FAQs
What is a konjac sponge made of?
Every sponge has a natural konjac vegetable-fibre base and a cotton hanging loop. White contains no added ingredients. The other six colours include the infusions listed in the colour guide above.
Which colour should I choose for sensitive skin?
White is the simplest option: pure konjac without added ingredients. Always soak the sponge until it is fully soft and use light pressure when cleansing.
What is the difference between Red and Pink?
Both are infused with French red clay and are suited to dry or mature skin. They share the same infusion, so you can choose whichever colour you prefer.
Which colours suit oily or combination skin?
Charcoal (Black) contains activated bamboo charcoal and is suited to oily or blackhead-prone skin. Green contains green tea and is suited to combination to oily skin.
What are Purple and Yellow infused with?
Purple contains purple sweet potato, an antioxidant-rich ingredient. Yellow contains turmeric root powder and is suited to a skincare routine focused on refreshing dull-looking skin.
How do I use and care for my sponge?
Soak it in water until it feels soft all the way through. Gently squeeze out excess water, then cleanse using light circular motions. Rinse thoroughly after use, gently squeeze without twisting, and hang by the cotton loop in a well-ventilated spot to dry.
How is it different from a loofah or cleansing puff?
A softened konjac sponge offers a gentler texture than a coarse natural loofah. Unlike synthetic foam sponges or plastic mesh puffs, it is made from plant fibre.
Do I need more than one colour?
One sponge is enough to start. Choose the ingredient option that best fits your routine, or choose White if you prefer no additives.

How to Use
Gently squeeze out excess water, then massage over damp skin in small circles.
Rinse the sponge thoroughly after use and squeeze out remaining water.
Hang to dry fully between uses using the attached cotton loop.
Pro-Tip: let the sponge dry completely before its next use — a sponge stored damp is where odour and bacteria start.
