Firmer sisal pillow for stronger exfoliation
The Sisal Scrubbing Sponge - Extra Pillow is a 14 x 12 x 4 cm bath pillow with a noticeably firmer build and coarser surface than the Gentle Pillow version. It is made for users who already enjoy natural-fibre care and want a deeper scrub. At 67 g it feels substantial in the hand and sits stable even under hot running water.
Who it is for
Ideal for reworking thicker skin areas: heels, elbows, knees and the backs of the thighs. Normal and combination skin will enjoy it weekly; it is not recommended on thin or inflamed skin.
How to get the most out of it
Soak in warm water for thirty to sixty seconds so the fibres soften. Add a natural shower gel and work in gentle circles for fifteen to twenty seconds per area. Use it no more than twice a week on sensitive skin — the barrier needs time to recover. Avoid fresh wounds, active rashes, and freshly waxed skin for the first twenty-four hours.
Care and replacement
Squeeze out water by hand after each use and air-dry on an open shelf. Every few weeks a ten-minute soak in warm water with a pinch of baking soda freshens the fibres. Replace after five to seven months of daily use.
Why this one
Rough areas like heels need weekly attention or they build up and resist moisturisers. The Extra Pillow comes close to the effect of a heel file but works with a fully plant-based, microplastic-free material — a thorough and sustainable choice.
