Pact Organic Spa Rib Hand Towel 2-Pack ($30)
For those looking for an environmentally conscious way to keep the sweat out of your face, you'll want to look for a GOTS certification (Global Organic Textile Standard), says Sophia Ruan Gushée, founder of Ruan Living, a website dedicated to nontoxic living. "Currently, I'm loving towels by Pact because they're made of organic cotton that is GOTS Certified and claim to be free of toxic chemicals," she says.
Why we love it: The fact that it's GOTS-certified and claims to be free of toxic chemicals is a huge win. "Many towels are made of synthetic materials and chemicals that can break down into tiny particles that you can inhale and ingest (if they become dust-like particles and are on your fingertips)," Gushée says. Plus, reviewers rave about their incredible softness.
What's worth noting: While you don't need to shell out $30 for something that's made to collect your sweat, you can feel good about putting this on your body. Also, note that Pact offers free returns.
