Ever Bamboo Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

Ever Bamboo  offers a selection of bamboo charcoal products that purify/deodorize air and water, dehumidify, cleanse and nourish skin, and more. 


Ever Bamboo  offers a selection of bamboo charcoal products t


Ever Bamboo is:
  • ALL NATURAL bamboo charcoal
  • UNSCENTED ♦ eliminating instead of masking odors
  • RECHARGEABLE under sunshine every 30-60 days ♦ LASTS UP TO ONE YEAR
  • RECYCLABLE ♦ mix spent charcoal granules with soil
  • [sustainable + resuable + recyclable]

 

Isn’t it wonderful that Ever Bamboo products are 100% natural and can be recycled into the ecosystem!


For this review, Oma received three products to try and review. A Room Deodorizer and Dehumidifier, a Drawer Packet and HEI Face and Body soap.

Ever Bamboo A Room Deodorizer and Dehumidifier
A Room Deodorizer and Dehumidifier:
  • Absorbs odors & moisture
  • Place in bedrooms, bathrooms, pet areas, and large closets (areas up to 70 sqft)
  • 200 g
My husband’s home office suffered from pet odors. Therefore, Oma decided that was the perfect area for the Ever Bamboo Room Deodorizer and Dehumidifier. Oma was amazed how well it worked to remove that musky order from the office. It is hard to believe it worked so well, yet is unscented!

What Oma really loves about this product is that Ever Bamboo deodorizers are natural, safe and totally efficient for even the most malodourous part of your home!

Ever Bamboo Drawer Packet
Drawer Packet:
  • Absorbs odors & moisture
  • Prevents mildew buildup
  • Deters moths
  • 10 g x 8
The Ever Bamboo Drawer Packet came with 8 individual refills. I placed the packets in my drawers in the closet. Since the closet is next to our shower, they were very helpful in abating moisture. Oma learned that compared to regular charcoal, bamboo charcoal has ten times more surface area and is four times stronger in its absorption rate. Making bamboo charcoal the ideal deodorizer and dehumidifier in many places.

Every Bamboo HEI Face and Body Soap
HEI Face and Body Soap
  • Deep Cleansing
  • Clears pores
Oma has been using the soap for ten days now. It is a deep cleansing soap that has a negative ionic charge that helps stimulate blood flow and has anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. Oma found it pleasant on the skin. While my skin feels clean, it does not dry out Oma’s hands or face. It is really kind of fun having a black soap; quite the conversation starter.

 

As a family dedicated to living life more naturally, Oma is very pleased to have found Ever Bamboo. It has exceeded its claims.

Buster Brown Wearever Socks



Oma found the Wearever Socks by Buster Brown well-made and comfortable. The only negative was that they did not stay-up quite as well as Oma expected. However, the socks were perfect under Oma’s jeans and did not bind nor cause skin irritation. The best part of this product is that the socks did not leave any marks or "dents" on Oma’s legs; even after wearing them all day.
