A loofah is a popular shower accessory used for cleaning and exfoliating the skin. It is made from the fibrous material found in gourd-like tropical fruits, specifically the fruit of the tropical Luffa aegyptiaca plant. Natural loofahs are actually made from a gourd in the cucumber family and are not to be confused with sea sponges or dried coral. They exfoliate and cleanse the skin but need to be taken care of properly to avoid bacterial contamination. Some people may be sensitive to loofahs, and synthetic bath poufs made of nylon are an alternative. It's important to note that loofahs and poufs should be discarded after 2-3 months to prevent bacterial growth. Natural loofahs are cruelty-free, package and plastic-free, and made from 100% compostable and biodegradable ingredients like plant fibers
. When choosing a loofah, it's essential to consider the materials and ensure they are safe and skin-friendly.
