Silky Foam Sponge

This excellent sponge is made in Gunma Prefecture using locally made high-quality silk from one of the last remaining silk mills in Japan. The sponge is made without using any chemicals therefore it retains the silk’s natural sericin content. Sericin is a protein rich in amino acids such as serin, which is known for its antimicrobial, moisturizing and antioxidant effects. These properties allow the sponge to remove excess oils and retain moisture to effectively cleanse the skin without becoming a breeding ground for bacteria.

Rinse of any dirt or soap after use, squeeze then leave to dry.
Hand washing recommended.
Do not tumble dry.

It is centred around the nation's vibrant capital – Tokyo, formerly known as Edo, which has been the cultural, economic and political heart of Japan for centuries. Outside this megacity, there are mountains, onsen and ski resorts, magnificent temple complexes and excellent surfing opportunities within easy reach.
