Compostable Mesh Sponge

Name: Compostable Mesh Sponge
Brand: Daily Concepts
SKU: DCIS-1008
Price: 14.00 USD
Availability: InStock

Gentle cleansing and light exfoliation, made from corn.

Conventional mesh sponges are polyethylene and effectively permanent. This one is polylactic acid — still a plastic, and we would rather say so, but made from corn sugar rather than oil and engineered to break down under composting conditions.

Light, high-lather, Mild. It does the everyday job without becoming a thing you feel bad about.

The cord is polyester and does not break down. Cut it off first, then cut the mesh into small pieces.

COMPOSITION

Mesh: compostable PLA, corn-based. Cord: 100% polyester, not compostable. Contains 1 piece. Made in Mexico/China.

PACKAGING

Recycled cardboard box, with a printed recycled cardboard sleeve. Both recyclable.

*The mesh sponge is certified compostable to [ABAP 20018]. It is made for industrial composting, where sustained heat breaks it down completely. Put it in your green bin, not a backyard heap — a home heap does not get hot enough, and it will still be there next year. Remove and discard the cord first. It is polyester and does not compost.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I exfoliate if I have sensitive or acne-prone skin?

Yes, but gently and less frequently. Choose tools with softer bristles or finer textures, avoid active breakouts entirely, and limit exfoliation to once a week. Over-exfoliating inflamed skin worsens acne and sensitivity.

2. Is Vigorous / Firm, too much for everyday?

For most people, two or three times a week is the right frequency at this texture.

3. What should I do if my skin reacts?

Stop using it. Our tools are for external use only, and we advise discontinuing use if irritation occurs. Redness that fades within a few minutes is normal friction; anything that lasts, stings or itches is not.

4. Is this good before self-tan?

Yes. Exfoliating a day before applying self-tan gives a more even result and helps it fade more evenly too. Moisturise the drier areas ( knees, elbows, ankles ) before you apply.

5. How do I look after it?

Rinse thoroughly after each use and hang it to dry. Do not machine wash it.

6. What does the texture level on the pack mean?

Every tool carries a texture level — Soft, Mild, Mild to Vigorous, or Vigorous — describing how much friction it creates against skin. It is a guide to sensation rather than to quality: a Soft tool is not a gentler version of a Vigorous one, it is made for a different job and often a different part of the body.

7. How often should I exfoliate?

Two or three times a week suits most people for the body, and once or twice for the face. Daily use is possible with our Mild tools if your skin tolerates it well. More is not better — exfoliation works by removing what has already loosened, and there is a limit to how much of that accumulates.

8. What does 'clinically and dermatologist tested' mean here?

It means the product has been assessed under supervision for skin tolerance. It is a safety and irritation measure, not a claim that the product treats any condition.

9. How do I stop a shower tool going musty?

Almost always it is drying, not washing. Rinse until the water runs clear, squeeze rather than twist, and hang it somewhere with moving air — a tool left flat on a shelf or in a closed shower corner stays damp and will start to smell within days.
