Hippopotamus Brand Products

Hippopotamus was the first brand in the Japanese organic towel market to develop vivid colors (other than white). This year marks its 15 th year of operation. They carry 11 permanent colors, and develop these unique hues to dye their fabrics in. By creating our blend of 63% organic cotton and 37% bamboo rayon (sustainably recycled bamboo fibers), Hippopotamus towels are more absorbent and display a silk-like sheen. Their innovative and eco-friendly bamboo rayon, developed from sustainably recycled bamboo fibers, is repeatedly made in 3-year cycles. Their drainage is disinfected in a waste water treatment for over 5 hours before flowing back to the Seto Inland Sea. Hippopotamus makes their eco-friendly and sustainable products while being conscientious of issues stemming from water pollution.
