African Black Soap

Handcrafted in small batches from traditional West African recipes, our African Black Soap is a multipurpose cleanser made from the ash of sun‑dried plantain skins, cocoa pods and palm leaves, blended with nourishing oils like shea butter, palm and coconut.

This natural, unrefined soap retains glycerine and beneficial plant minerals, offering a gentle cleanse that supports skin and scalp health. African black soap is prized for its ability to cleanse without stripping natural oils and is traditionally used to soothe skin irritation and scalp discomfort.

Its inherent antimicrobial properties help to fight common skin microbes, making it a favourite for acne‑prone skin and dandruff‑prone scalps. Expect a soft lather and earthy scent. Each bar may vary slightly in colour and shape due to artisanal processing.

Ingredients

Water, Cocoa Pod Ash, Plantain Skin Ash, Palm Kernel Oil, Saponified Coconut Oil, Shea Butter, Sunflower Oil.

How to Use

Wet the bar and work into a lather with hands or washcloth.

Storage & Safety

African black soap is naturally alkaline. If you have very dry or sensitive skin, start slowly and follow with a moisturiser.
