This is a cucumber-like plant that naturally has a fibrous and sponge-like structure. This sponge comes from an Ecological Loofah farm in Spain. No chemicals are used during the entire production process. These Loofahs are hand-picked with respect for the ecosystem and further processed into these beautiful scouring pads. Origin The farm where this loofah grows does not use chemicals or other products that can harm the earth. All natural waste products generated on the farm are recycled through composting and thus reabsorbed into the growth process. It is an Agroforestry company. Trees are combined with Loofah cultivation. This is good for biodiversity and soil fertility. The company works with small farmers in the area. They share their knowledge and thus stimulate Ecological loofah cultivation. In this way, a new source of income is created in this often poor and rural area, and the land is cultivated in an ecological and sustainable way. The owner of this farm is a pioneer in growing Loofah. Each loofah has a different quality and fiber density. He cross-breeds different types of Loofah to achieve the best quality. For example, the fiber of a scouring pad is harder than the fiber of a shower sponge. The fiber of this scouring pad is of very high quality. Production process When the fruit is fully ripe, it is hand-picked and then soaked in warm spring water. This spring water occurs naturally in this area and has a temperature of 43 degrees. Due to the many minerals, including magnesium, this water has an antibacterial effect and makes the fruit clean and supple. Then the sun and wind do the rest of the work. The seeds are knocked out, and the fruit now has the beautiful fine structure that makes it ideal for use as a sponge. From this, these beautiful Eco-scouring pads are sewn.
