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.

Me ayudó mucho, tengo la piel seca y he tenido problemas con el acné. ¡Me ayudó mucho!

¡Producto maravilloso! No solo te sientes absolutamente limpio, sino que también ahorra mucho tiempo en la ducha porque lo uso como champú y jabón. Genial cuando pospones las cosas por la mañana (= no te levantas a tiempo) pero aún así logras ducharte con un buen margen. Después no use acondicionador, cepille el cabello antes de la ducha y luego un poco de manteca de karité en las puntas. Mi caída ha salido mucho más acentuada y mi cabello tiene buen volumen sin productos. ¡Recomiendo encarecidamente tanto el jabón como el champú!

¡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!

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. 😄

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!

El mejor producto desde hace mucho tiempo para mi psoriasis. Tenga el jabón tanto como champú como para el cuerpo. Mi psoriasis costrosa realmente se ha calmado y algunas están empezando a desaparecer. Mi cabello se ha vuelto más abundante y mi cuero cabelludo más tranquilo. ¡La cima! Lo recomiendo encarecidamente. ¡¡Intentar!!
