Founder Bio

Michele Riley has a background in natural products, having started out in natural baby and child products, she launched the Konjac as baby sponges. She quickly discovered the benefits for all age categories and worked to have other ingredients with skincare benefits added. She has never looked back. Michele is still the founder and the director of The Konjac Sponge Company. Her ethics have never changed, and she is supported by a strong team of creative, caring and ethically minded staff.

More recently, in 2019, Michele changed the company registered name from The Konjac Sponge Company Ltd to Niche and Cult Ltd. This was purely so that the company could better embrace the other brands that are now distributed by the company. Same company number, same people and same ethics, the only change was the name.

What is Konjac?

The Konjac potato or Konnyaku is a perennial plant native to Asia and can be found growing wild at very high altitudes. A totally natural food source, Konjac is 97% water, rich in mineral goodness and low in calories. The plant is naturally alkaline, which leaves skin perfectly balanced.

Used for over 1,500 years. Konnyaku has been used in Korea, Japan and China for over 1,500 years as medicine, food, a dieting aid and a beauty product. Due to the plant’s claimed health-giving properties, the Konjac Sponge was originally created for delicate baby skin.

Ingredient Ethos

The Konjac Sponge Co. Trademark is official and fully registered. They are also registered with The Vegan Society and Cruelty International, so they proudly carry the leaping bunny symbol and the Vegan Society logo on all Konjac Sponge Co® products.

Simple, effective, deep cleansing and pure: all facial and body sponges are eco-friendly, 100% natural and made from Korean plant roots. The Konjac Sponge is as soft as jelly and full of skin-friendly goodness! It cleanses like nothing you have ever experienced, leaving the face fresh, glowing and silky smooth.

Often copied but never bettered, copy brands do not have the technology, patents or know-how to create the high-quality vegetable fibre sponge The Konjac Sponge Company offer. Many inferior products are mass-produced in poor quality, unethical factories where they use low grade and contaminated materials.

Pure and Pollutant Free 

The Konjac Sponge Company uses only pure Konjac, free from chemicals, colouring, additives and irritants. 100% biodegradable and fully sustainable, this moisture-rich plant fibre is lovingly hand-blended with natural volcanic water to create The Konjac Sponge Company unique and patented sponges.

Using the finest food grade Konjac, they only accept the purest products free from microbes or pollutants. With care and extra time taken, The Konjac Company sponges are produced by hand to develop a finer cell structure for even softer sponges with deeper exfoliation and cleansing properties. If a product doesn’t carry the Konjac Sponge Company trademark, then it is not a genuine Konjac Sponge Company product.
