Konjac naturally nourishes with vitamins A, B, C, D and E, proteins, lipids, fatty acids, copper, zinc, iron, and magnesium. This wonder veggie even has antioxidants and has historically been used to suppress tumors. Unlike other exfoliators that harm the environment, konjac is completely natural, non-toxic, and biodegradable (no harmful plastic microbeads needed!)
Better yet, the konjac sponge has enough innate cleansing properties on its own that some people have success using it with just water. Research shows that konjac even inhibits the bacteria that produce acne.
Which Color to Choose
You may notice that there are different colored sponges, but it’s not just for show.
- Dark grey konjac sponges are infused with charcoal for acne-prone skin.
- Red or pink konjac sponges have French clay incorporated that’s suitable for sensitive, mature, or drier skin.
- Green sponges usually have green clay for detoxifying and oil-absorbing benefits.
Be sure to check with the manufacturer to see if their colored konjac sponges contain any artificial colors or other undesirable ingredients. When in doubt, even just the simple white konjac sponges work well to improve skin health.
