INTERBEST | Handmade Natural Loofahs

Handmade natural loofahs are eco-friendly exfoliating scrubbers derived from the fibrous skeleton of the mature fruit of the Luffa plant (Luffa aegyptiaca or Luffa acutangula), a tropical vine in the gourd family related to cucumbers and pumpkins. Harvested by hand from organic farms in regions like India, Egypt, or Southeast Asia, these are sun-dried, peeled, deseeded, and sometimes cut or shaped without chemicals or machinery, preserving their porous, cellulose structure for gentle scrubbing. Unlike synthetic plastic poufs, natural loofahs are 100% biodegradable, compostable (in 6–12 months), and antibacterial due to their plant fibers, making them ideal for body, face, or kitchen use. In 2025, with sustainable bath trends booming at 12% CAGR in India, they're popular for zero-waste routines, reducing microplastic pollution while promoting skin health through natural exfoliation.
