Climate Beneficial™ Wool Sponges in Cream
Use wool sponges to do the dishes, wash your face and body, or clean surfaces. Clean and durable, these sponges do not get gross or smelly and last long. Organic wool is naturally antimicrobial and antifungal and is fully compostable.
100% Climate-Beneficial Wool
How to Wash: Rinse with warm water, squeeze out, and lay flat to dry. Use soap for stains. Please do NOT put them in the laundry machine, or they will warp. Sun is a natural sanitizer of wool. These sponges are made of wool and thus will shrink with initial use. Please DO NOT CUT THEM; they will shrink to the size of a regular sponge and get a bit more scrubby over time.
How long do they last? Most people report between 6 months to a year.
Sourced from Ferndale Farms in Ferndale, CA. This wool comes from well-tended sheep raised in Northern CA, benefiting the landscape, climate, and local economy. You can learn more about the ranchers, Jill Hackett, her family, and their animals online and on Instagram: @humboldtherder.
Climate Beneficial™ is verified by Fibershed (501c3 nonprofit), confirming that the fiber is grown on a farm or ranch operating under and actively implementing a Carbon Farm Plan. These plans are documents created between the farm or ranch and a third-party biologist, usually through a local Resource Conservation District (RCD) or Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) office.
The plans identify and quantify on-farm practices that sequester carbon from the atmosphere, thus giving accurate data on climate change amelioration associated with verified fiber products. In Fall 2019, Ferndale Farms will begin to develop its Carbon Farm Plan with Fibershed. They have rotated their livestock as a part of their land stewardship practice for four generations and implement techniques such as growing cover crops and maintaining wildlife habitat. When farms are climate-beneficial and Transitional, they develop their Carbon Farm Plan with a planner and implement carbon farming practices. Full Circle Wool is founded on the concept that human material needs can benefit our natural world.
The fiber that supplies our wardrobes, bedding, furniture, kitchens, and art practices can support regenerative farming and a regenerative economy, allowing people and the planet to thrive. 10% of profits go back directly to the farms to help implement more carbon farming practices.
In 2014, inspired by friends' children suffering from eczema and my experience as a holistic nutrition chef, I had an idea. I realized I could create a premium skincare line using high-quality, local ingredients. My aim was to revive the traditional use of nourishing, pasture-raised animal fats to help people with skin conditions like dry skin and irritations.
My dream took shape, focusing on sustainability and local resources. With indigenous roots, I believe in connecting to what we put on our skin and use in our homes. The farmers’ market and the Slow Body Movement® inspired me to build my brand around these principles.
Each ingredient has a story. I source from the highest quality, ethically responsible communities of ranchers and farmers in California's sustainable and regenerative agricultural community. Discover the transformative power of locally sourced, sustainable skincare with my premium line.

How to Store Tallow Balm:
Store your tallow balm in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
Why We Don’t Whip Our Balms:
We avoid whipping our balms to prevent introducing air and bacteria, which can inflate volume and compromise quality. Whipping can also cause melting, leaving less product in the jar. Instead, we hand-pour our tallow to preserve its full benefits and maintain authenticity.
Adjusting Balm Texture:
To soften your balm, immerse the closed container in warm water until melted. Remove the lid and let it cool in the refrigerator. This ensures the balm remains soft and easy to spread. Tallow solidifies in cold and softens in warm conditions.
Storing Tallow Soap:
Use a raised soap dish to allow handcrafted soap to dry between uses, prolonging its life.
Shelf Life of Tallow Products:
Our tallow products have a long shelf life, best used within nine months. For maximum effectiveness, use within 8-12 weeks of opening. We employ a food-grade preservative to maintain potency.
Tallow for Facial Use and Children:
Tallow is safe for most skin types, including sensitive skin. Rich in essential vitamins, it helps with conditions like eczema and diaper rash, making it a healthier alternative to synthetic creams.
Product Disclaimer:
Consult a medical professional or allergist before use, especially if you have known allergies or sensitive skin. Conduct patch tests to minimize the risk of adverse reactions. Your safety and satisfaction are our priorities.
Trimming Tallow Candle Wicks:
Our tallow-beeswax candles burn cleanly with Eco wicks. Trimming is optional but recommended for safety. Allow your candle to burn for about 4 hours for an even wax pool. Never leave a lit candle unattended.
