Does the eKO Series oxidize like other rubber mats on the market?Updated a day ago

Yes. Like all natural rubber yoga mats, the eKO Series can experience surface oxidation over time. Oxidation is a natural process that occurs when rubber is exposed to air, sunlight, moisture, and everyday environmental conditions. It may appear as fading, discoloration, or a duller surface.

However, the eKO Series is engineered to maintain its performance despite this natural aging process. Regular care can help minimize the appearance of oxidation and extend the life of your mat.

To help maintain the look and performance of your natural rubber mat, we recommend using Natural Rubber Yoga Mat Restore once per month. This specialized formula is designed to condition natural rubber, help reverse visible signs of surface oxidation, and restore your mat's original luster.

To further reduce oxidation:

• Store your mat away from direct sunlight.
• Keep it in a cool, dry place when not in use.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.
• Follow the recommended cleaning and care instructions for natural rubber mats.

Please note that some degree of oxidation is a normal characteristic of natural rubber and is not considered a manufacturing defect.
