instant results by effectively removing dead skin cells. I like that it is plant-based and hence cruelty-free and sustainable in an industry that so readily utilises silkworms for this type of product.

An ideal product for travel, as you can roll it up and it takes virtually no space and performs very well without needing any other exfoliating products to go with it. Fair trade, fair employment, and cruelty-free are also all excellent values to implement!

–Neha Hobson

Where has this magical mitten been all my life!? There are no words to adequately describe how effective this exfoliating mitten is and how incredibly simple it is to use. After one use, my skin felt perfectly polished and my complexion was instantly brighter.

I love that Mitten Body uses 100% natural, plant-based cellulose fibres and therefore avoids silkworms, irritants and artificial dyes.The brand even makes their products on ancient looms, which require minimal electricity use – Amazing!

–Dominique Scott

I absolutely loved the innovation with this product. It did such a good job of exfoliating my skin without irritation. I love that it can be washed and reused. I love that there are various options for face and body depending on skin type. I’m also so impressed by the material used and the minimal environmental impact!
