What is Cork?
Cork comes from the bark of the Cork Oak Tree, a raw material that is known for its sustainability and versatility in creating modern products like yoga mats.
The Cork Oak Tree can live up to 250 years, and it is unharmed when harvested, as its bark naturally renews.
The remarkable natural material is found primarily in Portugal and Spain.
How Cork Yoga Mats are Made
The bark from the Cork Oak Tree is carefully removed, and the tree itself is never cut down.
The bark then undergoes a series of steps, including curing, cleaning, and inspection to guarantee the use of the highest quality cork.
The top-quality cork is molded together to create the slip-resistant and absorbent top layer, while the bottom layer consists of 100% natural rubber for added slip resistance and cushioning.
