How we make our African Black Soap

Our African Black Soap is made with virgin palm kernel oil, residues from making our unrefined shea butter, and plantain leaf ashes. The shea butter residue adds the base necessary to saponify the virgin palm kernel oil. All of our ingredients are simple and natural. The soap-making process is highly sophisticated, and requires hand-stirring for at least a day. After the soap has crystallized, it is allowed to cure for two weeks.

Uses of our African Black Soap

Our African Black Soap is an excellent all purpose soap. We recommend it especially for individuals with sensitive skin. In Togo it is known for making smooth skin, and is also used to treate skin irritations, acne, and other skin conditions. Our black soap can be formed into bars or balls with pressure. As soon as you begin using the soap, the contact with water will make it keep its shape. Also, you can make a liquid soap by filling a container loosely with the black soap and adding water to fill. The soap pieces will dissolve into the water and form a versatile liquid soap. Finally, athough the odor of our African black soap is very mild and pleasant, you can add essential oils to create your own fragrances.
