Description

Konjac sponges are 100% natural, plant-based cleansing sponge made from the fibrous root of the konjac plant. Perfect for all skin types, including sensitive, they provide incredibly gentle physical exfoliation to buff away dead skin cells, unclog pores, and deeply cleanse while maintaining the skin's natural pH balance.

Maintenance and Lifespan
Konjac sponges naturally break down over time. Depending on your usage, you should replace your sponge every 6 to 8 weeks. Once it begins to lose its shape or break down, it can be tossed directly into your home compost bin or buried in the garden to help retain soil moisture.
How to Use
  1. Soak: Saturate the hard, dry sponge in warm water until it fully expands and becomes pillowy-soft.
  2. Squeeze: Gently press out excess water (do not wring it, as this can tear the fibers).
  3. Cleanse: Massage your face in light, circular motions.
  4. Dry: Rinse thoroughly after use, press out the water, and hang it in a well-ventilated area to dry.

Our Green Tea Konjac Sponges are infused with Green Tea Powder, which is rich in antioxidants, removing toxins from the skin and slowing the signs of ageing.

Our Charcoal Konjac Sponges are infused with Charcoal and are best suited for oily and combination skin types.  The bamboo charcoal has antibacterial properties which help to detoxify the skin.  It’s also great at absorbing excess sebum, leading to fewer blackheads and breakouts.

How To Use

When you first get your konjac sponge, it will be hard. Don't ever use them hard.

With warm water, get it really wet and you will feel it soften and be almost a little slippery. At this stage it's ready to use.

It maybe used alone or add a pump of your favourite cleanser.

Zesté Skin FAQ & Product Guides

How long will this product last?

The frequency in which you use it and how you treat it will determine how long you get out of your konjac facial sponge.

The more care you take with them, the longer they last. In between uses, let the sponge dry out. Get excess water out by gently squeezing the sponge only. If you wring it, it will break down far too quickly.

As your konjac sponge dries, it will harden. This is normal.
How long will it take to see results?
What benefits does this product provide?

A konjac sponge will give you deep cleansing power and gently exfoliate each time you use it. They're perfect for normal skin types, mature skin, oily skin, dry skin and even sensitive skin. We do recommend limited use if you have sensitive skin as the sponges do physically exfoliate.

For those with oily skin, they are particularly good at unclogging pores and removing dead skin cells without any product necessary. They are great for removing makeup and if you're travelling, you can ditch your cleanser, exfoliant and makeup remover for one sponge.
Where are your products made?

All Zesté Skin products are proudly 100% handcrafted in our private lab in rural South Australia. Established in 2017 and founded by a former nurse and qualified skin therapist with a background also in cosmetic science, every formula is thoughtfully developed in small batches using skin-safe botanical ingredients and active formulations designed for visible results.
Whats the difference between Bakuchiol & Vitamin A?

Simple way to think about it:

  • Vitamin A = direct cell communication (strong, active, corrective)
  • Bakuchiol = plant-based multi-tasker (antioxidant + gentle retinol-like support + calming)

Vitamin A (e.g. retinol, retinal):

  • Converts in the skin into retinoic acid (the active form)
  • Directly binds to receptors in skin cells
  • Strongly speeds up cell turnover
  • More proven and potent for targeting fine lines, texture, pigmentation and acne
  • Can cause irritation, dryness or sensitivity as the skin adjusts
  • Not recommended during pregnancy or breast-feeding

In short: faster, stronger results—but more potential for irritation.

Bakuchiol:

  • Plant-derived alternative that does not convert to retinoic acid
  • Works indirectly on similar pathways (collagen support, pigmentation, inflammation)
  • Much gentler and better tolerated, even for sensitive skin
  • Slower, more subtle improvements over time
  • Less risk of redness or barrier disruption
  • Pregnancy and breast-feeding safe

In short: gentle, supportive, and barrier-friendly—but less intensive.

Yes. Our formulations combine botanical ingredients with clean, skin-safe science-backed actives to create effective products that are gentle on the skin and consciously formulated.

Yes. Every Zeste Skin formula is thoughtfully created to be suitable for pregnancy, using skin-safe botanical ingredients and gentle actives, including Bakuchiol.
Is it safe for sensitive skin?

Yes. All products are formulated to be gentle, barrier-supportive and suitable for most sensitive skin types. As every skin is unique, we always recommend patch testing before use.
