This yoga mat has an attractive, soft surface that provides serious traction & is suitable for most yoga styles. Its squeaky-clean reputation comes from the closed-cell structure that keeps sweat on the outside where it can easily be wiped away. The material is TPE (Thermal Plastic Elastomer), a substance that is decomposable, recyclable, & hypoallergenic. The yoga mat is light enough to go on vacation with you, but keep it out of the sun, because it’s biodegradable, so exposure to ultraviolet rays will cause it to have a breakdown! Why the Fushi Team like it Great grip & feel plus very easy to clean
