I love seeing people discover this tool for the first time because it’s so simple yet transformative.
Here are some reasons why I believe everyone should make it part of their ritual:
1. Deep, Gentle Exfoliation
The texture of the net sponge removes dead skin cells without being harsh. It leaves your skin soft, smooth, and glowing.
2. Better Lather, Less Waste
It creates a rich lather with just a small amount of soap or cleanser, which means your products last longer.
3. Long-Lasting and Hygienic
Unlike loofahs or washcloths, the net sponge dries quickly and doesn’t hold bacteria. One sponge can last a year or more with proper care.
4. Easy to Use and Reach Everywhere
Its length makes it perfect for cleansing your back and other hard-to-reach areas, making your shower feel like a full-body experience.
5. A Connection to Culture and Care
Every time I use it, I’m reminded that beauty has always existed in our communities. We’ve always had rituals that work, even before the world called them self-care.
From Senegal to You
When I started Sunu Body, bringing this sponge to a wider audience felt personal. It was my way of honoring where I come from while helping others discover a ritual that feels both grounding and renewing.
Each sponge is made by Senegalese women artisans who pour their time, skill, and heart into every piece. When you use it, you are not only taking care of your skin, you are supporting a lineage of women who have kept this tradition alive through their hands.
This is what Sunu means to me. Ours. Our beauty. Our rituals. Our care.
How to Build Your Ritual With It
To create your own ritual, start by soaking your sponge in warm water for a few seconds to soften it. Add a small amount of African Black Soap or your favorite cleanser and work it into a gentle lather.
Move slowly and breathe as you cleanse, paying attention to the areas that hold tension. When you finish, apply shea butter or body oil to seal in moisture and intention.
You’ll notice that your skin not only feels renewed, but you do too.
