What makes Black African Soap (also known as African Black Soap or Black Soap African) so special is the purity of its ingredients. Unlike many Western soaps, African Black Soap is made entirely from natural, unrefined raw materials.
- Unrefined Shea Butter: Rich in vitamins A and E, deeply nourishes and hydrates the skin
- Coconut Oil: Naturally antibacterial and soothing, helps to cleanse without irritation
- Palm Kernel Oil: Packed with antioxidants and contributes to the soap’s creamy, gentle lather
- Plantain Skin Ash & Cocoa Pod Ash: Give the soap its signature dark color and offer light exfoliation for smoother skin
- Cocoa Pod Ash or Cocoa Butter (if used): Helps soften the skin and protect the natural skin barrier
- Castor Oil: Rich in ricinoleic acid and omega-6 fatty acids, this oil deeply moisturizes and helps maintain a healthy skin barrier. It leaves the skin soft, smooth, and nourished.
- Turmeric Powder: A powerful natural ingredient with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It helps reduce breakouts, dark spots, and dullness, while giving the soap a warm golden hue.
- Aloe Vera Gel: Known for its soothing and hydrating qualities, aloe vera helps calm irritation, reduce redness, and support healing, perfect for sensitive or inflamed skin.
Authentic black soap contains no synthetic fragrances, colorants, preservatives, or sulfates. The natural lye used in its production comes from plant ash, rather than synthetic chemicals commonly found in commercial soaps. This makes black soap especially suitable for sensitive skinand individuals withallergies.
