A Sea of Bodily Love: Sponges & Loofahs

by Leslie Billera on March 1, 2010 · 0 comments


We hope by now you’re treating yourself to at least one relaxing, aromatherapeutic bath a week that’s:

  • Good for the earth: the non-toxic ingredients in organic bath and beauty products don’t wind up in our water streams.
  • Great for your body: by making smart choices about the products you put on your skin, you’re investing your health.

Now it’s time to think about transporting all the nutrient-rich soaps, sea salts, scrubs and more available from Napa Valley Bath in the most eco-conscious way…

Sea and Be Seen

Opt for sea sponges versus synthetic sponges, which are typically made from petrochemicals.

For thousands of years, people have been cleansing themselves with multi-celled sea sponges. Sea sponges live in almost every aquatic environment, filtering nutrients from the water through their pores.

Real sea sponges:

  • Are a non-endangered species, so they are greener alternative to synthetic sponges
  • Regenerate, so there’s no worries about over-harvesting
  • Hold a greater amount of water
  • Biodegrade, so there’s no waste

So ditch that pink, plasticized pouf hanging in your shower – your green bath is truly sea sponge-worthy!

Love Your Loofah

Did you know that a loofah is a dried plant related to the squash family?  Loofah sponges can be used every day to:

  • Give a boost to your circulatory system
  • Cleanse and exfoliate your skin
  • Help prevent cellulite build-up

Make sure that any loofah you buy is organically-grown and unbleached.
