Anyone know if these are vegan and cruelty free? I don't think they are but can't find info. Thanks!

@darkhomespun @I was able to hover over the ingredients here in Q and there's no animal products at all in them.

@darkhomespun   Respect and appreciate your interesting question.  Sponges are very simple creatures without tissue.   You can easily find more details regarding this information :

Why Are Sponges Considered Animals? Here are the prominent reasons you should consider…
#1. Sponges belong to the phylum Porifera
#2. Sponges are Sessile, Pore bearing, Monoblastic animals
#3. Sponges capture their food to eat
#4. They absorb organic carbon
#5. They produce sperm cells, not pollen grains
#6. Their cells do not have cell walls
#7. The reserve food material of sponges is glycogen

@phoenixbrd    The spongy part of Scrubzz appears to be a synthetic material.

As an experiment today I used a Scrubzz to "wash" my hair as they advertise you can do.  I really soaked and scrubbed my hair, which wasn't dirty.  Its dry now and it feels stiff and greasy.  Not happy with the results.

@Kachina624   Thanks for the clarification.  I read "sponge" as an ingredient on the package.  Too bad about the hair...hope you have it under control.

What I know is that when I had a badly fractured right humerus that required surgery with plates, screws, and small cables, followed by physical and occupational therapy, this product was a real life saver for this right handed gal who was not able to take a real shower for months. I recommend these to anyone who has issues with bathing or showering no matter what the reason.
