What is ‘loofah’?
The loofah plant belongs to the same family as zucchini, courgette, squash, pumpkin, gourd, cucumber and melon. Ibérica de esponjas vegetales is the largest loofah grower in Europe and they have been prioneers in plant-based sponge cultivation, processing and development. Their products are grown and manufactured in the Galician-North Portuguese European region. Their research and development centre is located in the thermal spa town of Caldas de Reis in Spain. All the loofah sponges are treated with the local natural thermal spring water at 43°C, this makes them ideal for using to exfoliate both when wet and dry.
