Product description

African black soap, also known as Alata Samina in Ghana, is a traditional black soap made with plant ash from ingredients including cocoa pods and plantain skins. Our version continues the same craft with plantain, cocoa, roasted palm leaves, coconut oil and unrefined shea butter, just as women in Ghanaian villages have made it for generations.

Black soap provides a gentle yet powerful cleanse that removes dirt and excess sebum without leaving the skin feeling tight. Many people value it when they want to cleanse deeply while using a soap that feels balanced on the face, body and scalp. It can feel slightly rough at first, but it softens quickly in your hands and creates a gentle lather.

Like shea butter, it also has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. That is why it is so often mentioned when people talk about a more even skin tone, calmer skin and fewer breakouts.

How to use it
Break off a small piece, wet your hands and rub it into a gentle lather. Massage onto the face, body or scalp and rinse thoroughly. Keep it dry between uses, preferably on a draining soap dish, so it lasts longer.

A tip
Black soap is powerful. If you begin too intensely, your skin may react with an initial cleansing period. Start a few times per week, observe how your skin responds and increase gradually.

Buying a piece of black soap from us also means that the women who make it receive income and stability. That is really the whole purpose.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know

01 What is African black soap good for?
African black soap has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. It is gentle but cleanses deeply, making it a favourite for:
  • Acne and blemishes
  • Oily or combination skin
  • Dandruff and an itchy scalp
  • Hyperpigmentation
Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
02 Does it work for sensitive or dry skin?
Yes, but begin carefully. Black soap is effective and can feel strong when your skin is not used to it. Use it a few times per week at first, listen to your skin and increase gradually.
Tip: always follow with our shea butter after cleansing. Black soap cleanses; shea butter restores.

¡Me encanta el producto!
Soy muy sensible a los olores así que fue difícil como las primeras 3 veces porque tiene un olor especial. Pero después de usarlo durante más de un año, creo que huele bien. Sólo uso este producto como limpiador facial porque tengo rosácea. Junto con el producto de mantequilla de sésamo, me ha ayudado enormemente. He probado muchos productos antes y no me han funcionado. Mi hija también lava sus moluscos con este producto y tiene efecto ya que se reduce la hinchazón, el enrojecimiento y los propios moluscos, entonces creo que funciona para reducir la inflamación. ¡Recomiende este producto a todos!

Es muy bueno y si lo recomiendo.

Ingela Öberg

¡Producto encantador! Úselo en la cara por la noche y no necesita una crema de noche después, la piel aún está suave por la mañana. ¡También es perfecto como jabón de ducha!

Therese Andersson

Producto increíblemente bueno. He probado muchos tipos diferentes de limpiadores, pero este es mi favorito absoluto ❤️ es el único jabón que mantuvo mi cara completamente limpia de granos y piel grasa. Yo también termino siempre con el aceite. No escatima y a pesar de eso nunca me sale mala piel. 😄

Caroline Kendrup

Lo mejor para mi cabello y para mi piel. Tengo el pelo fino pero con este jabón siento que mi pelo está más lleno. También tengo psoriasis en el cuero cabelludo y en el cuerpo y mis marcas han reducido de tamaño, enrojecimiento y aspereza. Uno incluso ha desaparecido en el codo. Un súper jabón en verdad. ¡Muy recomendable!
