Product reviews from our experts…

An exfoliating mitten has been a classic bathroom staple in our house for years, so it’s great to see it being reinvented in a sustainably conscious way. with up to 250 uses – makes it efficient and practical with great outcomes for the skin!

It’s inspiring to see the mittens created in a foreign country where the traditional practices (of ancient looms) are honoured and preserved throughout the business. When we preserve ancient practices we also protect culture and community.

–Montana Lower

Never ever will I go without this highly effective exfoliating mitten in my life again and quite honestly I cannot believe I was previously walking around with all those excess skin cells! I love the selfcare, Hammam (Turkish bath) style ritual that goes along with using this exfoliator too – a ritual that is now a part of my weekly routine!

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 was really impressed by how this glove gave a deep exfoliation while still feeling gentle on my skin – not scratchy! I also love their dedication to the longevity of their product rather than single (or few) use products. Their commitment to ensuring safe and ethical practices at their manufacturing facilities speak to the integrity of the brand.
