This exfoliating shower mitt is ideal to just use with soap. Handmade in England with ethically sourced cotton, this heavyweight shower glove works with your chosen soap.

- Nuit (bergamot, ginger, palma rosa, sandalwood)
- Be (mandarin, cardamom, ylang ylang, cedarwood)
The labels are biodegradable and compostable. To remove, just soak off with warm water and add to your compost bin. Each sale benefits the Marine Conservation Society and Surfers Against Sewage, to help protect our oceans from plastic pollution.
