Authentic African Black Soap. A fantastic natural gift for any new mum and baby!
This natural black soap is traditionally handcrafted & fairly traded with Women's co operatives in Togo, West Africa.
It has been made with 48% pure, organically grown shea butter & wildcrafted, virgin palm kernel oil. The lye that is used in the saponification process, is made from the ash of dried banana leaves & the bark from the local Agow tree (harvested sustainably).
Free from chemicals, preservatives, colour enhancers, no fragrances have been added to this natural recipe. The black colour of the soap is developed as a result of the saponification process which it undergoes and is completely free from black dyes & charcoal.
African black soap has a very mild scent & a wonderful creamy lather, leaving your skin moisturised & soft. African Black Soap is one of the healthiest soaps for the skin due to the purity and simplicity of the ingredients.
In Togo, black soap is the only soap used by mothers to wash their newborn babies, as its purity makes it gentle and non-drying for their sensitive skin. Black Soap is suitable for young & old, or anyone with tender skin. It leaves the skin smooth and soft & as a facial soap it is excellent for clearing acne.
Africans also use Black Soap to get rid of rashes, ring worm, measles, eczema, and as a natural shampoo to avoid dry, itchy scalps. Suitable for ALL skin types.
Black soap absorbs water easily, so keep your bar on a soap dish. This soap is softer than commercial soaps so it is easy to slice a piece of the main bar when using as a shampoo bar. As this is a pure product, you may get the occasional grain of grit in it , so rub it into your hands first!
