Fast African Soap / African Black Soap 130 grams - Akamuti

This beautiful African black soap is traditionally handmade and fair trade certified by a women's cooperative in Ghana, West Africa.

Cocoa leaves and cocoa husks

The women use techniques that have been used for thousands of years. Black soap is a unique soap made with potassium lye. The potassium lye is produced from cocoa leaves, cocoa husks, and plantain leaves. This plant-based solution gives the black soap its characteristic chocolate brown color.

High shea butter content gives a creamy texture

African Black Soap has a wonderfully creamy lather that leaves the skin hydrated and soft. The high shea butter content in black soap gives it the creamy texture ideal for dry and sensitive skin. It has a mild, neutral scent with no added fragrance.

Organic shea butter, coconut oil, palm oil, and cocoa butter

It is made from 50% pure, organic shea butter, saponified coconut oil, saponified palm oil, and cocoa butter. No chemicals, preservatives, or fragrances are added.

Who is the soap suitable for?

African Black Soap is suitable as a body soap for everyone. Thanks to the purity and simplicity of the ingredients, it is one of the most skin-friendly soaps available.

It also works excellently as a natural shampoo for very dry hair. As a facial soap, it suits oily and acne-prone skin (not for very dry faces).

Saponified Shea Butter* (Butyrospermum parkii), Saponified Coconut Oil* (sodium cocoate), Saponified Palm Oil* (Elaeis Guineensis), and Cocoa Butter* (Theobroma cacao). Nothing else. *Wildcrafted, Fairly traded.

This soap absorbs water easily, so keep it on a soap dish. It is softer than commercial soap, making it easy to cut off a piece and use a small amount at a time. Since this is a handmade product, you might find a small piece of gravel or wood in it, so rub it into your hands first instead of directly on your body.
