What's Included
- 1x Egyptian Loofah Shower Sponge · 100% natural loofah fiber with cotton rope · Generous whole cone, about 5.5 x 4 in (14 x 10 cm)
- The Whole Loofah, Uncut: One whole cone of Luffa aegyptiaca, grown along the Nile, sun dried and finished by hand. No backing, no filler, pure loofah fiber through and through.
- Deep Natural Exfoliation: The open ridged fiber gives a deeper, more invigorating scrub than a plastic mesh pouf, lifting away dead skin cells and boosting circulation.
- Softens in Seconds: Firm when dry, the sponge relaxes into a supple, skin friendly texture after a short soak in warm water.
- Braided Cotton Rope: A knotted natural cotton rope hangs the sponge to air dry between showers, keeping the fiber fresh for longer.
- Plastic Free and Biodegradable: Loofah fiber and cotton yarn, nothing else. The whole sponge can be composted at the end of its life.
- Generous Hand Filling Size: A full, generous cut that holds a rich lather deep in its fiber network and covers more skin with every pass.
Grown Along the Nile
Loofah is not a sea sponge. It is the fruit of a climbing vine, Luffa aegyptiaca, named for the country that has grown it best for centuries. Ours ripens on Nile Delta farms, dries slowly under the Egyptian sun and is finished by hand without ever touching a synthetic material. It is the same honest fiber Egyptian hammams have trusted for generations, finished to the standard of everything else we make.
The Whole Loofah, Uncut
Most loofah products are thin slices sewn onto backing. This is the loofah itself: one whole cone from the vine, dried in the sun and finished with a braided cotton rope. When water hits it, the fiber blooms open into a rich, springy sponge that holds lather deep in its network and gives your skin the honest scrub it has been missing.
Wake Up Your Skin
Soak it, lather it, and work from the shoulders down in slow circles. The deep fiber network lifts away dull surface cells and wakes up circulation, leaving that clean, tingling, fresh from the hammam feeling. Rinse it well, hang it by the rope, and it is ready for tomorrow.
From the Vine, Back to the Earth
A plastic pouf sheds microplastics every time you scrub and lives on in landfill for centuries. This sponge grew on a vine. When its months of service are done, it goes back to the earth in the compost. Nothing synthetic, ever.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I use the shower sponge?
Soak the sponge in warm water for 20 to 30 seconds until the fiber softens, add your body wash or soap bar and massage skin in gentle circles. Rinse it clean and hang it by the rope to dry.
Is it too rough for sensitive skin?
Dry loofah feels firm, but it softens noticeably once soaked. Start with light pressure two or three times a week. Most people find the fiber pleasantly invigorating rather than harsh.
What is the difference between the shower sponge and the body scrubber?
The shower sponge is one whole loofah cone with a rope, all natural fiber, for a deeper scrub. The body scrubber is a flat dual sided pad with a soft cotton terry back for gentler daily cleansing. Many customers keep both in the shower.
How long does one sponge last?
With a proper rinse and hang dry after each use, a sponge keeps its texture for around two to three months of regular showers. When the fiber starts to flatten, rotate in a fresh one.
How do I keep it clean?
Rinse thoroughly after every use and hang it by the rope to dry fully between showers. Once a month, refresh it with a five minute soak in warm water with a splash of white vinegar, then rinse and dry.
Is it really a natural loofah and not plastic?
Yes. Each sponge is the dried fruit of the loofah plant, Luffa aegyptiaca, grown in Egypt for centuries, finished with a natural cotton rope. There is no plastic anywhere in it, so a retired sponge can go straight into the compost.
Which pack size should I choose?
The single is the perfect trial. The set of 3 keeps a fresh sponge in rotation for one bathroom, and the set of 6 is the best value per sponge for families or for stocking every shower in the house.
Where are the sponges made?
Our loofah is grown, sun dried and finished in Egypt, the same origin as our Egyptian cotton towels, and ships to you in plastic free packaging.
