The Calypso Honeycomb Sea Sponge partners beautifully with our solid cleanser to create a rich lather. It gently exfoliates and improves your circulation while lifting away excess oil and dirt for clean, smooth skin. Unlike their synthetic (plastic) counterparts, washcloths or loofahs, these 100% natural sea sponges contain natural enzymes that deter the growth of bacteria, mold and mildew so they last for years with normal care.
Considered the king of sponges, the Honeycomb sponge variety is especially luxurious due to its inherent density, strength and superior longevity - the result of being sourced from the cooler temperatures and greater depths of the Mediterranean Sea surrounding Kalymnos Island, Greece.
HERITAGE
Since ancient times, the life and culture of Kalymnos Island has been linked to sea sponge diving. Using traditional, inherently sustainable, diving methods, experienced divers reach depths of up to 60 metres to find the highest quality sponges. Then, specialised personnel - usually retired sea sponge divers - sort and process the sponges by hand with care and attention. The entire local industry is rooted in a history that makes up the very soul of the island.
HARVESTING
During harvesting, divers preserve the vital root system by ensuring one inch of the sponges’ base remains intact. This method respects the marine ecosystems and the natural regenerative process resulting in new, healthier, stronger sponges. Our suppliers and their boats are certified by the Kalymnos council as to not cause environmental damage or pollution.
CARE
After each use, rinse the sea sponge thoroughly in cool water leaving no product residue and squeeze out all excess water. Do not twist or ring out your sponge. Leave to dry naturally on a dry surface, away from heat.
Once a month, soak the sea sponge in a bowl of warm water with 1 tablespoon of baking soda. This will help to clean the sponge and maintain its structure. With regular care, natural sea sponges can last for years.
