Bean Products Hemp Shower Curtain
100% hemp fabric with no PVC, no vinyl, no plastic liner needed. Unlike plastic shower curtains that off-gas phthalates and shed microplastics in steam. See our plastic-free bathroom guide for more swaps.

Why it's safe for your family
- Made from 100% hemp fabric, so it needs no PVC or vinyl liner behind it — the curtain is the whole thing.
- Bean Products uses 9 oz Romanian hemp processed by an older European ecological method that avoids harsh chemical treatment.
- Hemp is heavy enough that the curtain hangs straight instead of billowing inward against you the way a lightweight plastic liner does.
- The grommets are rustproof nickel-plated brass, and the curtains are cut and sewn at the company's own factory in Chicago.
Is this really plastic-free? Yes — and here's why
A vinyl shower curtain is polyvinyl chloride kept flexible with added plasticizers, and it spends its life in heat and steam — the conditions that drive off-gassing. Hemp is a plant bast fiber with nothing added to keep it soft, so there is no plasticizer in it to leave.
What this curtain is made of: hemp fiber and brass grommets. No PVC, no vinyl, no plastic liner behind it.

What to avoid instead
This replaces the PVC or vinyl shower curtain and liner. That new-shower-curtain smell is the plasticizers and volatile compounds leaving the vinyl, and a hot shower is exactly the condition that accelerates it.
How we verify — and what we don't
Straight answer: we're a research team, not a testing lab. Here's exactly what our rating is based on — and what it isn't — so you can weigh it honestly.
What we check
- What the product is made of, from the maker's own specs and product listing.
- Whether any part that touches you or your food uses PTFE, PFAS, plastic, or a coating that can degrade.
- Peer-reviewed research on how that material behaves when heated, scratched, washed, or worn.
- Known failure modes — how the product actually breaks down in a real home.
What we don't do
- We have not chemically tested this specific unit in a lab.
- We don't take payment to rate a product higher — there is no sponsored placement.
- We don't show star ratings or "trusted by thousands" counts we can't stand behind.
Anything that adds a known microplastic, PFAS, or off-gassing source — a non-stick coating, a plastic surface against food or skin, vinyl/PVC — is downgraded or cut. We only list what clears that bar.
