Black Liquid Soap
This African black soap is traditionally handmade and fair-trade certified by women's cooperatives in Ghana, West Africa. It is made with pure, organically grown shea butter, palm oil, and coconut oil.
This African soap is made with shea butter and palm oil, using lye from vegetable ash, such as cocoa shells. This is the oldest and most traditional way of making soap, as ash has been used for thousands of years to create a lye solution. This process occurs by leaving ash and water together for a period until it becomes strong enough to convert fat/oil into soap.
This results in saponified shea butter and saponified palm oil. There is no lye remaining in the final product after the process is complete. This soap is made for Akamuti by producers directly in Ghana, West Africa under fair trade conditions.
No chemicals, preservatives or synthetic fragrances are added. The scent comes from essential oils, and it's also available without essential oils for those with sensitive skin.
Body use: A liquid dark soap suitable for both hand washing and as a soap for the entire body. It is economical and cleanses effectively.
Facial use: African Black Soap is a very healthy soap for the skin due to its purity and simplicity. As a face soap, it works well for oily skin and against acne but is not suitable for dry faces. It is said to counteract rashes, problem skin, and eczema-prone skin as it contains a high amount of shea butter**.**
Hair soap use: Suitable as a shampoo for short hair and afro hair, it can be too "heavy" for thin and long hair.
