About Merben Dry Brushes

Skin is our largest organ. When healthy, it’s the vehicle through which environmental pollutants and toxins are eliminated from the body. When not, pores become clogged and the “yucky stuff” stays inside us, where it can build up and wreak havoc.

Regularly dry brushing is so beneficial because it improves the body’s ability to detoxify by clearing away dead skin cells. It also increases blood flow and circulation (the bristles from the brush stimulate your lymphatic system, consequently speeding up the process of waste elimination). And as if that weren’t enough, dry brushing also easily and painlessly reduces the appearance of cellulite and leaves skin looking and feeling younger.

Our body brushes are:

ETHICALLY PRODUCED
Each brush is assembled in Sri Lanka, in a factory where workers are 18+ and never discriminated against based on gender, religion, language or cast. Most of the women employed have children and are given flexible working hours. Those who are unable to get to the factory due to family obligations (e.g. in charge of caring for a sick parent or baby) are given the opportunity to work from home.

SUSTAINABLY PRODUCED
Each body brush handle is fashioned from timber castoffs intended for landfill and treated with nontoxic paint sealer.

Jute is one of nature’s strongest and most affordable vegetable fibers. In India and Bangladesh (where we source ours from) some 4 million farmers earn their living and support 20 million dependents from jute cultivation, while hundreds of thousands more work in the jute manufacturing sector. The most popular natural fiber after cotton, it is widely produced and used to make an array of items including rope, carpets and wrapping fabrics.
