How to Care for your Sea Sponge:
Your sea sponge is a delicate natural material. Ensure you care for it well and limit handling when dry as this can lead to cracks in the fibres.

Soak well and use when thoroughly wet through only. This step is crucial as it helps prevent breakage and shedding of the sponge fibres. Failure to properly hydrate the sponge can make it brittle and susceptible to breakage, in particular within their unique internal network.

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, shedding of loose fibres/ fragments can be expected under normal use, this is not considered a fault. It's ok to trim any little frayed edges with scissors to freshen and help your sea sponge last longer.

Daily maintenance and good hygiene will ensure your sea sponge stays clean and in good condition. Mildew and mould growth are an indicator that you are not drying your sponge adequately. 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: Exposure to harsh chemicals or extreme temperatures can weaken the sponge fibres, causing them to break. things like boiling water, dryers, microwaves or bleach, these will drastically change the structure of your sponge.

Sea sponges are produced in nature. They are delicate and may contain inherent natural variations and flaws that are not considered faults.
