The Benefits of Sea Sponges

The ultimate eco-bathroom loofah, natural sea sponges have an amazing ability to constantly renew themselves, making them a great plastic-free and renewable natural resource. They are ideal for replacing the smelly nylon body loofah and the skin-loving benefits are endless!

Our sea sponges are sustainably harvested from self-regenerating colonies by local communities in the Mediterranean and the Caribbean. These biodegradable, super soft sea sponges gently exfoliate the skin, encouraging the removal of dead skin cells while boosting circulation, leaving radiant smooth skin.

The intricate canals and natural enzymes in sea sponges inhibit the growth of mildew and bacteria making them toxin-free and hypoallergenic. Perfect for acne-prone and oily skin types as they rinse easily and stay fresh day after day.

How to clean your Natural Sea Sponge

Caring for your sea sponges is simple and ensures the longevity of your natural sponge. A well-cared-for natural sea sponge can last many years. To keep your sea sponges in great shape, rinse with fresh water after each use, then gently squeeze your sea sponge like you love it- firm but not rough, avoid wringing or twisting your sponge, and it will love you back. Allow to dry between uses in a well-ventilated area.

You cannot put your sea sponge in the washing machine, but once a fortnight soak your natural sea sponge in a mixture of one tablespoon of baking soda per one cup of warm water for 15 minutes. This revitalises the durability of the sponge along with providing a thorough cleansing. After soaking, rinse well and air dry. It’s also perfectly okay to trim any frayed edges that may appear over time to freshen up the appearance and structure.
