Flush-it Melting Pad

A flushable and water-biodegradable toner pad infused with a 99% natural-origin soothing essence. The fabric is a blend of VEOCEL Lyocell fibers and wood pulp, combined using a plant-based Eco Disperser technology. The fibers are cut short to create shortcut fibers, which allows the fabric to disintegrate during the sewage treatment process. This creates a biodegradable fabric that fully decomposes under water pressure during sewage treatment and then undergoes a secondary biological decomposition by microorganisms, so it fully biodegrades. Additionally, by using more than 50% pulp, the fabric increases the moisture content of the essence, for better transfer of the essence to the skin and enhanced absorption. The essence’s ingredients include cooling erythritol and mushroom extract, alongside betaine, Mentha rotundifolia leaf extract, Camellia sinensis leaf extract, and thyme leaf extract, which all provide moisture.

Technology Features
The fabric is made by blending VEOCEL Lyocell fibers and wood pulp using plant-based Eco Disperser technology. The fibers are cut short to create shortcut fibers, allowing the fabric to disintegrate during the sewage treatment process. This represents a new concept of biodegradable fabric that fully decomposes under water pressure during sewage treatment and undergoes secondary biological decomposition by microorganisms, ultimately returning to nature. Additionally, by using more than 50% pulp, the fabric increases the moisture content of the essence, enabling greater transfer of the essence to the skin and enhancing absorption.
Sustainability List of Certifications
- Korea VEGAN certification - Flusability test report: INCA/EDANA Flushability Assessment Guidlines, Fourth Edition (GD4) - KOTITI Test : No fluorescent whitening agents, no formaldehyde - Natural Origin Index (ISO16128) 0.99
How to use it
1) After attaching it to the area that needs moisturizing/soothing for 10-15 minutes, take it off and tap the remaining essence to absorb it. 2) Lightly sweep the area that needs to be exfoliated with a pad and apply the essence on top of the fabric. / Use it as method 1 in the evening when intensive moisturizing and calming effects are needed, and use it as method 2 in the morning when skin texture is needed before make-up.
