Luffa crushed in 50 g bags, exfoliating for creams and soaps for example.

Full luffa: the whole "squash", dried and flattened. Just wet it so that it finds its shape.

This long cylindrical sponge that is Luffa is in fact the result of a fruit from the cucurbitaceous family, the family of cucumbers. Once mature, the fruit is harvested, dried, peeled and then emptied to become this fibrous product so much prized for the bath. Must be kept away from humidity and light.
