What Is a Loofah Sponge?
A loofah sponge is a natural bath and shower exfoliator made from the dried fibres of the luffa plant. Unlike synthetic sponges made from plastic, a natural loofah sponge is completely biodegradable and environmentally friendly.
When the luffa plant matures, it forms a fibrous interior that can be dried and used as a sponge. Once soaked in water, the fibres soften and expand, creating the familiar texture used in loofah bath sponges.
Because they are plant based, loofahs are a great choice for anyone looking to reduce plastic in their daily routine.
