Why Wool Sponges?
-
Durable & Odor-Free
Wool sponges resist becoming gross or smelly and last 6 months to a year. -
Naturally Antimicrobial & Compostable
Organic wool’s inherent properties make these sponges eco-friendly and hygienic. -
Multi-Purpose Use
Gentle enough for skincare yet tough enough for cleaning dishes and surfaces.
How to Care for Your Wool Sponge
- Rinse & Dry: After use, rinse with warm water, squeeze out excess moisture, and lay flat to dry.
- Stains: Use soap as needed.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Wool will warp in a washing machine.
- Sunlight Sanitizer: Sunlight acts as a natural disinfectant.
Note: Sponges will shrink slightly with initial use but will settle to a regular sponge size and become scrubby over time. Do not cut them.
Sustainably Sourced Wool
These sponges are crafted from wool sourced at Ferndale Farms in Ferndale, California, where sheep are raised with care using climate-beneficial practices. Learn more about rancher Jill Hackett, her family, and their animals on Instagram: @humboldtherder.
Climate-Beneficial™ Verified by Fibershed
This wool is certified Climate-Beneficial™, grown on farms actively implementing a Carbon Farm Plan. These plans, developed with Resource Conservation Districts (RCD) or the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), measure and quantify practices that sequester carbon, directly contributing to mitigating climate change.
Supporting Regenerative Farming
Ferndale Farms incorporates cover crops, rotational grazing, and wildlife habitat maintenance, ensuring their land stewardship supports both people and the planet.
10% of profits go back to farms to help expand carbon farming practices, supporting a regenerative economy where natural materials meet sustainable living.

Our products are pure, intentional, and steeped in tradition. A little goes a long way. Use slowly and with care.
Our small-batch, fresh suet, dry-rendered, and unwhipped tallow naturally responds to environmental conditions. These gentle shifts in texture are to be expected and are a sign of the purity and simplicity of our ingredients.
- In warmer temperatures, the balm may soften. If exposed to extreme heat, refrigerate it to restore a firmer consistency. If it fully melts, leave the lid off and allow it to re-solidify in the refrigerator.
- In cooler temperatures, the balm may become firmer. To soften, place the jar in a warm water bath or bring it into the shower for a few minutes.
We embrace this seasonal adaptability as part of the natural rhythm and beauty of truly handmade, whole-food skincare.
