Frequently Asked Questions
Are sea sponges safe for newborns?
Yes, natural sea sponges are ideal for newborn hygiene. Being organic and hypoallergenic, they do not irritate an infant's delicate skin. Their natural antimicrobial properties make them more hygienic than synthetic alternatives, provided they are dried properly between uses.
