This set of two loofah soap cushions areismade of 100% loofah. This plant is related to cucumber and zucchini. The loofah used in this soap cushion is the product of organic farming in Spain. No spraying is used and irrigation is done using natural rain and recycled thermal water. During manufacturing, no chemicals are used, only 43-degree thermal water to soften the fibers.
The soap cushion is designed to be used as a soap dish, with two functions. First, it keeps the soap dry. Second, it can be used to wash the sink and so use up the water and wet soap that collect on the underside of the soap cushion.
