Product description

Loofah is a plant of tropical origin that is cultivated in Spain in an artisanal way thanks to an agroforestry project to revitalize the natural cultivation of vegetable sponges.

This plant is cut and shaped to make natural sponges and scrubbers. Thanks to the roughness of the loofah, the sponges have exfoliating properties for the skin.

When in contact with water, these sponges release cucurbitacin, a compound that provides hydration, which is why when wet they increase in size three or four times.
