Traditionally used for more delicate areas, such as the face, our silk sponge is still perfectly suited for washing off make-up or just the remains of the day. They also make great reusable cotton balls for applying astringents and toners. Harvested by hand off the Gulf of Mexico. Silk sponges are considered a sustainable resource thanks to their ability to regenerate. They are biodegradable and our traditional method of collecting the sponges does not cause any damage to the environment. Natural sea sponges will last for years with proper care. HOW TO USE: When finished bathing, squeeze out the water and keep in a dry place in your bathroom. A sponge will air dry completely and is naturally resistant to bacterial growth.
