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 🤎

Underbar tvål som inte torkar ut hud eller hår! Jag har afrohår och haft svårt att hitta bra schampo, använda rikligt av tvålen och jag kunde till och med reda ut håret med fingrarna (!!). ++ så fin kundservice, rekommenderar starkt!

Magisk produkt för både kropp och hår 😍

Jätte jätte jätte bra produkter . Har använt både black soap och Shea smör och de fick bort mina svamp fläckar på kroppen som jag fick av solen. Och använder black soap som schampo ibland när jag inte använder vanlig schampo och de har verkligen gjort mitt hår tjock friskt glansigt och starkt , mitt hår växer friskare ! Jag kommer aldrig sluta använda deras produkter!!!! ❤️❤️🌸🌸🌸

Kristina

Använder black soap som schampo. Jag förvånades över att det blev ett så härligt, krämigt lödder. Jag har väldigt tunnt hår, men många hårstrån. Sedan jag började tvätta med blacksoap har jag fått mer volym på håret och min frisör har kommenterat att jag har väldigt mycket tillväxt. Enda nackdelen är att håret känns väldigt strävt när jag sköljer ur skummet och jag måste avsluta med ett bra balsam.

Helt fantastisk produkt som har gjort underverk för min hy. Har haft problem med akne och rosacea sedan jag fick mitt första barn för sju år sedan. Inget har fungerat tills jag började använda både black soap och sheasmöret. Hela familjen använder black soap och sheasmör på olika vis. Tipsar alla runt mig att testa. Dessutom ett fntastiskt företag lett av inspirerande människor, vilket gör det hela ännu bättre. Heja! Heja! ❤️🍀✨️
