The Application of Konjac Gum in Natural Sponges
Konjac gum, derived from the root of the konjac plant, is a natural, plant-based binder widely used in the production of eco-friendly cleansing sponges. In Southeast Asia, where consumers increasingly prefer natural and biodegradable products, konjac gum offers a safe, gentle, and sustainable alternative to synthetic materials.
When used in sponge applications, konjac gum forms a soft, elastic texture that becomes incredibly gentle when hydrated. It is especially suitable for:
Natural facial cleansing sponges
Baby-safe bath pads
Gentle exfoliating pads for sensitive skin
Because of its non-toxic, biodegradable, and fragrance-free nature, konjac gum helps manufacturers create sponge products that align with today’s demand for plant-based, plastic-free, and earth-friendly personal care solutions.
