Did you know loofahs are actually a relative of the cucumber? (Fun fact of the day 🤓)
Keep these babies all over your home; our raw natural loofahs are perfect for scrubbing dishes, cleaning the bathroom, or even a bit of skin exfoliation. Grown on a family farm in Guatemala or India, our loofahs are unprocessed, pesticide- and herbicide-free, and fully compostable. Depending on their use, each loofah will last several weeks to a few months.
Each loofah could even be cut into smaller loofahs so they last even longer! Make them your own.
Material
100% loofah plant fiber
Packaging + End of Life
Each loofah comes compressed and flattened, and expands when wet. Loofahs are actually a vegetable! So toss these babies into your backyard compost, or even just bury them in your yard or in your garden when it's time to replace them. They will decompose within 30 days.
Origin
These loofahs are grown on family farms in India and Guatemala, and distributed through Los Angeles, California.
