A konjac sponge is a gentle cleansing sponge made from the root of the konjac plant, a vegetable traditionally used in East Asia. When dry, it’s firm and lightweight; once soaked, it becomes soft, bouncy, and cloud-like.

The magic is in the plant fibers. They form a delicate, naturally alkaline mesh that:

• Lifts away dirt, sunscreen, sweat, and makeup
  
• Provides ultra-fine exfoliation to remove dead skin cells
  
• Helps balance your skin’s pH, leaving it smooth instead of stripped
  

Unlike harsh scrubs or synthetic loofahs, konjac sponges are safe for daily use and kind to sensitive, reactive, and barrier-damaged skin.

For both skin health and hygiene, plan to replace your konjac sponge every 4–6 weeks with daily use.

Signs it’s time for a new one:

• It starts to thin, crack, or feel less bouncy
  
• You notice any discoloration that doesn’t rinse out
  
• There’s a musty smell (means bacteria have moved in)
  

Because our sponges are fully biodegradable, you can cut them up and compost them with your food scraps or garden waste instead of tossing them in the trash.

Both work — and that’s one of the reasons people fall in love with them.

• Without cleanser: Perfect for sensitive or minimalist routines. Just soak, squeeze excess water, and massage in circles. The plant fibers alone cleanse and exfoliate.
  
• With cleanser: Add a tiny amount of your favorite gentle face wash to the wet sponge. It will foam more efficiently, so you use less product while still getting a deep, satisfying clean.
  

Avoid pairing with harsh, gritty, or highly acidic cleansers. The sponge already does the polishing; keep the formula gentle.

Use this quick guide on your collection page so shoppers choose confidently (and add internal links to each variant):

• Unscented: All skin types, especially very sensitive, reactive, or compromised barriers.
  
• Charcoal: Oily, acne-prone, congested, or blackhead-prone skin. Helps clarify without over-drying.
  
• Aloe: Dehydrated, combination, or dull skin. Great for soothing and daily balance.
  
• Lavender: Stressed, sensitive, or evening routines. A calming cleanse step.
  
• Pink Clay: Dry, tired, or mature skin needing a gentle brightening boost.
  
• Red Clay: Dull or uneven tone; promotes a healthy-looking glow.
  
• Turmeric: Congested, lackluster, or spot-prone skin that needs both clarity and radiance.
  

All are gentle enough for daily use; the additive is there to support, not replace, your skincare.

Yes — konjac sponges are designed to be gentle where skin is fussy.

• Sensitive / eczema-prone: Choose Unscented, Aloe, or Lavender. The soft plant fibers cleanse without scratching or stripping. Always follow with your usual moisturizer.
  
• Acne-prone: Charcoal or Turmeric can help lift excess oil and impurities while staying non-abrasive. Use light pressure and rinse thoroughly.
  
• Rosacea / reactive: Stick to Unscented or Aloe. Use lukewarm water only and avoid aggressive scrubbing.
  

If your skin is actively inflamed or broken, check with your dermatologist, but for most people these are far kinder than washcloths or scrubs.

Good care = better skin + longer life.

1. Before first use: Soak in warm water for 3–5 minutes until fully soft.
   
2. After each use: Rinse out cleanser or residue thoroughly.
   
3. Squeeze, don’t wring: Press between palms to remove water. Twisting can tear the fibers.
   
4. Hang to dry: Use the attached string and keep it in a well-ventilated area, not sitting in a puddle or sealed container.
   
5. Weekly refresh (optional): Soak in very hot (not boiling) water for a few minutes to help keep it fresh.
   

If you ever see mold, odor, or damage, compost it and open a new one.

Absolutely. Konjac sponges are versatile:

• You can use our konjac sponges for face + neck + body

Our konjac sponges start with the same base: 100% natural konjac plant fiber. Then each variation is infused with a skin-loving ingredient:

• Charcoal: Activated charcoal powder to help absorb excess oil + impurities.
  
• Pink / Red Clay: Mineral-rich clays for a more luminous, even-looking complexion.
  
• Turmeric: Turmeric powder for a clarifying, brightening boost.
  
• Aloe / Lavender: Plant extracts or powders for soothing and antioxidant support.
  

No synthetic dyes, no plastic fillers, no random mystery ingredients — just simple, functional additions chosen to complement specific skin needs.

Konjac sponges are a great swap if you’re moving toward a low-waste, plastic-free bathroom:

• Made from a renewable plant instead of petroleum-based foam
  
• Biodegradable & compostable at end-of-life
  
• Lightweight to ship, reducing transport impact
  
• Long-lasting enough (4–6 weeks) to replace stacks of single-use wipes or cotton pads
  

Pair them with solid bars and refillable products and you’ve got a seriously sustainable skincare routine.

Most people notice a difference after the first few uses:

• Skin feels softer and smoother
  
• Makeup and sunscreen come off more completely
  
• Dry patches look less flaky; congestion looks more refined
  

With continued daily use (about 1–2 weeks):

• Skin tone appears more even and fresh
  
• Skincare products absorb more effectively onto gently exfoliated skin
  
• Many users find they can cleanse more gently with fewer harsh actives
  

Konjac sponges won’t replace your serums or treatments, but they create the ideal clean, calm canvas that helps the rest of your routine work better.
