Gentle Towels™ Transforms Your routine
Gentle Towels™
Transforms
Your routine
Reusable cloth towels can retain moisture, residue, and bacteria, even after washing. Gentle Towels™ are designed to give you a fresh, clean towel every time you reach for one. Even better, they’re versatile. Use dry to gently dab wet skin, or wet as a soft washcloth.
Reusable fabric towels can trap bacteria, moisture, residue, and detergents — even when freshly washed. Gentle Towels™ gives you
- A fresh towel every use
- Ozone purification for unmatched purity
- Zero fragrance, zero preservatives, zero nonsense
- Plush, ultra-soft fibers that protect the skin barrier
Use Dry or Wet

The LIFECYCLE of Gentle Towels™
A continuous cycle — from nature, to skin, and back.
Gentle Towels™ begin with wood pulp sourced from FSC®-certified, well-managed forests, which is transformed into a soft cellulose fiber designed for sensitive skin. This material remains 100% bio-based, allowing it to naturally return to the soil over time.
