Our SkinMate range is a highly sustainable alternative. Our Skinmate range has all the benefits that regular salon towels have (including that super soft feeling) along with being super absorbent. 

Another great thing about our eco-friendly SkinMate range is that they’re biodegradable, which is especially important in a salon environment.
