Natural Loofah
Another one is Luffa aegyptiaca commonly known as sponge gourd. Angled loofah has some vines from top to bottom and the sponge gourd is rounded. That is why the sponge gourd is used for exfoliation.
Natural loofah is collected when it is fully mature and ripe. A loofah fruit mesh gets stiff when ripe. Then the loofah mesh is extracted from the dry loofah, seeds are removed from inside, washed and dried properly, and finally cut into different pieces to use.
Natural Loofah
The perfect alternative to plastic dish sponges and plastic bath loofahs. Use our zero waste, sustainably sourced loofah scrubber to wash dishes, naturally exfoliate your skin, clean sinks, tubs, and so much more! Each loofah will expand when wet. Loofah's are soft enough where they will not scratch your pots, pans, or dishes, but have enough...
Using a loofah sponge to gently exfoliate also:
- Removes built-up oils and dirt particles clogging your pores, allowing them to contract and look smaller. Helps reduce breakouts; use part of home remedies for acne program.
- Removes dead skin cells, which can make your skin look patchy and your makeup cake up, accentuating wrinkles
- Open the skin up so it can absorb other skincare products faster and more completely
This loofah sponge comes from a vining plant in the gourd family. Wet your loofah sponge with warm water to soften it, add a little bit of soap or the natural cleaning product of your choice, and exfoliate or scrub away, using small, circular motions. Or use it in the kitchen to scrub dishes, glasses and even baby bottles. It is completely natural and plastic-free and works wonderfully dishwashing liquid.
If youâ??d like to use it for exfoliating, we recommend cutting it in half as they soften over time. This large natural loofah can be cut up into four to five pieces, making it great for using one loofah in the bathroom and kitchen! If you like to try out a smaller one first, we also have those available for purchase here and if youâ??d like to grow your own sponge, take a look at this cute loofah seeds pack.

Clean it and toss it into your DIY compost pile when it' sworn out.
