Why does Chamarrel sell compressed loofah?
Because it has a positive impact on the environment. When the loofah is compressed its volume is 5 times smaller. In term of packaging and transportation, it means much less waste. And this is perfectly in line with Chamarrel’s core values.

Is the compressed loofah poor quality or less beautiful? Not at all!

The quality of the loofah and its fibers remain intact. It instantly regains its full volume as soon as it is immersed in water (see the above video).

Compressed or not, before its first use, the loofah was bought loose, therefore the sterilization step is a must. Thank you for your support to this zero waste approach!

Natural product, raw, cultivated and prepared in Egypt (where the plant grows).

Sold loose and compressed, no packaging no blister.

HOW TO USE

Use as a shower sponge

Loofah fibers (loofah, luffa) retain water and lather. They become soft when thoroughly wet. The loofah gently exfoliates your skin, removing impurities and dead skin cells while boosting microcirculation. Through these action, the help reduce the apperance of cellulite. You will feel the results when you use it regularly, particularly on your elbows, knees and heels.

Instructions: Thoroughly wet the loofah and lather it, then rub al over the body in circular motion.

Use as a cleaning sponge 

The natural fibers of the loofah are tough enough to clean all surfaces well, yet gentle enough so to scratch them. A loofah can therefore be used as a sponge for washing up,  to clean worksurfaces and even the car. Combine it with natural products such as Marseille soap for eco-friendly house cleaning.

Before use

We recommend soaking the loofah for about ten minutes in boiling water or putting it in the wash for a hot cycle, 60°C. The loofah will instantly and permanently regain its full volume. It will be ready for use.

Daily use

Always dampen the loofah before use, to soften the fibers

After use

Make sure to always rinse the loofah after use, then shake it and leave it to airdry. This will keep its fibers clean.

Keep your loofah clean

We recommend soaking the loofah in boiling water for about ten minutes, once a week.

Your can instead put it in the washing machine for a hot cycle, up to 60°C.

Tip: Use tea-tree essential oil as often as you feel the need, as it is known for its antibacterial properties. This essential oil so efficient, it keeps parasites, microbes and fungi away.

Time to get a new one?
Your loofah is durable. It can be stored for several months when not used. When you think it is time to get a new one, put the old one in the compost or directly in the soil. it will decompose quickly as it is 100% natural.
