Contrary to common belief, loofah is a vegetable, not a sea sponge!
Originating in Asia, this gourd-like plant is closely related to the cucumber family. It is grown in sub-tropical
temperatures and requires annual replanting.
The loofah used in our Loofah-Art®products is naturally, and in some cases organically grown and
cultivated by peasant farmers who often refer to it as "the poor man's sponge."
Once the plant naturally dries on the vine, it is harvested and the outer skin is peeled off to expose their inner
fibers, which form the natural loofah sponge.
The loofah is then hand seeded, washed and left in the sun to dry naturally after which it is hand fabricated into
our whimsical and functional products.
Because of their longer and finer textured fibers, Loofah-Art®products are the softest and most
resilient natural sponges outlasting most scubbers on the market!
