Natural Loofah Bath Brush

The scrubbing head is a dried luffa gourd — a cultivated vine grown for exactly this purpose, not a synthetic sponge or foam substitute. It's firm enough to exfoliate without scratching, and the long wooden handle gives you reach across your full back with a steady wet grip. Dimensions: 13.5" x 2.5" x 2.5", 4 oz.

When the luffa head wears out, it can go into a home compost pile — it's a plant-fiber material and will break down in standard conditions. The wooden handle depends on your municipality's yard-waste or wood composting program. Country of manufacture and packaging materials have not been disclosed by the vendor; we've asked and will update this listing when we hear back. That's a real gap, and worth weighing before you buy.
