Natural Sea Sponges

Ditch the plastic and bring a beautiful and naturally anti-microbial sea sponge into your bath! Your artisan bar of soap is only as good as the accessories with which you use it and by using a quality sea sponge, not only will you prolong the life of your soap, but you will also experience the mild exfoliation only a sea sponge can offer. 

Prized as an eco-friendly and renewable resource, these sea sponges have a history dating back to antient Greek times. Even Plato is quoted to have described bathing with these primitive sea creatures. Whether sourced from the deep blue of the Aegean, or off the coast of Florida, the techniques with which these sponges are harvested and processed are very much the same; connecting us to our past while providing a modern solution to our overuse of plastics. 

Wool Sea Sponge: Harvested off the coast of Tarpon Springs, Florida, these sponges are still harvested by immigrant Greek families and have been since the early 1900s. Soft yet mildly exfoliating, these are the bigger of our two sizes and are suitable for everyone from adults to babies. Once wet, they turn into a soft and supple sea sponge that holds a wonderful lather. 

How to care for your sponge: Wet sponge and lightly rub onto bar of soap. Gently work up a lather and use as desired. To clean, rinse and squeeze out water being careful not to ring or tear sponge. Being that they are naturally anti-microbial, these sponges can last for months or years to come, saving you and the planet from unnecessary plastic loofahs.
