Frequently Asked Questions
What is Beautiful Benevolence?
Beautiful Benevolence is a small UK brand creating slow fashion and biodegradable accessories designed to feel beautiful, last longer and tread lightly on the planet.
What makes your scrunchies different?
Most scrunchies contain synthetic fabrics and petroleum-based elastic. The SAGE Biodegradable Scrunchie is handmade using carefully selected materials designed to reduce plastic and microplastic waste.
It's a small accessory but a meaningful swap.
Are your scrunchies biodegradable?
Yes. The SAGE Scrunchie is designed using biodegradable materials so it can break down naturally over time rather than lingering in landfill like conventional synthetic hair accessories.
Are your scrunchies compostable?
They are made from compostable and biodegradable materials. Composting conditions vary depending on environment (home compost vs industrial compost) but SAGE is designed to return to the earth far more gently than synthetic alternatives.
Do your scrunchies contain elastic?
They contain stretch but not the typical synthetic petroleum-based elastic found in most hair ties. Our scrunchies use a rubber stretch core inside an organic cotton casing.
Are they suitable for thick hair?
Yes. SAGE scrunchies are designed to be kind to hair as they are made from soft Liberty Tana Lawn fabric.
What fabric are your scrunchies made from?
Our scrunchies are made using Liberty of London cotton Tana Lawn, chosen for its exceptional quality, softness and longevity.
Do you offer gift wrapping?
All our scrunchies are gift wrapped, making the SAGE Scrunchie a thoughtful sustainable gift.
Is your packaging plastic-free?
Yes, orders are always packaged using plastic-free materials.
Where are your products made?
All Beautiful Benevolence pieces are handmade in the UK in small batches.
Do you take custom orders?
Occasionally. If you are looking for a particular fabric or gifting bundle, please contact us.
How do I care for my scrunchie?
We recommend gentle hand washing in warm water and air drying to keep your scrunchie looking beautiful.
