Sponges are, healthy?

There are many benefits to use a sea sponge instead of a normal household sponge. A normal man made sponge usually consists of a petroleum base and has chemicals on it, such as triclosan, that effect the bodies nervous system and bodies hormones.  Sea sponges are biodegradable as well and produce no natural toxins. Sea sponges are better than normal sponges in many ways, such as they produce a natural lather that helps to nourish human skin. They are very soft and are hypoallergenic. Another reason is that they will save you money because they last longer than normal sponges and produce the natural lather. They also contain enzymes that inhibits the growth of mold and bacteria, so they are multi-purpose because they can now not only clean yourself but the area around it. Sponges also contain minerals. The minerals contained in sea sponges nourish and benefit the skin, they include, calcium, magnesium, sodium, iron, zinc, and potassium. Next time you think about buying a sponge go buy yourself a real sea sponge and save moolah.
