Luffa is a fibrous plant material obtained from the fruit of the Luffa Cylindrica. Lipo® Lufa is prepared for personal care use by the controlled grinding of the dried fruit of the plant. The particle size distribution is carefully controlled to ensure consistent performance. The dried luffa particles swell in the presence of water, thereby creating a gentle exfoliating effect.
Lipo's range of natural exfoliants offer an alternative to polyethelyne beads which are coming under increasing pressure from an environmental point of view. Online petitions such as this one demonstrate the growing public opinion on the topic.
