MY Konjac Sponge Bamboo Charcoal Facial Sponge #konjacsponge

This is a very nice Konjac sponge facial cleaner. It's the right size for my small hands and has a looped string so that it may be hung up to air dry.  This sponge comes in dry form, but when wet it becomes pliable and soft. It's a very gentle exfoliator made of natural materials.

BMY Konjac Sponge are made exclusively with the konjac fiber, a pure vegetable fiber taken from the root of the Amorphophallus Konjac plant.
Konjac plant, also known as konnyaku potato or elephant yam, is a plant that is native to eastern Asia.

Konjac root is rich in minerals, vitamins, and it has been traditionally used as a beauty treatment for a long time in eastern Asia.

MY Konjac Sponge is made to the very highest of standards, using the purest volcanic rock filtered water and food grade konjac. All of our products are hypoallergenic & fragrance free. 

All of our products are never tested on animals, and they carry the Vegan Society logo as well as Leaping Bunny logo, the highest standard of cruelty-free status in the cosmetics industry. 


* 100% Natural Sponge + 100% Coloring & Additive Free + 100% Biodegradable
* Naturally Sustainable, Leaping Bunny (cruelty free) certified
* Gently Exfoliates Skin & Cleanses Skin Pores
* Speeds up Metabolism & Promotes Cell Growth
* Eliminates Blackhead, Dirt & Oil. Also Prevents Acne & Pimples

Steps: 

* Rinse & allow sponge to fully absorb water 
* Gentle massage face in circular motion 
* Rinse sponge after use & hang it to dry

The only issue I have is the sponge's rather short shelf-life: One to two months and then it will need replacing. It may be prone to growing mildew if not rinsed cleaned and dried thoroughly after every use.

It is great on older skin as well as younger skin.  It's cleans deeply, yet gently, without scratching or irritation. 

I love the fact that these products are never tested on animals. Big Plus!

EDEN HOME: Review & $35 GC Giveaway -- ends 2/24/10

Last week, I received a gorgeous black Blue Canoe Bamboo Wrap top from Eden Home.

The top is so stylish. It just hugs the body and moves with you like a second skin. It breathes with you. It don't need constant tugging or adjusting to fit right. That's so important to me because I'm constantly on the move.

I'm busy! One the go! I don't need to worry about the clothing I'm wearing having chemicals that could cause me harm. I like being natural and comfortable. And I like knowing that my clothing is organic.

From the Website: This is our favorite of the natural tops from Blue Canoe. Made from natural bamboo and organic cotton, this natural top is very comfortable and yet stylish enough to wear to work or with a cute skirt for an evening out. This super cute, wrap front style natural top has 3/4 sleeves and side gathers on the left. And the best feature is that wearing bamboo or other all natural shirts ensures extra, unwanted chemicals from processing are not left on your skin.

Both the cotton and bamboo in all our garments have always been and still are organically grown without the use of herbicides, pesticides, artificial fertilizers or any petroleum based products.
As a base fiber, bamboo is natural in that it is not petroleum based. Like cotton and other natural fibers it breathes, thereby keeping you cooler. It also has a very soft and fluid feel and will not stick to your skin even on the hottest days.
