The natural sea sponge has gained much popularity amongst artist. It is well known for its durability and softness, having natural enzymes in it that helps prohibit bacteria, mold and mildew. Natural sea sponges are highly sought out for bathing, cosmetics and general use around the home. They are free from harmful chemicals such as Triclosan, last a very long time, and are extremely soft. These are just some of the great benefits these sponges offer that cause many to switch from commercial to natural sponges, but can they cure cancer?
According to Australian scientist, recent research has revealed that natural sea sponges share nearly 70 percent of human genes, and suggest that these new findings lead to breakthroughs in cancer and stem cell research. An article published in Feb. 2010 from sciencedaily.com stated the recent findings led by Kristiina Vuori, M.D., Ph.D. Vuori discovered a natural compound found in sea sponges called sceptrin, which is believed to reduce cancer cell motility, a major step in advancing cancer treatments.

Natural Sea Sponges; wonderful, practical, affordable gift idea!

Natural Sea sponges are wonderful to have for bathing and household cleaning, and they make great gifts as well. The holiday season is such around the corner and I think it’s safe to say that most of us want to stretch the dollar, choosing more practical, more affordable and more meaningful gifts to bless our loved ones with this season.
I had noticed a trend this year towards the end of the farmer’s market season, and that is most folks shared with me that they were doing their Christmas shopping early this year. We sold a lot of gifts baskets and specialty bars like our felted bars, loofa and sea sponge soap bars. These all make great gifts and if you are shopping for someone you just never know what to get; everyone could use soap or enjoy a tasty, chemical free, lip balm. One thing I think is often overlooked is the natural sea sponge. If you have a natural sea sponge soap bar, or will be receiving one in the near future, don’t throw your sponge out after the soap has depleted.
The sea wool sponge can last up to 10 years, and the yellow sponge as long as 4 years with the proper treatment. Natural sea sponges have natural enzymes in them that prohibit the growth of mold, mildew, and bacteria. Though the sea sponge soap bar are great, purchasing a sponge by itself is also great, and very affordable, especially when you get the life expectancy that you do with these sponges. Also keep in mind, no harmful chemical such as Triclosan like that which you would find in commercial synthetic sponges.
I think you will be amazed with the response you’ll receive from those you gift this year with a natural sea sponge soap bars, or even just a plain old sea sponge. Of course you will have to explain the gift and educate them why they are better that synthetic sponges, but once they try their new sponge you will enjoy listening to them share their testimony of how much they love their new natural sea sponges.
Natural sea sponges, an affordable product switch for healthier lifestyle.

If you are already using natural goat’s milk soap and other natural skin care products you probably are already much aware that your skin is permeable, and only want what is most natural and safe to put on your body. You have already taken the steps to be contentious in choosing natural skin care products; my question to you, is have you stopped there? There are many simple and affordable product switches we can incorporate in to our daily activities that will help contribute to healthier living. The natural sea sponge is just one of these switches to consider.
Did you know that just about all synthetic sponges have the chemical Triclosan in them, which is classified by the EPA as a pesticide? Synthetic sponges do not last as long as natural sea sponges, and within a week they begin to fall apart and become infested with mold, mildew and bacteria. Natural sea sponges are more durable, retain more water and have natural enzymes in them that prohibit mold, mildew and bacteria.
The Pure-N-Simple Soap family has not only switched over to natural sea sponges to do everyday household cleaning , but we are molding these sponges into our natural goat’s milk soap bars as well. The sea wool sponge is one of the softness and most recommended sponges for bathing. We have molded a lot of our unscented and Calendula Orange bars with this sponge, creating a very safe and gentle soap sponge. The sea wool sponge being most recommended for bathing for its softness, and the gentle ingredients in an unscented goat milk soap bar make this a perfect choice for bathing your most precious cargo, that being your children. No harmful chemicals, ingredients you can pronounce, and a sponge that comes from nature.
If you want a more abrasive sponge for exfoliating dead skin, the Loofa sponge is the perfect natural choice. This sponge does not come from the sea, and is actually a gourd that you can grow in your garden.
