I’ve seen some konjac sponges in the shops wrapped in plastic and it is already wet and ‘spongey’ whereas Hush Botanicals’ konjac sponge is hard when I first buy it. What’s the difference?

Stay away from sponges that come already ‘wet’ and soft because they could be one of 2 things: 1) completely fake sponges not made of natural konjac fibres but just labelled as ‘konjac’ sponge, or 2) Full of chemicals and preservatives to keep the damp konjac from getting mouldy in the packaging. As natural konjac sponges are preservative-free, they come sterilised and dried to maintain their freshness and shape. It is important to rehydrate the sponge before you use and then to air dry them after use to stop mould growing on them.
