Loofahs are natural products. Many people think they come from the sea -- like a sea sponge. But they do not. They are dried gourds. They are grown here in the U.S. as well as in places like South America. Some of them are HUGE -- about the size of a baseball bat! Once they are dried they make great, fibrous sponges. The fibers are scratchy until you wet them. When wet they make a coarse sponge.

Loofas combined with glycerin soap are a great combination. As we get older having a sponge made of loofah is a real benefit. It soaks up the water and offers a good scrubbing.

I find they are quite long lasting too. If you know someone who has never tried loofah before it would make a great gift. But please, loofah can be scratchy when not fully wet -- so do not use it on your face or other sensitive areas!

For a limited time we are including our oatmeal olive oil soap as a discounted addition. The oatmeal soap is just wonderful. The fragrance is oatmeal honey almond. It's a sensational fragrance. We thought that the combination of the exfoliating loofah and the mild exfoliant of oatmeal would make a great combination. I use the oatmeal soap on my face almost every day. My customers tell me they do too!
