For applying or removing makeup, as a makeup blender, for cleansing or exfoliating, there really are no better tools for the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst off, they are a zero waste product. Sponges grow naturally, when disposed of they decompose and since we use decomposable packaging there’s really no waste.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSecondly being natural and chemical free means they are really kind to your skin. Hypo-allergenic, they are perfect for sensitive skin, especially for young babies. But the pore structure of the sponges is where the magic really comes from. This fantastic system of pores allows for soap, creams and gels to be pulled into the sponge along with water just by squeezing your hand whilst bathing. Another squeeze and you notice how the sponge is pumping our a rich lather from it’s tube-like structures. And a few more squeezes of the sponge under clear water and all of the soap is completely rinsed out with minimum effort. So simple, so effective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllowing water and air to flow through keeps the sponge self cleaning and inhibits growth and cultivation of ‘nasties’ which in turn keeps it smelling fresh. That is a noticeable benefit when compared to washable cotton makeup wipes, a great natural alternative to disposables. The cotton fibres are dense, taking much longer than a sponge to dry out so inherently staying damp for longer. The damp encourages unwanted growth and cultivations which lead to unpleasant odours. Additionally, cotton’s dense fiber structure makes washing out embedded grease or makeup so much harder and needing so much more energy than a simple rinse of a natural sponge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe best cleansing tool we clever humans can come up with is a synthetic sponge created from petroleum products or perhaps a cotton based wipe which has a huge water footprint. Meanwhile, nature has created the amazing, efficient pore system of natural sea sponges. Mother Nature really knows best.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll Sensible Options branded FacialCare sea sponges are ethically harvested.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat is ethical harvesting? It is a gentle process where sponges are removed from their source without touching the roots. Similar to pruning a tree, this allows stronger and bigger branches of sea sponge to regrow. The gentle harvesting process also causes millions of sponges cells to be released into the waters, where they are fertilized, attach to sea rocks, and grow into new sponges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlastic is the biggest agitator of marine biology, and possibly the biggest pollutant in the entire world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the sea gifted us with these beautiful sponges, we consider it our duty to show respect in return by minimizing plastic in our production.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntimateCare sponges are 100% plastic-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach sponge is wrapped in paper, then packed in an ethically sourced cardboard box or paper wrap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA bleached sponge will typically last for six months, an unbleached equivalent will last a bit longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen a sponge has reached the end of its useful life it can be thrown away with the regular organic household waste or even composted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen composted you will be returning to the Earth what came from the Earth, allowing your sponge to become worm food and soil nutrients.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor this type of sponge product you will usually find two types of sponge available: Mediterranean and not Mediterranean.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMediterranean are a smooth, absorbent, high grade sponge and the best option for IntimateCare sponges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCaribbean sponges are the typical alternative.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf a sponge product doesn’t identify where the sponge comes from, chances are it’s not Mediterranean.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn unbleached sponge maintains it’s gorgeous silky texture, plus is more substantial and durable. A bleached sponge has an airy softness, but they tend to deteriorate more quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo why do we see so many bleached sponges in shops if they’re not the best?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause most other companies choose to promote bleached sponges, meaning they’re the most frequently seen on the High Street, warping the consumer perception to think yellow is better or at least the norm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut why? Companies know that time is money, so they usually promote products that take the least amount of time and effort to supply. To get a sea sponge ready to package with no impurities, it’s simple to over bleach it and dissolve much of the organic debris which would otherwise have to be picked out by hand. Time is money!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the other hand, the conscientious manufacturer spends time inspecting and hand cleaning unbleached sponges before they are packaged as a premium product.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt Sensible Options, we’d rather give you access to the best and most natural product in the world, even if it means more effort on our part. And while we still supply bleached sponges to meet consumer demand, we won’t stop working to promote unbleached brown sponges until the “blonde is best” instinct is obsolete.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GlossManStudio","offers":[{"title":"Golden Yellow - Cardboard Box","offer_id":52356129718503,"sku":"B0C97BWTVQ","price":44.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Golden Yellow - Minimalist Packaging","offer_id":52356130046183,"sku":"B0C97GS82Z","price":41.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Natural Brown - Cardboard Box","offer_id":52356130078951,"sku":"B0C97CHDBL","price":44.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Natural Brown - Minimalist Packaging","offer_id":52356130111719,"sku":"B0C97DC88N","price":41.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0787\/2564\/4519\/files\/61Y-FRJ2h3L._AC_SX679.jpg?v=1784559364","url":"https:\/\/scentbloombeauty1.com\/products\/facialcare-exfoliating-sponge-for-a-deep-down-facial-scrub-natural-hypoallergenic-zero-waste-premium-mediterranean-sea-sponges-golden-yellow-cardboard-box","provider":"ScentBloomBeauty","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
