Type

The unique, net-like structure of the Konjac sponge gently massages the skin to stimulate blood flow & cell turnover, while lifting make-up and grime for a radiant, peachy soft complexion. Originally created for babies, these facial sponges are super soft and ideal for delicate or sensitive skin.

They will gently cleanse the face, removing dirt, excess oils, flaky skin and blackheads, without the need to use an additional cleanser.

So, what is a Konjac sponge?

The Japanese have long been at the cutting-edge of skincare & the Konjac plant has been a vital part of their diet, skincare and medicine for centuries.

Despite its name, it’s not at all like the sponge you keep on your kitchen sink. It’s a sponge that’s made from the root of a Konjac plant (a porous vegetable that grows in Asia), which is why it feels almost rubbery once it gets wet. It’s 100-percent natural and plant-based.

What does It do?

Konjac sponges don’t have any magical ingredients that turn your skin into a shiny little pearl, but that’s not really the point of them—they’re meant to be used as an incredibly gentle exfoliator that’s safe on virtually all skin types (though anyone with rosacea or perioral dermatitis should still consult their dermatologist, first).

Made with love by

Acala was founded in 2018 by Hanna, a passionate environmentalist who couldn’t bear to see even one more disposable cup drop in the office bin at her marketing job so she created a range of zero waste self-care products and DIY skincare kits. Today Acala is part of the Essential Care family who also make Odylique and It's Pure organic products. Acala means 'immovable one' in Sanskrit and the two triangles of the Acala logo symbolise balance and equilibrium, chosen because Acala is passionate about promoting the balance between people and planet.

How to use

Soak the sponge for 5–10 minutes until it expands and fully softens, then squeeze out the excess water right before you use it. Drizzle face wash over the sponge and gently massage your face in circular motions until your skin is clean and your makeup is removed. If you don’t like the idea of really buffing your cleanser into your skin, you can always rub it over your damp skin after cleansing it to pick up excess skin cells. Then rinse out the sponge and hang it up to air dry.
