Sea Sponges

$12.00

A sustainably harvested sea sponge that is gentle on even the most sensitive skin. This all-natural, antibacterial sponge gently cleanses and exfoliates with or without soap. It can be used for dry brushing skin before your shower and/or with water/soap in the shower/bath.

Responsibly harvested natural silk sea sponge off the coast of the Philippines for gentle face exfoliation with mineral benefits. Use wet sponge on soapy skin to gently buff away dead skin cells and dirt. The minerals contained in sea sponges nourish and benefit skin. These include, but are not limited to: calcium, magnesium, sodium, iron, zinc, and potassium. Natural Sea Sponges are a renewable resource. When sponges are harvested, the divers hand cut each sponge to ensure that more than one inch of the base remains intact. The sponge re-grows back within 3-5 years. Studies show that areas harvested actually increase the population density of sponges. We have partnered with a family owned/operated company. 

Sponges vary in color and shape

Your sponge can last years if taken care of properly.

Caring for your sponge:

Every few weeks, soak your sponge in 1 cup warm water with 1 tablespoon baking soda for 15 minutes. Then rinse and let dry (preferably hang it in a mesh bag.) The baking soda cleans the sponge as well as revitalizes its cellular structure, increasing durability.

After each use, allow your sponges to completely dry. Don’t keep them in the shower, hang them somewhere were they can totally dry out.

To disinfect your sponge:

Soak it in 1/4 cup hydrogen peroxide and 1 cup water, this will clean and re-bleach the sponge.

Soak in 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (or white vinegar) in 1 cup of warm water.

Soak your sponge in 3 drops of tea tree oil in 1 cup of warm water, this will eliminate any odors.

*Never place your sponge in boiling water, a dryer, or the microwave. This will make your sponge hard.  Don’t use bleach, this will weaken your sponge.  Don’t twist or pull your sponge, this will tear it.  If your sponge starts getting ragged, trim off the loose pieces with a pair of scissors.
