About the Product & How It Works

hYGEEN pouches are filled with refined, activated charcoal blended with natural salts and moisture-absorbing minerals, all sourced from renewable, plant-based materials. They're non-toxic and safe for total peace of mind.

hYGEEN uses premium-grade activated charcoal, which outperforms bamboo charcoal in both absorption and durability. Thanks to its ultra-porous structure, hYGEEN pouches capture more odor, moisture, and allergens—making them ideal for shoes, bags, fridges, and even sensitive spaces like kids’ areas. Unlike bamboo charcoal, hYGEEN’s activated charcoal stays effective for over 12 months and recharges easily under sunlight, offering a safer, longer-lasting, and eco-friendly freshness solution.

Unlike synthetic fresheners that mask bad smells with chemicals and have particles, hYGEEN eliminates odor at the source by absorbing bacteria and moisture. It's clean, residue-free, and fits tight spaces that sprays or powders can’t reach.

 Place the pouch directly into your shoes, gloves, helmet, or gym bag. It activates automatically upon contact with air & moisture and begins deodorizing and drying your gear within hours

No activation steps needed, hYGEEN arrives pre-sealed to lock in freshness and power. For extra peace of mind, you can place the pouch under direct sunlight for 1–2 hours before first use to naturally recharge and maximize its performance

hYGEEN  starts absorbing moisture and odor instantly. Noticeable freshness typically begins within 5–6 hours of use.

Recharge & Long-Term Use

Yes, indirect sunlight or window sunlight works too, just leave it out longer (6–8 hours). It’s still effective even without full sun.

No, hYGEEN requires UV rays and not heat, to recharge it effectively. Avoid artificial heat sources.

If your HYGEEN pouch gets wet, simply let it dry completely under direct sunlight. While it may lose a bit of absorption strength, it will still function effectively. The outer fabric is quick-drying and designed to handle light moisture—making it perfect for repeated use in everyday gear like shoes, gloves, gym bags, and more.

With monthly sun recharges, each pouch remains effective for 12+ months. After that, the contents can be composted or sprinkled in your garden soil.
