Some materials used in yoga mats potentially contain chemicals that could be harmful to health. Oeko-Tex Certified mats have been tested and achieved a standard of 100 to prove that they do not contain any harmful substances that may damage your health.
It means that every component of the mat, from the fabric to any threads or accessories used, has been tested rigorously using a list of 350 toxic chemicals and certified free from all of them; this means your yoga mat is health-friendly and very safe.
