Loofah soap places a dried plant-fibre slice inside a glycerin soap bar. The insert adds grip and a noticeable texture, while the glycerin base creates a light lather.

Our Natural Loofah Soap is intended for people who enjoy a textured body wash, especially on areas such as feet, elbows, and knees.

What is a loofah?

Loofah is the dried fibrous interior of a gourd. Once mature and dry, it forms a springy plant network that softens when wet and holds lather well.

How to use loofah soap

  1. Wet the bar until the loofah softens.
  2. Build lather with your hands first.
  3. Use light pressure on the body.
  4. Rinse the bar and place it on a draining soap dish.

The texture is not intended for the face or eye area. If you prefer a smooth everyday bar, compare our glycerin soaps.

How often should you use it?

There is no fixed schedule. Use it only as often as the texture feels comfortable, and choose a smooth bar on days when you want a gentler wash.

How to make the bar last

Because the loofah insert holds water, drying is especially important. Do not leave the bar in a puddle or under a running shower. A dish with open drainage and airflow works best.
