Will essential oils make my mat slippery?Updated 9 hours ago

Most yoga mats have a closed-cell construction, meaning they do not absorb liquids. Applying essential oils directly to your mat, or using a homemade oil-and-water mixture, can result in uneven oil distribution that may create slippery or sticky patches over time.

Manduka's Mat Wash & Refresh is specially formulated to keep the essential oils evenly dispersed throughout the solution, helping deliver a consistent application across the mat and reducing the risk of residue buildup that can affect grip and performance.
