Female founded, Konjac Sponge Company were the first to market over 10 years ago. Originally producing Konjac sponges for babies they have since developed their range, but always stayed true to their original idea and founding principles to avoid all chemicals and artificial additives. 

Konjac sponges a made with only Konjac fibre and nourishing mineral-rich extracts to deeply cleanse, gently exfoliate and refine, revitalise and refresh your skin for a radiant complexion. Gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin konjac sponges are made to be an all in one beauty product and reduce waste.

Konjac sponges are a triditional cleanser in Korea. Harvested using traditional methods from a renewable source the konjac sponge is free from any harmful chemicals, vegan society approved and of food grade standard.

Unique to the volcanic hills of Jeju Island in South Korea these sponges can not be produced or replicated to the same quality closer to home. But we feel the long transport route of these sponges is off set by their re-useablilty, their compostability and the fact that using a konjac sponge daily is saving many plastic bottles from the landfill. 

The konjac sponge is packaged in a cardboard box with a compostable silicose window.

We feel Konjac Sponge Co can be making more of an effort in terms of their packaging, they replied to our feedback to assure us they are always looking for ways to improve and hope to one day soon offer more products in more eco-friendly packaging.
