Meet The Konjac Root
Konjac is a starchy root vegetable native to East Asia, traditionally grown in the mountainous regions of Japan, Korea, and China. For centuries, it’s been used in Japanese wellness rituals and cuisine, prized for its gentle, skin-loving fibre known as glucomannan.
To create our konjac sponges, the root is first harvested, dried, and finely ground into a soft flour. This flour is mixed with water and carefully heated to form a jelly-like paste. It’s then poured into moulds, baked or freeze-dried, to create a firm, bouncy sponge when rehydrated — ready to cleanse, exfoliate, and compost with ease.
If you choose, you can sanitise and refresh your sponge weekly.
- Place it in hot water and boil for a few minutes.
- Remove from the water and allow it cool before gently squeezing out excess water.
- Hang to dry in a sunny, well-ventilated spot.
FAQ
What is a Konjac Body Sponge?
A soft, plant-based body sponge made from natural Konjac root fibres. It gently exfoliates, boosts lather, and offers a biodegradable alternative to plastic loofahs.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. Konjac fibres soften when hydrated, creating a cushioned cleanse ideal for sensitive, dry, mature, or easily-irritated skin.
How does it exfoliate?
Very gently. The micro-fibres lift dead skin and encourage healthy renewal without friction or harsh scrubbi
Can I use it every day?
Absolutely. It’s designed for daily cleansing and gentle exfoliation.
Does it contain fragrance or additives?
No — just pure Konjac fibre with powdered botanicals for color eg. Green Tea Powder, Activated Charcoal Powder, Pink Clay Powder. No dyes, fragrance, or synthetic fillers.
How long does it last?
Typically 4–6 weeks with daily use. Replace when the sponge begins to break down or lose structure.
Is it compostable?
Yes — the sponge can go straight into your home compost at the end of its life.
Why does the sponge feel firm when dry?
Konjac hardens naturally when dry. Soak in warm water until fully soft before use.
Why did I see bubbles the first time?
Tiny air pockets in the plant fibres release when first hydrated. This may look like light foam — it disappears after a rinse or two. It’s completely natural.
