Product description

African Black Soap, also known as Alata Samina in Ghana, is a traditional black soap made from plant ash, including ash from cocoa beans and plantain peels. Our version builds on the same craftsmanship with plantain, cocoa, roasted palm leaves, coconut oil, and unrefined shea butter, just as village women in Ghana have made it for generations.

Black soap is a gentle yet powerful cleanser that lifts away dirt and excess sebum without leaving the skin feeling stripped. Many people appreciate it for cleansing the skin deeply while still providing a soap that feels more balanced for the face, body, and scalp. It often feels slightly rough at first, but quickly softens in your hands and creates a smooth lather.

Just like shea butter, it is both anti-inflammatory and antibacterial. 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 soft lather. Massage into the face, body, or scalp and rinse thoroughly. Store it dry between uses, preferably on a draining soap dish, so it lasts longer.

A little tip
Black soap is strong. If you start too intensively, your skin may react with an initial cleansing period. Start a few times a week, see how your skin responds, and build up from there.

Buying a piece of black soap from us also gives the women who make it income and stability. That is really the whole point 🤎

  • Acne & blemishes
  • Oily or combination skin

Ett måste-ha hemma hos mig! En otroligt bra produkt för min blandade och känsliga hud!

August

Väldigt bra riktigt nöjd.

Marie

Blev glatt överraskad av denna tvål! Otroligt dryg och löddrar så fint, svider inte heller i ögonen som vanlig fast tvål brukar göra. Starkt beroendeframkallande så jag med känslig hy blev lite torr efter daglig användning, nu använder jag den varannan dag och då funkar den fint. Enda nackdelen är att mitt hår inte blir bra efter att ha använt tvålen som schampo.. kanske behöver håret vänja sig🤷🏼‍♀️

BÄSTA tvålen för mitt hår. Min psoriasis i hårbotten är helt borta!

My-Louise

Fantastisk tvål till ansikte och kropp😍 rengör verkligen på djupet och återfuktar samtidigt, jag använder alltid sheasmör efteråt och huden får lyster och känns så ren och mjuk. Rekommenderas verkligen❤️

Parmida Erfani Kia

Perfekt produkt för dem som har acne, jag själv hade fungal acne och jag testade allt för att få bort den och de ända som hjälpte mig var black soap. Min hy har aldrig mått så bra och jag är väldigt nöjd och tacksam över att hittat denna produkten och även tacksam för personerna som tillverkar det. Tack för allt <3
