Eco Bath London Bamboo & Ramie Bath Puff — Soft Body Scrubber

Ditch the Plastic. Keep the Lather.

The Eco Bath London Bath Puff is a plastic-free alternative to the standard nylon shower puff — made from natural plant fibres that clean just as effectively, exfoliate more gently, and don't shed microplastics into the water supply. Available in two materials — bamboo and ramie — both are sustainably sourced, biodegradable, and designed to create a rich, generous lather with your preferred shower gel or soap.

At 49 g, it's compact and lightweight enough to travel with, and durable enough to last considerably longer than a standard plastic puff with proper care. A straightforward swap that makes a genuine difference.

Choose Your Material

Bamboo (ECOB102)
Bamboo fibre is naturally soft and smooth, making this the gentler of the two options. Ideal for normal to sensitive skin, or for anyone who wants effective cleansing without any abrasive sensation. Bamboo is one of the fastest-growing plants on earth, making it an exceptionally sustainable raw material.

Ramie (ECOB101)
Ramie is a natural plant fibre derived from the ramie plant (Boehmeria nivea), related to the nettle family. It is slightly firmer than bamboo, providing a more textured exfoliating action that is well suited to normal to resilient skin types. Ramie is naturally antibacterial and highly durable, making it an excellent long-term choice for regular use.

Key Features

Plastic-free construction
No nylon, no synthetic fibres, no microplastic shedding. Both variants are made entirely from natural plant fibres.

Gentle exfoliation
Removes dead skin cells and surface impurities without the harshness of a scrub brush or the ineffectiveness of a standard flannel.

Rich lather
Works with any shower gel, body wash, or soap bar to create a generous, even lather that covers the body quickly and rinses cleanly.

Stimulates circulation
The light friction of natural fibres against the skin encourages blood flow, leaving skin feeling refreshed and more alive after each use.

Suitable for all skin types
Choose bamboo for softer, more sensitive skin; choose ramie for a firmer exfoliation on normal to resilient skin.

Compact and travel-friendly
At 49 g, it fits easily into a wash bag and dries quickly between uses.

How to Use

Wet the bath puff under warm running water. Apply your preferred shower gel or soap directly to the puff and work into a lather. Use circular motions to cleanse and exfoliate the body, paying particular attention to rough areas such as elbows, knees, and heels. Rinse thoroughly after use and hang to dry in a well-ventilated area. Replace when the fibres begin to break down or the puff loses its shape.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the bamboo and ramie variants?
Bamboo fibre is softer and smoother, making it better suited to sensitive or normal skin. Ramie is slightly firmer and provides a more textured exfoliation, making it better suited to normal or resilient skin that benefits from a more active scrub. Both are plastic-free and biodegradable.

What is ramie?
Ramie (Boehmeria nivea) is a natural plant fibre from a plant related to the nettle family. It has been used in textiles for thousands of years and is known for its strength, durability, and natural antibacterial properties. It is one of the strongest natural fibres available.

Are these bath puffs biodegradable?
Yes. Both the bamboo and ramie variants are made from natural plant fibres and are biodegradable at end of life, unlike conventional nylon bath puffs which persist in the environment.

Can I use this with a soap bar?
Yes. The puff works well with both liquid shower gels and solid soap bars. Wet the puff, rub it against the soap bar to build a lather, then apply to the skin.

How do I care for the bath puff?
Rinse thoroughly after each use and hang to dry in a well-ventilated area. Avoid leaving it sitting in standing water as this will reduce its lifespan. Hand wash with mild soap when needed.

Is this suitable for sensitive skin?
The bamboo variant is the better choice for sensitive skin due to its softer texture. The ramie variant is slightly firmer and may be too stimulating for very reactive skin. If in doubt, start with the bamboo option.
