Say hey (or γεια σας, if you’re feeling adventurous) to the Kokkinos family - the people behind our Silk Sea Sponge. They live in Kalymnos, a tiny Greek island that’s famous for its sea sponges. Working in the trade for 65 years, they sustainably hand-pick every sponge - so yep, they’re all 100% natural.

Did you know? Experts say you should replace plastic loofahs every four to six weeks. That’s a *lot* of plastic. As for our sea sponge? If you look after it properly, it can last for months - if not years. Plus, since they’re bleach-free, there are no nasty chemicals going back into the environment either.
Our Exploration Team opted for fine silk sponges rather than the traditional honeycomb texture you’re probably used to seeing. Why? The fibres are far gentler, so you can use it on your face *and* body. It’s even safe for sensitive skin, too.
Just squirt a little or your favorite cleanser (we reckon our Crabtree Cleanse + Awaken Shower Gel is the perfect partner) onto the sponge and run it under water for a seriously luxe lather. Oh, and you can pop it straight into the washing machine when it needs a clean. Easy.
