Natural Sea Sponge Large
Raw natural sponges from the Greek Mediterranean.
We Love
Sea sponges have been around for 1000 of years. They are wonderful to soap up with in the shower to remove dead skin cells and are 100% biodegradable . These sponges are sustainably harvested in the sea above the root so that every sponge can grow back.
Your Bathing Ritual moment – The Natural Sea Sponge
Transform your daily shower into a moment of pure indulgence. Paired with your favourite shower gels or soaps, this luxurious sea sponge creates a rich, creamy lather while offering the gentlest touch of exfoliation. Each sponge is entirely unique, a gift from the sea beds becoming irresistibly soft when wet, and gliding effortlessly over the skin. Foaming up your favourite body wash or soap.
Why you'll love it:
- Naturally exfoliates and deeply cleanses
- Softens with water for a spa-like experience
- Long-lasting: with proper care, each sponge can last 6 to 12 months or more
- No marine life is damaged in this process and the sponges regrow after being trimmed.
Care Ritual:
To keep your sponge fresh and long-lasting:
– Rinse thoroughly after each use
– Allow to dry completely between uses, ideally in a well-ventilated space or a sunny windowsill
– Occasionally cleanse with a natural antimicrobial rinse (like tea tree oil in water)
– Avoid extreme heat or harsh rubbing; always let it air dry naturally
Sizes:
– Large: approx. 16 cm
– Very Large: approx. 20 cm
Say no to microplastics and synthetic waste, this is nature’s alternative to plastic loofahs, fully biodegradable and ocean-friendly.
Sustainable. Beautiful. Kind to skin and the planet.
In 1897, Gustav Croll and Theodor Denecke decided to import raw natural sponges from the Greek Mediterranean to Bremen and refine them here by hand. We still do this today – but in the meantime we have expanded our product range to include sustainable spa and household products. We are Peter, Nina and Sara Hankiewicz, the third and fourth generation in our enterprise. Our mission: Sustainable skin and body care products with a good conscience and in harmony with nature.
Say NO! To micro plastics ending up in our oceans and water ways.
