Loofah Back Scrubber

At the markets I get some odd requests for things, but for the three people last year who asked if I stocked back scrubbers....here you are! An eco alternative to a plastic back scrubber brush! (If you aren't one of those three people who asked for one, you're welcome to buy one too!!) 

The LoofCo Back Scrubber are hand-made in Egypt from natural loofah plants with a comfortable Egyptian cotton woven handle at each end. Use in bath or shower to gently wash & exfoliate back and body, leaving fresh, clean skin.

Loofah Plant is a vigorously growing vine from the cucumber family that is rich in durable fibres yet soft and flexible. When ripe, the inside of the loofah fruit develops a network of fibres that are perfect for cleaning and exfoliating purposes when dried. This natural tradition has been passed down through the generations!

• The loofah may appear abrasive and a little hard when dry but when wet they swell and soften into a lovely spongy pad.

• Perfect to be used to gently exfoliate skin with soap or shower gel. To keep fresh rinse, squeeze and hang to dry after use.

• An occasional handwash or machine wash will also help to prolong the life. With care these loofahs will last for months and are fully compostable at the end of the life.
