For centuries loofahs have been prized as the ultimate luxury in bathing sponges. They are totally biodegradable, natural and renewable resource as they are made from the fruits of the Luffa aegyptiaca vine.
Sourced from the Luffa plant which leaves a durable network of fibers after treating and drying the fruit, the resulting mildly abrasive scrubber exfoliates your skin and enhances surface circulation. It is a natural renewable product that will slough off dead cells and smooth rough skin, leaving your skin smooth and revitalised.
They have been used for bathing products because when wet, the loofah fibre swells and becomes sponge-like, gently exfoliating while stimulating circulation.
Any friction on your skin increases localised blood flow. Capillaries, the tiny blood vessels closest to your skin, naturally expand when stimulated. A loofah stimulates increased circulation to areas that you scrub with it. Unlike harshly abrasive scrubbers and sponges, a loofah's firm but elastic fibers are round in cross section and are less likely to scratch skin.
