Sustainably harvested in the Mediterranean. Naturally limited, never mass produced.

Naturally grown in the Mediterranean and hand-harvested by Greek diving families, the Luxe Mati Sponge is our most elevated bathing sponge, designed for those who want their daily ritual to feel intentional, symbolic, and indulgent.

Each sponge is sun-dried along the Aegean coast, then finished with a hand-tied white cotton rope and Mati charm, the traditional Greek symbol of protection and good energy.

This is not a starter sponge.
It’s a statement piece for slow, grounding body rituals.

✔ Large 5–5.5” Luxe size for full-body cleansing
✔ Naturally soft, gently exfoliating & hypoallergenic
✔ Hand-harvested in Greece by generational diving families
✔ Finished with cotton rope & glass Mati charm
✔ Plastic-free, biodegradable & long-lasting

DETAILS

Naturally soft yet gently exfoliating, the Luxe Mati Sponge creates a rich lather that glides over skin, lifting away impurities while stimulating circulation.

Its larger size makes it ideal for full-body cleansing, slow shower rituals, and those who love a more indulgent bathing experience.

Each sponge is ethically cut from the root to allow natural regrowth and is completely unique in shape, texture, and tone — naturally grown, never manufactured.

ABOUT THE MATI

The Mati is a traditional Greek symbol believed to offer protection and positive energy. In Mediterranean homes, it’s often gifted as a gesture of care, a small reminder to slow down and look after yourself.

Materials
-100% natural Mediterranean sea sponge (Porifera)
-Naturally occurring marine minerals
-Cotton rope
-Glass Mati charm

THE RITUAL

Hand-harvested from the clear waters of the Aegean, this sponge transforms daily cleansing into a slow, sensory ritual.

Allow warm water to soften the sponge fully before use. Its natural structure creates a gentle exfoliation without abrasion, encouraging circulation while cleansing deeply.

Free from plastics and irritation, it’s designed to last, biodegrade, and eventually return to the earth.

~ From the Mediterranean, with care ~

HOW TO USE

How to Use

Soak in warm water to fully soften before first use
Apply cleanser or use alone
Massage gently over the body in circular motions
Rinse thoroughly after use
Hang or store in a dry, well-ventilated space

Aqua Zoi Tip:
If using the rope, avoid pulling or hanging the sponge while fully saturated. Gently squeeze out excess water and allow it to dry naturally to prolong its life.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

** Please squeeze out all excess water after use and before hanging up your sponge. As there is a rope through this sponge it will weight too heavily on the rope which may lead to tearing of the sponge **

◦ Allow to air dry fully between uses
◦Monthly refresh: soak in salted water (1 tsp salt in a cup of warm water), rinse, and dry. With proper care, your sponge will last many months.
