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

Köpte Sheasmöret till min hud som är väldigt torr och problem med eksem. Eksemen är helt borta och huden blir så mjuk & len.
Har blivit en favorit även hos dottern på 15 år ❤️

Fick idag hem black soap och provade till kvällen, underbart skum och mjuk och len hud efteråt.
Rekommenderar dessa produkter varmt❣️
Det är helt klart mina nya favoriter som alltid kommer finnas i mitt hem.
Paketen kommer lyxigt förpackade oxå.

Använder till kroppen när jag duschar. Älskar det verkligen! Brukar dela upp tvålen i flera små så använder jag en liten i taget. Doftar underbart och man känner sig ren.

Jag älskar denna tvål, vill inte vara utan varken den eller ert ljuvliga sheasmör! Jag har handeksem, och tvålen är det enda som riktigt fungerat för att häva ett utbrott, utan kortison... Innerligt tacksam över det! Mitt enda problem är att jag inte kommit på hur jag ska göra för att inte tvålen ska bli för mjuk, och smeta ut på tvålfatet (och därmed ta slut fort). Jag har testst ha den på luffa-kudde, tvålfat med avrinning, och tvålfat av både plast och glas... Men problemet kvarstår. Har någon ett tips? Kommer hursomhelst definitivt fortsätta köpa demna magiska tvål! ♥️

Linda Nilsson

Helt fantastiskt till både ansikte och hår! Jag har haft problem m klåda i hårbottnen och det är nu borta efter att ha använt tvålen några veckor. Redan köpt en till😁

Mahaa

Jag har haft klåda i hårbotten länge och testat många schampon utan resultat. Den här tvålen hjälpte direkt, klådan försvunnit helt. Däremot fick längderna en lite “krämig” känsla, tror det kan bero på att håret har inte vant sig än så jag vill testa mer. Men hittills är jag väldigt nöjd!

Laila Söderström

Ihop med sheasmör.... En sådan bra räddning för huden! Våga prova!
