Care

The Jungle Culture company strongly believes that businesses should bear the responsibility to ensure that their products are made ethically. They have created an ethical supply chain, powered by small farms, craft workshops and transparent factories. Part of their philosophy as an ethical business is to empower and support developing communities by working together to create environmentally friendly, unique plastic-alternatives. This is why they take a hands-on approach to product sourcing and build deep relationships with their team of craftsmen and women. When they design and create their sustainable products, they take the time to visit the farms and workshops that manufacture them first, oversee their operation and ensure that everything is created fairly, while minimizing waste.

The Jungle Culture cutlery sets are hand carved at a carpentry studio located approximately 150km from Hanoi, in the rural province of Thanh Hoa. The topography of Thanh Hoa province makes it the perfect location for bamboo growth. Large swathes of the region are covered in steep, rocky mountains and the annual rainfall average in Thanh Hoa sits at around 70 inches. This unique ecosystem in Thanh Hoa means that bamboo can grow in abundance, and can be sustainably farmed by local people who have used it for construction and handicrafts for generations.

The Jungle Culture team partnered with a group of talented artisan craftspeople committed to supporting ethical and organic production and use only basic tools to aid the creation of their products. The owner of the farm and craft workshop that produces these cutlery sets is called Le Xuan Ha or "Ha" for short which means river in Vietnamese. He is a naturist and lives in a compound of 5 bamboo houses that he helped build, surrounded by mountains. The popularity of the hand-carved utensil sets has prompted Há to employ and train his family, friends and several other villagers. Providing them with jobs and skills while he has turned his focus to building bamboo houses which serve as accommodation for members of the local community.

Há treats his workers with respect and pays them fairly. He now employs between 5-10 people who carve cutlery and help with the construction of his bamboo houses. The pouches that house the sets are hand sewn by a group of seamstresses in Hoi An, Vietnam.

Jungle Culture is a proud member of the 1% for the Planet global organization and movement. They pledge 1% of their sales to the preservation and restoration of the natural environment. They donate to domestic and international grassroots and environmental groups which helps make a difference in their local communities.

Utensils are completely handmade with organic bamboo. The pouches are made using natural jute and organic cotton. The printed tag is made using a synthetic material. Comes complete with a bamboo straw and coconut cleaner.

A handmade fair trade alternative to disposable plastic cutlery.

This product is package free.

Bamboo cutlery and bamboo straw are biodegradable and compostable. Simply break up your cutlery or chop them into a few pieces to help them biodegrade and place them in your compost bin with excess food and organics. If you do not have a compost bin, your reusable cutlery and straws are essentially sticks! Just break them into a few pieces and toss them into the soil in your garden. Insects and plants will have no trouble breaking them down.

Straw cleaner can be separated at the end of life. The coconut fibers are compostable, while the wire can be recycled in metal recycling.

The pouches are made using natural jute and organic cotton and are biodegradable and compostable once you remove the printed tag. These can also be recycled as a textile.

Looking for a great functioning plastic straw alternative? Bamboo is one of the best materials for reusable straws. Small size is perfect for cocktails and sodas, medium is best for milkshakes and juice, large is great for Boba tea and smoothies!

Help beat plastic pollution with bamboo that is 100% Organic, sustainably harvested and handcrafted by small family farms in rural Vietnam with a safe and non-toxic process.

These reusable bamboo straws are an eco-friendly and sustainable solution to plastic, made without the need for any harmful pesticides or chemicals. They are grown and handcrafted in rural Vietnam. Fully biodegradable and 100% organic.

How to clean Bamboo Straws:
1) We advise people to boil their bamboo straws in a little salt and vinegar before using them for the first time. This helps to remove any residue, or remove any ‘woody’ aroma.

2) After each use, rinse your plant based drinking straws under the tap and every so often clean the inside using a cleaning brush. You can even put your Jungle Straws in the dishwasher, but make sure to switch off the hot & dry function and dry them immediately. Easy? We told you so!

3) Always allow your bamboo straws to dry fully but fear not; they dry very quickly! Store your straws in a well-ventilated place, and never in air-tight containers or jars.

4) Aside from keeping your Jungle Straws dry, keep them well-ventilated as well.

Tip: Leaving your Jungle Straws to dry naturally in sunlight turns your straws into a bright shade of golden yellow!

These Bamboo Straws are produced by Jungle Straws, a socially responsible company that manufactures and supplies SGS certified, food safe bamboo straws and eco-friendly products that promote sustainable living. Since the beginning, Jungle Straws has worked to support, educate, and inspire individuals and businesses of all kinds to make the switch to reusable and zero waste alternatives in order to reduce the devastating effects that single-use plastic pollution is having on our planet. They oversee all aspects of the manufacturing and supply chain operations in person, including the source of the raw materials in Vietnam and work to build ethical relationships with the artisans with whom they work alongside.
Jungle Straws proudly challenges modern production techniques that place too much emphasis on profit at the expense of people and our environment. Their values in eco-sustainability are not just about how cheaply a product can be manufactured. Instead, it is of great importance that their bamboo straws are sourced responsibly, using natural and organic materials. This limits waste throughout the entire production process, and helps to support local communities in rural areas. Their farms and workshops use sustainable bamboo and natural materials, grown responsibly in Vietnam. During the harvest and production phase, no chemicals are used. Their bamboo is cultivated organically, without the need for any harmful fertilizers or pesticides, and so growing it doesn’t contribute to any unwelcome elements entering ground-water.
Why use bamboo? Not only does it look and feel great, but it is 100% sustainable, fully biodegradable, and can be harvested in as little as 3-5 years. Bamboo releases 35% more oxygen into our atmosphere and absorbs more carbon dioxide when compared to other plants. Jungle Straws reusable alternatives and zero waste swaps help reduce the heart-breaking and saddening use of plastic and single use plastic items, which are contributing to the demise of wildlife and ocean habitats all around the world.

EU Regulation 1935/2004 covers all food contact materials and articles which are intended to come into contact with food. The regulation ensures that food contact materials do not threaten human health, or change the composition, odor, or taste of the food product.

HOW TO SOFTEN A CONDITIONER BAR.
Place one conditioner bar inside a lidded container.
Fill with a few ounces of water to cover the bar, let sit for 24 hours, flipping over half way through for each side of the bar to soak up water.
The bar will plump up in size and will be soft, like the texture of cream cheese.
The more water you use, the larger and softer the bar gets.
After the initial soak, you can easily adjust the water to bring the bar to a softness you like best.
Use a container that is wider than the bar to accommodate the increase in bar size and for you to be able to easily remove it once softened.
This bar will last you for months, even with regular use.

ALL BARS ARE FREE OF USE OF THE INGREDIENTS LISTED BELOW.

SYNTHETIC FRAGRANCES FREE
These are exempt from labeling requirements and regarded as “trade secrets”. There is no way to determine what the individual ingredients are, and may include phthalates. These have been linked with the aggravation of asthma, headaches, allergic reactions and possible long term central nervous system disorders.

NO PARABENS
Found in many cosmetics as a preservative. Suspected links between parabens and breast cancer. Be sure to avoid deodorant containing parabens since it’s applied close to the breast area, every day for many, many years.

SODIUM LAURYL SULFATE (SLS)/SODIUM LAURETH SULFATE (SLES) FREE
There are nearly 16,000 studies in the PubMed science library about the toxicity of this chemical that can be found on the SLS page on Environmental Working Group’s (EWG) website. It is present in nearly all shampoos, scalp treatments, hair color and bleaching agents, toothpaste, body washes and cleansers, make-up foundations, liquid hand soaps, and laundry detergents. Although SLS originates from coconuts, the chemical is anything but natural.

1,4-DIOXANE FREE
Any discussion of SLS/SLES must include a discussion of 1,4 dioxane because the manufacturing process of SLS/SLES results in its being contaminated with 1,4 dioxane—a known carcinogen. (NOT to be confused with Dioxin)

PROPYLENE GLYCOL FREE
Primarily used as a solvent and an aid to absorption through the skin. The main concerns are that this material may be a primary skin irritant and there are possible links to liver abnormalities and kidney damage.

NO TRICLOSAN
Primarily added to cosmetics as an anti-bacterial agent. It belongs to a class of chemicals known as chlorophenols and is suspected of causing cancer in humans.

TALC FREE
Sometimes used in deodorants for its ability to absorb moisture and provide a “smooth” feel under the arms. Because of the particle size, it may “block” the underarm pores producing the effect of an antiperspirant. Talc is closely related to the potent carcinogen asbestos. Talc particles have been shown to cause tumors in the ovaries and lungs of cancer victims. http://www.preventcancer.com/consumers/cosmetics/talc.htm

NO PETROCHEMICALS
The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health has found that 1/3 of the substances used in the fragrance industry are toxic. But because the chemical formulas of fragrances are considered trade secrets, companies aren’t required to list their ingredients but merely label them as containing “fragrance”. 95 percent of chemicals used in fragrance are from petroleum. This one word can contain many, many chemicals that don’t need to be listed and are likely endocrine disrupters. This is why these bars only use Essential Oils for scenting.

Shampoo: Coconut Oil, Water, Sodium Coco Sulfate. French Yellow Clay, Blend of Wild Orange, Palmarose, Pink Grapefruit Essential Oils.

Mostly happy

I love the shampoo bar. It lathers up easily, has a very pleasing floral aroma, and I’ve had consistently good hair days. The conditioner has been disappointing, as it barely lathers, and it leaves me feeling like I’m not getting any in my hair. But, in using both, as above, I’ve been happy with my hair, so I’ll be sticking with it.

Leaf Twig Razor | Black

$59.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

The Twig Razor is the best stainless steel and eco friendly razor for hard to reach places. Leaf Shave’s elegant design is reusable with a replaceable blade on a pre-angled fixed head. Easy to use small design glides along the skin. Backed by a lifetime warranty and results in smooth skin and a clean planet.

The Twig by virtue of being the smallest-head on a safety razor, excels in shaving small, tight, or sensitive areas. In general, it is a particularly good razor for intimate areas given its size and precision control. Includes one Twig Razor and one 5-blade starter pack.

How to load the razor:
Step One: Open the blade holder by twisting the bottom of the handle clockwise.
Step Two: Load a single-edge blade into your Twig.
Step Three: Then, secure the blade by twisting the bottom of the handle counterclockwise until finger-tight.

Caring for your razor:
Give your razor head a thorough rinse inside and out after shaving to get rid of any shaving soap or hair. Rinse the blades, and then allow them to dry (or blow the water off of them) before re-loading.

Periodically run your razor through a deeper clean. Use a drop of dish soap and a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and scrub in the nooks and crannies. For tougher build-ups or hard water marks, soak your razor in a solution of 1 part white vinegar and 1 part water for up to 10 minutes, then scrub with a drop of dish soap and a soft brush before towel drying. The black matte finish is generally 'softer' and are more likely to show wear, tear and love over time.

Leaf Shave products are made of metal, built to last, and backed by a lifetime warranty. Shaving with Leaf unlocks the very inexpensive (but high quality) use of safety razor blades which allows you to replace your blades at about one-tenth the cost of disposable plastic cartridges. You will see a return on your investment quickly, saving on overpriced disposable blades. If for any reason a razor has reached the end of its life, instead of sending it to a landfill, you can recycle it through scrap-metal streams. All Leaf Shave products are cruelty-free too.

Zinc alloy and stainless steel razor.
Razor blades are made using cold-forged Swedish steel, with a platinum coating to stay sharper longer.

For your razor:
Leaf Shave razors are under a Lifetime Warranty. If anything goes wrong with your razor because of a manufacturing defect, you can reach out to the company at hello@leafshave.com to assess the use of your razor's warranty. You must be the original purchaser (with proof of purchase). If it was a gift, you must be able to verify the original order or purchaser information. If the issue is under warranty, Leaf Shave will repair or replace the razor. If the razor has reached the end of its life, it can be stripped down and recycled through scrap-metal streams.

For the razor blades:
Leaf Shave makes it easy to recycle used safety razor blades. Their blade takeback program lets you send blades back for recycling through scrap metal streams. To do this, simply secure the tin with tape, pack it up and send it to:
Leaf Shave c/o RECYCLE
48 Taugwonk Spur Road Unit 2
Stonington, CT 06378

The tin will hold a couple of hundred blades, so you do not have to send them in too often. Additionally, this takeback program will accept blades back in any durable tin; you could, for example, upcycle an old mints tin!

Alternatively, you can recycle your razor blades with your local scrap metal recycling facility too.
