The loofah has rich nutrient. Among melons and vegetables, the protein, starch, calcium, phosphorus, iron and various vitamins of loofah is much higher. The heat providing by loofah is just after the pumpkin glutathione. It contains 1.46 g protein, 4.3 g carbohydrates, 0.1 g fat, 0.5 g of cellulose, cellulose A0.32 mg, vitamin B10.04 milligram, B20.06 cellulose mg, cellulose C8 mg, calcium 28 mg, 45 mg phosphorus, and 0.8 mg iron in every 100g fresh fruits. The protein content is 2 to 3 times higher than in the melon and cucumber. The luffa also contains saponin, loofah bitter elements, large amounts of mucus, citrulline and fat.
Luffa can eliminate freckles, whitening, wrinkle removal, is a rare natural beauty agent. Long-term consumption or loofah liquid facial, but also the skin becomes smooth and delicate, with the anti-wrinkle anti-inflammatory, prevention, and special effects to eliminate acne and hyperpigmentation.

Modern pharmacological studies have shown that: Vitamin C is a highly active water-soluble antioxidants, not only prevents the body strong carcinogens – nitrosamines synthesis, is also involved in the in vivo physiological redox process and, together with the fat-soluble vitamin A , carotenoids and other antioxidants to prevent lipid excessive oxidation, and ultimately prevent lipofuscin pigment – formation of senile plaques.
Vitamin C can inhibit a melanin formation-related substance-the activity of tyrosinase in the body. It will inhibit the formation of pigmentation, melasma and senile plaques. Vitamin C also can restore the deposition of dark pigment to the light-colored pigment. It reduces the formation of melasma and senile plaques. Vitamin A and carotene can remove oxygen free radicals generated in the metabolic processes in the body, reducing the lipid oxidation, anti-aging. Therefore, the ingredients in the sponge gourd juice has the functions of anti-wrinkle, anti-inflammatory, preventing skin aging, eliminating freckle, melesma, hyperpigmentation, age spots and delaying cellular senescence.
