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

Denna tvålen är heeeelt fantastiskt. Jag har kämpat i många år med min perioral dermatit och den är helt borta nu, använder den för hela kroppen ink håret och älskar den!! Jag kommer aldrig köpa någon annan tvål. Plus att den är super dryg. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Tanja

Mycket nöjd med sheasmör, en genuin produkt !Nu ska jag köpa den igen och vill testa också black soap. Gillade så mycket förpackning, så fint, den värmde hjärtat, kände kärlek och omsorg!
Vill uttrycka min tacksamhet till de afrikanska kvinnorna som skapar så fina produkter och till er som levererar dem till oss för verkligen humana priser!

Har hjälpt mig som har väldigt känslig, torr, röd hy. Nu är hyn lugnare och ren.

Mari

Detta är en fantastisk grej! Särskilt ihop med sheasmör. Var SÅ skeptisk till att det skulle funka för min hy som väldigt lätt får tilltäppta porer och efterföljande acne. Tvätta och smörja in sig med ”smör” går liksom emot allt man lärt sig…. 😊

Sofie

Använder som ansiktstvätt. Tog ett tag innan min hy vande sig vid det. I början blev hyn ”grov” och kändes inte alls bra, men jag gav det någon vecka och efter det blev min hy så fin och fick sån lyster. Smörjer in med sheasmöret efter att jag tvättat ansiktet och kombon är 👌🏼.

Malin

Använder som schampo, ansiktsrengöring och bästa att ta bort mascara med. Funkar även bra att enkelt tvätta bort pennfärg när barnen målat egna tatueringar. Har använt en 200gr i närmare ett år nu. Tog några tvättar för håret att bli van men mitt platta hår får mycket mer volym med black soap.
