Sustainable, natural konjac sponges made with skin benefiting ingredients. A fair-trade, cruelty-free skincare tool for gentle daily cleansing and caring.
Dr. Sponge™ is a biodegradable skin cleansing sponge made from natural konjac fiber and healthy additives such as green tea and bamboo charcoal. This eco-friendly and biodegradable skincare tool delivers gentle yet effective daily cleansing and complete care for all skin types.
For thousands of years, Konjac, an exotic plant native to Eastern Asia, has been used in Asian cuisines and medicines for its healthy nutrients. This popular ingredient, now commonly used in food products and dietary supplements, is a powerful booster for beautiful skin because it is naturally rich in vitamins (A, E, D, B1, B2, B6, B12, C) and minerals. And now we infuse this ancient recipe with modern technology to create a revolutionary skin cleansing tool that serves as an all-in-one solution for various skincare concerns.
Originally created for babies and children, our sustainable sponges are one of the most powerful solutions when it comes to complete care of your skin. They are extremely gentle and soft. The unique “jello-like” fiber texture allows Dr. Sponge™ to smoothly glide across your skin and mildly exfoliate simultaneously, making it suitable for even the most sensitive skin. It works great at clearing pores, removing light makeup, dirt, oil, and even blackheads, leaving your skin refreshed and revitalized after each use. And continued usage leads to gradual improvement of the skin’s overall condition. Made with over 90% pure plant fiber, our earth-friendly sponges help to tone and maintain a healthy skin balance because konjac is naturally and mildly alkaline. It works to balance your skin’s acidity and pH balance. Each sponge also contains potent moisturizing ingredients with strong moisture retention abilities for long-lasting comfort and skincare benefits.
