PREMIUM WOOL BATH SEA SPONGES, NATURAL + SUSTAINABLE - NEW!

These premium quality wool sea bath sponges are natural, sustainable, and so luxurious for bathing! Perfect for lightly exfoliating skin, cleansing dirt, sweat, impurities, pollutants, and dead skin cells for fresh, glowing skin. Plus, they contain natural minerals which are beneficial for the skin. The wool sponges in our shop are sustainably harvested in deep waters off the coast of Florida.

Wool sponges are highly prized and widely considered to be the ultimate sponges for bathing. They are softer than other sponges (like "freshly spun wool"), denser, and usually more durable. They are gentle enough to be used in the bath or shower daily by all skin types, and they are delicate enough for children and babies. The perfect choice for anyone looking for a luxurious, spa-like experience!

These are premium, high quality sea sponges. They are whole sponges, sustainably cut from their base, but with their beautiful and natural form intact. They may have been shaped and cut slightly by divers, but are still in their original, natural form. Since these sponges grow naturally in the sea, each sponge is unique in shape, size, and appearance. As you'll see in the photos, the sponges can vary quite a bit in appearance - no two are exactly the same!

The wool sponges that we offer measure 5-6 inches across measured at their widest point. Heights vary quite a bit from sponge to sponge, from approximately 3-5 inches. Please note that sponges are traditionally measured when wet, and expand in size once submerged in water.

Responsibly harvested and a naturally renewable resource, these sponges are hand-cut by divers to ensure that enough of the base remains intact so that the sponge can regrow. Studies show that areas harvested actually increase the population density of sponges. Sponges are biodegradable, and can be added to the compost once they've reached the end of their life-cycle.

Natural sea sponges are a renewable resource, and they are so much better for our environment than plastic poufs and bath accessories made from synthetic fibers. Not only do the plastic-derived products cause environmental pollution and consume a lot of natural resources to produce, but they have to be thrown away at the end of their lifecycle. Once in a landfill, they continue to break down and contribute to micro-plastic contamination in our soil, water sources, and oceans.

Wool sponges are the most expensive and luxurious type of sponge available. We also offer several less expensive options, which can be found here: https://fawnlilybotanica.com/collections/tools-accessories

Sponge care: Rinse completely after each use and air dry. Sponges have complex and delicate fibers, and must be handled with care. Never twist or pull the sponge, and do not rub too vigorously on the skin. Gently squeeze the sponge to remove any excess water or soap, never wring or twist water and soap out. Twisting, pulling, or vigorously using the sponge will cause damage and tear the fibers, which will make the sponge fall apart. After each use, allow sponge to dry completely. These sponges are durable and will last for many months with proper care. Once they have reached the end of their life cycle, they can be easily composted instead of ending up in the landfill like  synthetic alternatives.
