What is a Konjac sponge?

Have you ever seen a Konjac sponge and wondered how your skincare routine could benefit? 

Well by using it in conjunction with your cleanser, it gently exfoliates and stimulates circulation, giving you fresher, smoother looking skin. Suitable for all skin types, even sensitive skins - just wet your sponge until it is soft and massage it with your cleanser over the face in circular motions. 

Once you have used your sponge, rinse well and allow to air dry. 

Remember to replace your Konjac sponge every 4 - 6 weeks. (It is completely compostable.)

Konjac is a plant native to China, Japan and Indonesia, and the sponge is derived from the root -  also know as Konjac Corm.

Our sponges from hydrophil support sustainable consumption and ecological issues, they are water neutral, vegan and fair. So by using it you are making a conscious contribution to the responsible treatment of our environment whilst treating your skin at the same time.

A guide to making your own multi purpose cleaning spray.

On the path to sustainable living, a few small changes around the home can go a long way.

By making your own eco friendly cleaning spray, you will cut down on the use of harsh chemicals and be one step closer to having a plastic free household. We compliment our re-usable wipes by using these few simple ingredients:

  • White vinegar

  • Purified water (Easy to do, just use freshly boiled water and allow to cool)

  • A few drops of your chosen essential oils - we use Lavender, Thyme and Rosemary - they smell beautiful, but are also antibacterial.

Fill half of your container with white vinegar and then add the same amount of purified water.

Next, add your essential oils a drop at a time until you are happy with the scent. (Remember to add and mix gradually to obtain your perfect fragrance)


Give your bottle a gentle shake before each use and use with our re-usable cleaning wipes or dish scrubbie. Spray onto surface and wipe clean.


Use with our 250ml amber glass bottle.
