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 🤎

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know

01 What is black soap good for?

African black soap has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. It is gentle but deeply cleansing, making it a favorite for:

  • Acne & blemishes
  • Oily or combination skin
  • Dandruff & itchy scalp
  • Hyperpigmentation

Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

02 Does it work on sensitive or dry skin?

Yes, but start gently. Black soap is effective and can feel strong if your skin is not used to it. Use it a few times a week at first, listen to your skin, and build up from there.

Provade Black Soap första gången i morse när jag rengjorde mitt ansikte som en del i min hudvårdsrutin. Jag slogs av att endast en liten, liten bit av tvålen behövdes i min hand för att jag med fuktade händer kunde gnugga fram ett lödder och tvål på händerna som jag sedan tvättade mig med i ansiktet. Efteråt smörjde jag in ansiktet med sheasmöret härifrån. Det behövdes också bara en liten mängd som jag lät smälta mellan händerna och sedan smörjde jag in ansiktet med. Väldigt dryga produkter båda två.

När min 2 månaders bebis fick svamp i ljumskarna, så pass mycket att läkaren rekommenderade en salva mot fotsvamp. Köpte jag salvan, kom hem, skulle smörja men fegade ur. Valde istället att tvätta med blacksoap och smorde in med sheasmör. 3 dagar krävdes det och allt var borta. Blacksoap används flitigt till alla barnen och oss vuxna. Jag älskar hur håret blir efter en dusch med blacksoap, älskar hur rent ansiktet blir efter varje tvätt med blacksoap.

Magisk tvål. Funkar super som schampo utan balsam. Löddrar härligt. Hyn blir så mjuk och härlig.

Bästa ever!!!!! Min hy har aldrig varit så bra 😊

Har haft problem med exem på händerna i många år till och från. Sen jag använt denna som tvål (ca 5 månader) har det blivit mycket bättre, nästan obefintligt! Rekommenderar starkt! :)

Så himla bra för hud och hår! Var lite svårt för mitt hår att vänja sig vid i början då det blev lite strävt. Ändrades med tiden. Aldrig haft så hälsosam skalp!
Känns inte heller sträv på huden för min del, som andra jag testat under många år. Ett lika självklart alternativ till hud-och hårvård som sheasmöret.
Tack för det ni gör och för otroliga produkter till humana priser!
