Did you know that the word ‘loofah’ comes from the luffa plant? It's a gourd in the cucumber family that, when dried out, was the original shower scrubber. In other words, your loofah started out all-natural, but then the industry careened towards synthetics like nylon, silicone, and plastic. Yuck. While anything with a little friction makes for a perfectly good body exfoliator, do we need to add more waste to the planet when there are plenty of natural alternatives available? (And are they really alternatives when they were, in fact, the original?) On top of that, I pose this question: Is there anything more gross than an old plastic shower loofah?
NPA details active year 23-Dec-2020 - Last updated on This year, we have been on the front lines ensuring that our products remain accessible to millions of health-conscious Americans and fighting to keep our essential businesses open. In the face of mass layoffs and business closures, we took decisive action to prevent policymakers from shutting us down. We wanted to take a moment to reflect on NPA’s victories this year:
NPA Protected Consumers from Bogus Products: NPA was first to call on the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to regulate dietary supplements illegally claiming their products prevent, treat or cure coronavirus.

A handful of marketers of CBD products have agreed to each pay tens of thousands of dollars to the Federal Trade Commission after they were charged with making deceptive claims. Dubbed “Operation CBDeceit,” the sweep of actions against six sellers of CBD-containing products highlights “the first law enforcement crackdown on deceptive claims” in the CBD market, according to the government agency in a Dec. 17 news release. The sweep also reflects the FTC’s ongoing efforts to protect consumers from deceptive, false and misleading health claims in advertisements on websites and via social media.
