Made by Yamamoto Farm in the Gunma Prefecture in Japan, this 100% organic, plant-based pitch-black sponge is made by kneading Binchotan, an ancient Japanese high-grade charcoal, into a konjac puff. The adsorption action of the anti-bacterial charcoal powder thoroughly cleans pores and removes excess oil to keep your skin clean.

This plant, commonly eaten in the Japanese diet, has amazing water-retention properties, moisturizing power, and elasticity, that allow the sponge to gently remove impurities from your pores for a soft and glowy complexion. The surface of the sponge when full of water is covered in a membrane of slightly-alkaline water, which neutralizes, breaks down and washes away slightly acidic dirt and other impurities in pores to keep your skin healthy. 

Konjac is a potato-like plant and is a traditional food, unique to Japan. It is said that konjac was introduced to Japan as a vegetarian food for Buddhist monks. What was not eaten was repeatedly frozen and dried by hanging it outside for a few days during the harsh winter season. After this process, only konjac fibers remained which were used to make konjac sponges. In a time when clothing was not gentle, parents wanted to wash their newborn children comfortably and safely. The konjac sponge – now a Japanese skin care tradition – was born.
