A loofah is a natural sponge made from the dried fibrous interior of the luffa plant (Luffa aegyptiaca), which belongs to the cucumber family. It’s harvested when the mature fruit dries on the vine, creating a perfect exfoliating and cleansing tool. EGEXO specializes in premium Egyptian natural loofah sponges that offer superior quality and durability.
Loofah is definitely a plant, not a sea sponge – it grows on a climbing vine and belongs to the same botanical family as cucumbers, zucchini, and watermelons. The mature fruit develops into a natural sponge-like structure with excellent exfoliating properties. EGEXO sources authentic plant-based loofahs directly from Egyptian farms for guaranteed natural quality.
A luffa is ready for harvest when it loses weight (indicating water loss), the skin turns papery brown, and feels like it will peel off easily. The fruit should feel lightweight and may rattle when shaken due to loose seeds inside. EGEXO works with experienced Egyptian farmers who know the perfect timing for harvesting premium-quality loofahs.
A natural loofah should be replaced every 6-10 weeks or sooner if it starts to smell, discolor, or fall apart. Proper daily drying and weekly deep cleaning can extend its useful life significantly. EGEXO provides high-quality Egyptian loofahs that maintain their integrity longer than standard alternatives.
