natural sponge

Ocean-harvested bath tool

A natural sponge is the fibrous skeleton of a marine animal, harvested and dried for use in bathing, cleaning, or applying cosmetics.

Unlike synthetic sponges, natural sponges have irregular pores and a softer texture: She prefers a natural sponge for washing her face.

They're prized for durability and gentle exfoliation.
