Konjac Facial Cleansing Sponge Heart Peach

Dry, it feels like a small firm pebble. Under water, this peach heart konjac sponge softens into a cushioned cleansing pillow, ready for a quiet face or body ritual with water alone or alongside your usual cleanser.

Made from vegetable fibres of konjac root, it brings a gentle, plant-based feel to everyday cleansing. The heart shape makes the moment feel a little more considered, like a small act of care at the sink or in the bath.

How the konjac fibre works with water

• Once fully soaked, the sponge holds water through its porous fibre structure, creating a soft buffer against the skin.
• The texture becomes tender and springy when wet, so cleansing feels cushioned rather than scratchy.
• Use it on its own for a simple water cleanse, or pair it with a small amount of your usual facial cleanser.
• The peach heart shape sits comfortably in the hand and turns a daily wash into something slower.
• Its soft character is inspired by a long East Asian skincare habit, where konjac sponges have been valued for delicate washing.

Vegetable fibre, simple and tactile

This sponge is made from vegetable fibres of konjac root. The material is naturally porous, which is why it changes so noticeably once saturated with water.

The colour is a gentle peach, with a rounded heart form that feels softer than a square cloth or sharp-edged sponge. It is part of the Natural Japan Style Konjac Sponges range.

How to soften, use and look after it

Soak the sponge in water until it becomes fully soft, then press out the excess water gently. Move it over the face or body in light circular motions, with or without cleanser.

After use, rinse it well and squeeze it carefully between your palms. Leave it somewhere airy to dry between uses, rather than storing it wet in a closed pot.

Konjac in skincare tradition

Konjac comes from a plant root used across parts of East Asia, including Japan, where konjac sponges became known for their soft texture. They were first used in Japan as bath sponges for newborn babies over a century ago, before becoming popular as facial and body cleansing sponges in China, Southeast Asia and Europe. In skincare, the appeal is simple: the fibre drinks in water, then releases it through a smooth, cushioned surface. It gives cleansing a slower, gentler rhythm without adding complexity to the bathroom shelf.

Common questions

Can I use it without cleanser?
Yes. A konjac sponge can be used with water alone, or with a small amount of your usual cleanser if you prefer.

Why does it feel firm when dry?
Konjac fibre firms up as it dries. Soak it fully before use so it becomes soft, springy and comfortable against the skin.

When should I replace it?
Replace it when the sponge starts to break down, lose its shape, or no longer feels clean after rinsing and drying.
