Mediterranean Sea Wool

Description

Sustainably Harvested Mediterranean Sea Wool

Product Origination: Mediterranean Sea, Jordan

Sea Wool sponges have been around for centuries, used luxuriously by the Greeks and Romans, who knew early on, these sponges are the ultimate bathing tool.  Mediterranean Sea Wool sponges are considered to be one of the softest, most pliable, absorbent, natural bathing sponges.  One sponge could last your entire bathing lifetime, if you treat it with care. 

Sea Wool, are organisms that dwell on the bottom of the ocean floor.  While sustainably harvesting the sea wool, licensed scuba divers, dive to the bottom of the sea, to harvest each sponge by hand.  The divers only harvest sea wool over 5” in length, and by hand cutting, roots of the sponge remain on the sea bed, allowing it to grow back fully.  Sea wool sponges have remarkable regenerative capabilities.

Pure Suds Co. works with sustainable harvesting sea sponge programs in the Caribbean, Bahamas and the Mediterranean Sea.  We also work with an amazing ocean conservancy program, that’s been most helpful and courteous with sharing information and research studies of these creatures and their habitat.
