WHAT IS LOOFAH ?
Loofahs — sometimes spelled luffas — are popular shower accessories used for cleaning and exfoliating your skin.

Some people think that “all-natural” loofahs are made of sea sponge or dried coral because of their coarse, spongy consistency. But natural loofahs are actually made from a gourd in the cucumber family.

HOW LOOFAH SPONGES ARE MADE?
Luffa gourds are grown in tropical and subtropical climates.

After the plant blooms, the flower develops into a long, gourd like plant that resembles a giant cucumber or zucchini. The gourds are then harvested and can be left to dry out for up to six months.

Dried gourds are soaked in water, peeled, and their seeds are removed. Once they’re completely dry, they can be sliced, cut, or shaped in a variety of ways before they’re sold as sponges.

Loofah sponges from the luffa Plant have historically been used as scrubbers.
