The most asked question we get it, "Wow, thats a plant???!" Most customers think that a Luffa growns in the ocean....nope. We grow our Luffas organically and lovingly. These gourds are not only great to scrub with in the shower, but they are also an amazing tool for dry brushing. I bet your skin will thank you ever so much. Encouraging to ALWAYS use natural fibers on skin and hair.
