Hydrophil’s cotton swabs are made with bamboo sticks and “fluffy” cotton tips, rendering them fully compostable. The swabs are made without chlorine, and they are packed in a plastic-free, recycled paper carton. Hydrophil states that all of its products are “water-neutral,” meaning they were made using water-friendly practices and non-toxic paints; they are also all vegan and cruelty-free; and “manufactured fairly.”
The company also donates 10 percent of profits to Viva con Agua. You can order the swabs on Hydrophil’s website, or through Ecco Verde.
