Phthalate Free
Phthalates are found in toys, electronics, personal care products, plastic wraps, containers, and more. These petroleum based chemicals help soften plastics, and bind fragrances to perfumes, deodorants, creams, and other personal care products. Phthalates are are not chemically bound, meaning they can easily get released into the air, water, or your body, just by using the products as intended. Phthalates have been found to disrupt the endocrine system, which can cause reproductive damage, hormonal imbalances, infertility, mood changes, metabolism changes, and more.

Hi there! The recycled PET (from plastic bottles!) keeps the moisture from the melting pack contained. Such a great option for on-the-go food storage!

Hi there! These ice packs will need to be placed in a landfill when they can no longer be used. We love this option because of it’s durable construction, meaning it can be used for years and years before needing to be discarded! For a multi-purpose option, we like to freeze water inside of Stasher bags for icepacks 🙂

This is a fantastic little ice pack and wonderful when you’re looking to reduce your impact and environmental footprint! I wish they made a bigger size! This one is so small and great for versatility but, especially right now that it’s mid-summer, it would be great if they made a bigger size, I’d buy two!!

I love that this is more eco friendly. Works well. Easy to use for different things due to small size and simplicity. I like that it has a hook for hanging in my freezer. Just what I needed. I may order another one or two since someone needed to borrow mine for a while and liked it.
