Eco-Friendly & Natural. The Sea Sponge is a renewable natural resource. While harvesting, divers are careful to ensure that the base of the sponge remains intact. This puts into motion its natural reproduction. The sponge then will re-grow within a few years, often bigger and healthier than its original state. Studies show that areas harvested actually increase the population density of sponges. Additionally, the sponges have amazing regenerative powers as the natural process of the tide and currents will pick up sponges and they will re-grow in new locations.

Local. The Sea Silk Sponges are harvested from Florida's Gulf Coast by local spongers. Over 90% of the world’s natural sea sponges come from this area. This large industry keeps local workers employed as opposed to a high producing factory overseas. The sponges are not only natural and renewable, but American as well!

Quality & Safety. Used since ancient times, the superiority of the Natural Sea Sponge is unmatched. Sea sponges are highly absorbent, create a luxurious lather, are softly textured, and are suitable for the most sensitive of skin. Natural sponges are more durable and last longer than synthetic sponges because they are more resistant to abrasion. They have been known to last as long as 8 years! Synthetic sponges will only last a very short time before they start falling apart and getting covered with mildew and bacteria. Natural sea sponges actually have enzymes in them that inhibit the growth of mold, mildew, and bacteria. Yet, they are toxin-free and hypo-allergenic. In addition, natural sea sponges are better for bathing and cleaning because they soak up and hold more water without dripping. Sea sponges are self-cleaning through their intricate system of canals. Therefore they wash out more quickly and easily, and will not retain objectionable odors. They are softer, clean better and will not peel like synthetic sponges while being used. Sea sponges offer a safe alternative for washing your child, while surpassing the quality of man-made substitutes.

Best for Babies. The Natural Sea Silk Sponge protects baby’s delicate skin and is suitable for all ages. The sponges have been carefully chosen to be the perfect hand-held size for washing, are as soft as silk when wet, and have a smooth surface. That’s why the experts agree that fine-pored silk sponges are the best choice in natural sponges for infants and young children. These super absorbent sponges make baby bathing easy by eliminating the need for a cup and both hands when rinsing and hair washing. The silk sponge creates a beautiful lather quickly with every type of soap, both liquid and bar. It is sure to become a family favorite because toddlers and children love to wash themselves with the softest sponge on the planet! Adults will find that the silk sponge makes a wonderful facial and cosmetic sponge as well.

Sponge Care:
• Wash the sponge with soap and water before first use to remove any sea debris.
• To extend the life of the sponge: Soak the sponge for an hour every few weeks in a solution of 1 part warm water to 2 part baking soda. Then rinse and let dry. In addition to thoroughly cleaning the sponge, baking soda revitalizes its cellular structure.
• Please let sponges dry completely after each use.
