The Story

Hydrea London's parent company, the Natural Sea Sponge Company began in a small warehouse in Kalymnos, Greece which still operates today. The company was started (and continues) to support the old traditions of sponge fishing in Greece and Tunisia; they help maintain the high standards of the industry and work closely with the divers to support the local communities. In 1996 when the company became Limited, they introduced other natural bath care accessories to complement the range of natural sea sponges and so Hydrea London was born. In keeping with the high standards for their sponges, Hydrea London quickly became known as the most ethical and best quality brand available. Hydrea London is now an international brand supplying luxurious bodycare all around the world, and the warehouse in London still hand processes the sponges in the old traditional style.
