Natural Sponges
This is something new to me I am ashamed to admit as i usually use a flannel or synthetic sponge and saw nothing wrong with this.
Until I was contacted by Trevor Maurer from the The Sponge Market a supplier to the trade.
He gave me a brief on an article of interest the use of triciosan which is anti bacterial and used in synthetic sponges and other personal care products.
The FDA in the USA are concerned with Triciosan with links to cancer.
Natural sponges are naturally anti bacterial and do not contain Triciosan.
I found these sponges not only look good on the eye and compliment a bathroom it is nice to know they are a health benefit.
Natural sponges can be documented as early as 8th century BC.
Trevor Maurer is passionate about these sponges and has told me they are sustainly grown and harvested in the sea bed in Greece and Florida a luxurious bathing product kind to sensitive skin hyper allergic super absorbent and long lasting.
I am currently using the Honeycomb natural sponge size 5.5.
I love using this sponge you do get a lather more with shower gel than soap but when you use soap you feel your getting the soap really onto the skin and your skin feels silky soft so much so I skipped my body moisturiser so perfect for days when you don't have time to.
You also feel your not losing your soap to loads of lather a bit like shampoo with sodium laureth which is artificial lather I don't use shampoos with this,in fact for years and prefer it.
I can't wait to try the others and the baby sponge I am going to use on my 18 month old niece.
