Natural Fine Sea Sponges are a zero-waste sustainable and biodegradable alternative to synthetic beauty blenders.

Natural Sea Sponge Beauty Blenders are often the preferred choice of professional makeup artists, they are easily cleaned with soap and water, effortlessly releasing long wear pigments and colour. They return to their natural shape and texture after washing and they are super gentle on the skin when applying the makeup and well as providing that flawless beauty blender air-brushed finish.

Natural sea sponges are brimming with aquatic enzymes that inhibit the growth of mould, mildew and bacteria, making them hypo-allergenic and safe for use on the most sensitive skin, including inflamed skin conditions such as psoriasis, rosacea, and dermatitis. Natural sea sponges are self-cleaning due to the intricate systems of canal that wash out quickly and easily not retaining product causing odours and bacteria. 

Natural sea sponges are also effective used as facial cleansers. Their natural anti-bacterial properties and gentle exfoliating action enhances the efficacy of your natural face cleanser, leaving your skin effortlessly clean, smooth and soft.

Sea Sponges are grown in nature, as such they naturally vary in size, shape and appearance to the image shown. Due to hygiene reasons sea sponges are non-returnable for change of mind. 
Ritual

Soak the sea sponge with warm water until its super soft and fluffy. It should be soft and bouncy, not firm or brittle. This means your sponge is ready to use.

As a Beauty Blender: a wonderful alternative to the foam beauty blender, the natural sea-sponge blender is used in the same way. Dampen with your favourite mist or warm water to soften the sponge (squeeze out excess water if necessary), load the top edge of the sponge with foundation and gently dab on the face starting in the middle of the face working your way out.

As a Face Cleansing Sponge: Add a few drops of facial cleanser or run your sponge over your face bar. With circular motions gently buff over the face, neck and décolletage. Natural sea sponges are ideal for removing your beauty mask, especially clay masks that can be tricky to remove with face cloths.

How to Care for your Sea Sponge:

After Every Use: Rinse the sea sponge in clean water to remove any residual product. Makeup pigments wash out easily, a little soap can be used for more stubborn stains. Squeeze (do not wring) out excess water into a towel, removing as much water as possible. Leave in a well ventilated area to air dry, ready for next use.

Once a month: soak your sea sponge in a cup of warm water with 1 tablespoon of baking soda. This will help clean the sponge and maintain it's structure.

The edges of your sea sponge may fray with use. It's ok to trim these little frayed edges with scissors to freshen and help them last longer.

Daily maintenance and good hygiene will ensure your sea sponge stays clean and in good condition. If your sea sponge hasn't been well dried between use or you are concerned about bacteria growth, you can disinfect your sponge by soaking in a cup a warm water with several drops of tea tree essential oil and 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar

Things to Avoid: boiling water, dryers, microwaves or bleach. This will drastically change the structure of your sponge and shorten it useful life.

Sustainability

Natural Sea Sponges possess remarkable powers of regeneration. Their natural reproductive cycles ensure they can re-grow lost parts and pieces broken off by water currents. They can also settle in another location and re-grow into a clone of the parent sponge. The natural sea sponge is a renewable resource from the sea which has been harvested for over 150yrs.

Wild harvest divers use specific techniques to collect the sea sponges, carefully preserving the base (roots) of the sponge, ensuring the sponge has the ability to regenerate and re-grow back to its original form. If not harvested, sea sponges have a life span of approximately 10 years, harvesting allows for re-generation and extended life.

Sea Sponge populations are harvested carefully to ensure minimal disruption to the harvest area and to assist and promote regeneration of the sea sponges for future harvest and collection. It is in our best interests to ensure the long-term sustainability of sea sponges in their natural environment, and for this reason we promote and support only sustainable harvest and collection methods.
