REBEL GREEN PRESS RELEASE - - NOVEMBER 2010 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Rebel Green Launches Yoga Mat Spray with Essential Oils
You don’t have to be neurotic about germs to wonder what’s lurking on your exercise and yoga mat after you’ve finished a workout. Experts are warning that sports gear including that innocent looking mat is the latest hotbed of fungus, viruses and bacteria. Breakout eco-brand Rebel Green has a natural solution to getting your most personal workout accessory clean: Rebel Green Yoga Mat Spray(www.rebelgreen.com).
Dermatologists are reporting a sharp rise in the number of skin infections in patients who practice yoga, pilates and use public mats. (New York Times). Dirty, sweaty exercise mats are most likely to blame. That’s not surprising considering more than 15 million people practice yoga in the US alone. Brand new to the yoga scene, eco-brand, Rebel Green’s new product was specifically designed to get those exercise mats squeaky clean. Rebel Green Yoga Mat Spray is the first wash of its kind that has aroma therapeutic qualities. Rebel Green’s Yoga Mat Spray comes in three different scents to match your mood: “Bliss” with pink grapefruit, bergamot and lavender, “Clarity” with peppermint and lemon, and “Wisdom” with frankincense and pine, just in time for the holidays.
So how does it work? Rebel Green Yoga Mat Spray uses certified organic oils specially formulated to keep your yoga mat clean and smelling good. Essential oils from coconut, jojoba, lemongrass, cedarwood, tea tree and eucalyptus have cleansing and therapeutic properties.
Here are some disturbing facts:
- Did you know that the average mat may contain 100-thousand bacteria per square inch?
- Fecal matter is brought in on shoes, left on bare feet and is walked right into the yoga studio.
The product’s stylish packaging draws attention to this overlooked but highly necessary product. Many studios and gyms don’t offer a cleaner but do lend out communal mats. If a cleaner is offered, it’s often a caustic, commercial disinfectant spray with a toxic smell. These cleansers are not intended for use on your yoga mat and come with a warning to avoid contact with skin. Rebel Green’s Yoga Mat Spray leaves your mat deodorized and kissed with essential oils. The spray comes in two convenient sizes: 4 oz ($7.99) and 8 oz ($9.99). Both sizes fit perfectly in your yoga bag.
