The konjac Sponge
Giving you 100% pure, natural & premium skincare
Natural and Vegan Sponges
What is Konjac?
The Konjac potato or Konnyaku is a perennial plant native to Asia and can be found growing wild at very high altitudes. A totally natural food source, Konjac is 97% water, rich in mineral goodness and low in calories. The plant is naturally alkaline, which leaves skin perfectly balanced.
PURE AND POLLUTANT FREE
Our pure Konjac is free from chemicals, colouring, additives and irritants. 100% biodegradable and fully sustainable, this moisture-rich plant fibre is lovingly hand-blended with natural volcanic water to create our powerful sponges.
USED FOR OVER 1,500 YEARS
Konnyaku has been used in Korea, Japan and China for over 1,500 years as medicine, food, a dieting aid and a beauty product. Due to the plant’s claimed health giving properties, the Konjac Sponge was originally created for delicate baby skin.
ETHICAL COMMITMENT
We are proud to carry the Leaping Bunny and Vegan Society symbols as signs of our commitment to producing natural, cruelty free skin care. All our sponges are tested for authenticity and purity, However, many inferior products are often mass produced in poor quality, unethical factories and use low grade, unclean materials.

THE WORLDS NO.1 & ORIGINAL KONJAC SPONGE
Internationally trade marked, we are the original Konjac Sponge Company. The first to market, the one that created the category. Often copied, but never bettered!
We supplying premium grade Konjac Sponge products worldwide. Our Vegan sponges are the most effective Korean skincare tools, deeply cleansing and exfoliating even the most sensitive skin for a natural glow. Our Konjac sponges are made by hand in the volcanic hills of Jeju Island in South Korea. A UNESCO world heritage protected site. Jeju Island is renowned as a pristine area of outstanding beauty and reputed to have some of the purest water in the world.
THE ULTIMATE KOREAN BEAUTY TOOL
Often copied but never bettered, copy brands do not have the technology, patents or know-how to create the high quality vegetable fibre sponge we offer.
Using the finest food grade Konjac, we only accept the purest products free from microbes or pollutants. We take our time, producing our Konjac Sponges by hand to develop a finer cell structure for even softer sponges with deeper exfoliation and cleansing properties. If a product doesn’t carry the Konjac Sponge Company trademark, then it is not a genuine Konjac Sponge Company product.
OUR FOUNDER
Michele Riley has a background in natural products, having started out in natural baby and child products. You will sometimes find details of Konjac Sponges that have come along since ours having “started out as baby sponges”, and thats correct, as Michele launched the products for this purpose, but quickly discovered the benefits for all age categories and worked to have other ingredients with skincare benefits added. She has never looked back.
Michele is still the founder and the director of The Konjac Sponge Company. Her ethics have never changed, and she is supported by a strong team of creative, caring and ethically minded staff.
More recently, in 2019, Michele changed the company registered name from The Konjac Sponge Company Ltd to Niche and Cult Ltd. This was purely so that the company could better embrace the other brands that are now distributed by the company. Same company number, same people and same ethics, the only change was the name.
Our Trademark is official and fully registered. We are also registered with The Vegan Society and Cruelty International so can proudly carry the leaping bunny symbol and the Vegan Society logo on all our Konjac Sponge Co® products.
