Some of you may recall my facial sponge haul at AEON Wellness some time back (in fact it’s over a year ago). I must commend the merchandiser of AEON Wellness at MidValley because there are always new facial sponges there, all below RM10.

I spotted the Chitin sponge this morning, no idea at that time what Chitin is but I had a feeling it had something to do with crabs as there’re crab illustrations on the pink packet. Oho! A quick check with Wikipedia told me that it is a characteristic component of the cell walls of fungi, the exoskeletons of arthropods such as crustaceans (e.g., crabs, lobsters and shrimps).

There are also Walnut and Green Algae sponges, all retail at RM7.90.
