J-Beauty goes global
The Konjac Sponge cleanser is completely natural, perfect for body and facial cleansing and made using the vegetable fibers of the Konjac plant combined with activated charcoal. Konjac has been used in Japan as a nutritious, high-fiber food source for centuries, but in recent times the plant has also been utilized as a cleansing treatment. Now, the Konjac sponge has become available for luxury Japanese cosmetics and as an aging skin treatment. The popularity of the sponge continues to increase, especially as cosmetic companies like Synergie Skin are upgrading the traditional Konjac sponge with charcoal.
The texture of the sponge is incredibly soft when wet. This makes it safe and gentle: the sponge will not scratch while you are washing away the oil and dirt from your skin. The Konjac plant is grown in Japan and the fiber is used to make this sponge. Synergie’s Konjac Sponge contains 100% plant fiber, impregnated with activated charcoal derived from sustainable bamboo plantations, vegan-friendly ingredients that are suitable for all skin types. Together, these ingredients provide you with an aging skin treatment by naturally cleaning, exfoliating and smoothing your skin, without using any harmful chemicals. The sponge can be used with or without your cleanser of choice, but gives the deepest clean when paired with Ultracleanse.
The Japanese Konjac Sponge provides an aging skin treatment that is both eco-friendly and completely natural. The sponge efficiently removes dead cells, blackheads, oil, and dirt, exfoliates the skin gently, and is an important part of any skin care routine.
Benefits of the Konjac sponge cleanser
The Konjac sponge cleanser has numerous benefits both for your skin and the environment:
• Thoroughly cleanses the pores of the skin
• Gently exfoliates the skin
• Removes oil, dirt, blackheads and dead skin cells
• Contains no harmful or toxic chemicals
• Excellent for every type of skin including sensitive skin
• Provides aging skin treatment
• 100% natural, biodegradable and sustainable
• Animal and cruelty free (vegan friendly)
• Can be buried in the garden once discarded, to help retain moisture there.
The reason the Konjac sponge holds water so well is due to its unique composition. When you saturate the sponge with water, a water layer will cover the surface. This layer is always acting as a buffer for your skin and creates an important barrier between your skin and the sponge. This means your skin never directly touches the fiber, so your skin is never damaged or scratched.
Note: never use the sponge dry. Soak it in water before each use. Rinse it well after each use and hang it to dry out again.
Synergie’s Konjac Sponge should last around 2-3 months before you should replace it. If you are interested in the Konjac sponge from Synergie Skin, or any of our other great products, Skin Elegance has more information. Visit our website to learn more!
