{"product_id":"konjac-body-sponge","title":"Konjac Body Sponge","description":"\u003cp\u003eA body sponge made from konjac root fibre — the white root of the Asian konjac plant, pressed into a soft, spongy pad that softens further the moment it hits water. No foam, no lather chemistry — just a plant fibre doing the cleansing and exfoliating work a plastic loofah does with none of the microplastic shedding. Wet it, work it over damp skin, and it lifts away dead skin cells and everyday buildup gently enough for daily use, even on skin that reacts to rougher scrubs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose the Konjac Body Sponge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Fibre, Nothing Synthetic:\u003c\/strong\u003e Konjac root fibre, coloured only by natural infusions like French clay, bamboo charcoal and green tea — no artificial dyes, so you know exactly what's touching your skin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReplaces a Plastic Loofah:\u003c\/strong\u003e A plant-fibre alternative to the plastic mesh puffs that shed microplastic in the shower and never break down.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompostable at End of Life:\u003c\/strong\u003e The konjac fibre and its 100% cotton hanging cord are both fully biodegradable and home-compostable, so the whole sponge can go into compost once it's worn out — nothing to send to landfill.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGentle Enough for Daily Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e The fibre softens in water into a texture mild enough for sensitive or easily irritated skin, while still lifting away dead skin cells.\u003c\/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull-Body Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e At 12 x 6 x 2 cm, this sponge is sized for arms, legs and torso — not the smaller face-only sponges that crowd the category.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere the Colours Come From\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis sponge comes in five colours, and every one of them starts out identical: pure white konjac fibre.

The white sponge is pure konjac; the coloured ones are the same fibre infused with earth-derived ingredients such as French clays, bamboo charcoal or green tea extract. It hangs from a 100% cotton cord.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy do the sponges come in different colours?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery sponge starts as the same pure white konjac fibre. The five colours come from infusing that fibre with natural ingredients — French clays, bamboo charcoal, green tea extract — rather than from any artificial dye, so a coloured sponge is exactly as compostable as the white one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow is a konjac sponge different from a plastic loofah or mesh puff?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA plastic loofah is woven synthetic mesh that sheds microplastic fibres every time it's used; this bath sponge is a single plant fibre with no plastic component at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIs a konjac sponge gentle enough for sensitive skin or daily use?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce softened in water, the fibre has a mild texture that many people with sensitive or easily irritated skin find gentler than a nylon puff or a physical scrub, and it's soft enough for daily use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDo I need to do anything to a konjac sponge before using it for the first time?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — it arrives firm and needs to soak in warm water for a few minutes until it softens and expands before its first use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIs this sponge sized for the body or is it a facial sponge?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 12 x 6 x 2 cm, it's sized for full-body exfoliation — arms, legs and torso — rather than the smaller sponges made for facial use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat happens to the sponge at the end of its life — can it be composted?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — both the konjac fibre and the cotton hanging cord are fully biodegradable and home-compostable, so the whole bath sponge can go into your compost once it's worn out rather than the trash.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ekö + co.","offers":[{"title":"pink","offer_id":48259288334566,"sku":null,"price":8.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"yellow","offer_id":48259288400102,"sku":null,"price":8.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"black","offer_id":48259288301798,"sku":null,"price":8.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"green","offer_id":48259288367334,"sku":null,"price":8.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"white","offer_id":48259288269030,"sku":null,"price":8.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0255\/4825\/9421\/files\/konjac-boddy-sponges-1.jpg?v=1788095642","url":"https:\/\/ekoandco.ca\/products\/konjac-body-sponge","provider":"ekö + co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
