African Black Soap from Ghana is crumbly, soft and unscented. It ranges from a light brown color to a dark brown color and often near black but never completely black, as shown in the video.

RECIPE: African black soap is made solely of ALL NATURAL ingredients such as virgin palm kernel oil, cocoa pods and/or plantain skin ashes, palm oil and unrefined Shea butter.

African black soap has the ability to deeply clean and thoroughly detoxify the skin, remove makeup, reduce oily skin and relieve skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, hives, foot fungus, ringworm and skin rashes. Since African black soap is made up of approximately 50% shea butter, it can also help minimize dark spots, marks and skin discoloration as well as even skin tone. African black soap can also be used to heal skin blemishes such as acne, blackheads and occasional breakouts.

For men, African black soap can prove to be an exceptional tool in dealing with unsightly razor bumps as black soap can be used to help minimize the appearance and severity of those razor bumps under the chin and sides of the face.
