Caribbean Silk Sea Sponge

Caribbean Silk Sponge: Silk sponges are the softest and densest sponges one can buy. They are small and are primarily used for the application, removal of make-up and facial cleansing. Thes are soft enough to be used on a baby's skin.

Unlike Mediterranean and Pacific Silk Sponges, these sponges have a light rough texture to them, making them a great sponge for lightly exfoliating facial cleansing.

Caribbean Silk Sponges on average grow to 4" and are therefore not large enough to be used in the bath or shower.
