SpongeBox Sea Sponges are natural, biodegradable sponges harvested from the pristine, warm waters of the Philippines. These sponges are the fibrous, porous bodies of simple marine animals that live on the sea floor. Known for their softness, absorbency, and durability, they are naturally resilient and less prone to algae buildup thanks to their tropical environment, which helps them last longer and stay gentle on your skin compared to sponges from other regions.

Natural sea sponges gently cleanse and exfoliate your skin without irritation. Their soft, porous texture helps remove dirt, oil, and dead skin cells while maintaining your skin’s natural moisture balance, leaving your skin feeling smooth, refreshed, and nourished. Additionally, they contain trace minerals from the sea that can support healthy skin function, helping with hydration, cell renewal, and overall skin rejuvenation.

SpongeBox sea sponges have a naturally soft and springy texture that feels gentle against your skin. When wet, they become even more supple and absorbent, providing a soothing, luxurious sensation that makes daily cleansing or pampering bath rituals feel special. Each sponge type has a different texture, so please be sure to visit our Sponge Types page, watch our videos, and read the details to help you choose the perfect sponge for your needs.

Your SpongeBox sea sponges arrive compressed and carefully packaged in eco-friendly materials to protect their natural texture and quality. When you open your sponge and add water, it will gently expand and grow, inviting you to begin your own unique skin care journey. Each sponge is cleaned, dried, and boxed fresh—perfect for treating yourself or gifting to someone special.

The lifespan of your SpongeBox sea sponge depends on the type. Silk sponges typically last 3 to 4 months, while honeycomb or deep-sea sponges can last up to 6 months with proper care. To help your sponge last longer, rinse it thoroughly after each use, gently squeeze out excess water (avoid wringing), and let it air dry in a well-ventilated area.
