| Our line of Nontoxic Yoga Mats is SGS tested and constructed from PVC foam, without the use of toxic plasticizers or phthalates. A standard PVC mat may have a little bit more stickiness than a nontoxic mat, but we believe this is more than outweighed by the potential negative impact of phthalates and heavy metals used in manufacturing. They can also have a strong odor upon first opening and unrolling. Nontoxic mats can also have an odor after first opening. If it occurs, it is due to the mats being shrink wrapped after production and some gasses being trapped, and it is an issue that any other mats of the same type can have. Other mats of similar material construction have been called PER mats, Non P mats, and Clean PVC mats. If your mat has an odor after opening, please give it some time to air out, as it will dissipate. Our mats are manufactured in Taiwan, the country where this type of mat was invented, and where the highest quality factories for producing them are located. We work hard to make high qualieco friendly, and fairly priced products for you. |
