Linuka — The Wild Loofah Ancestral Skin Scrubber
Linuka means “scrubber” in Lingala, a language spoken in Congo — where this plant-based tool has been used for centuries in ritual skin care.
A wild-harvested loofah in its rawest form — still wrapped in its sun-dried skin, just as nature intended.
Grown across West and Central Africa, and used for generations to restore skin, renew circulation, and awaken the body’s natural glo
raw, sun-dried loofah — harvested wild, with its skin still on — just as it has been used for generations.
No plastic. No nylon. Just nature’s original exfoliator.
The most ancient skincare tool — as nature intended.
This is not your store-bought sponge. Our raw loofah is a pure, wild-grown fruit from the Luffa aegyptiaca plant — harvested with the skin still on, sun-dried, and delivered to you whole.
Free from synthetic fibres, chemicals, or processing, this is skin therapy in its purest form. As part of the Mbembi skincare rituals, we bring you loofah in its natural, sacred state — still wrapped in its plant skin, rich with exfoliating fibres, and full of ancestral tradition.
You’ll peel the skin off yourself, revealing the golden web of fibres within. A gentle shake will release any natural seeds left inside — just as it’s meant to be.

No synthetics – most store-bought loofahs are nylon blends, or plastic made to look “natural”

-
Ancestral skincare tool – used across Africa and Asia for generations
-
No microplastics or hidden chemicals – only exfoliating plant fibre
-
Supports natural circulation & glow – ideal for dry brushing or use with water instead of synthetic exfoliating gloves

Your loofah will be:
-
Picked fresh from wild-growing Luffa plants

Shipped to us before we dispatch to you
Please allow up to 21 days for delivery — this is slow beauty, not fast plastic. This is because it is not sprayed with pesticides.
Each loofah is 25–35cm long, naturally dried, and varies in width. No two are identical — and that’s part of the beauty.
