African Black Soap Bar

150g
All skin typesOily skinCombination skin

A cleanser with a soft lather. Made with shea butter for moisture, neem oil for antibacterial properties, and turmeric for brightening and soothing the skin. Please note: African Black Soap is a deep-cleansing product. Those with a weakened skin barrier may experience tingling or slight burning — this is normal. We recommend starting slowly (2-3 times per week) and building up tolerance gradually. Always follow with Rose Water to restore your skin's pH balance.

Our African Black Soap Bar is crafted using a traditional West African recipe passed down for thousands of years. Made with plantain ash, neem oil, and shea butter, it deeply cleanses the skin while keeping it soft and nourished. The bar creates a rich lather that removes excess oil, sweat, and buildup without stripping the skin of its natural moisture.

Please note: This is a deep-cleansing soap. If you experience tingling or a slight burning sensation, it may indicate a weakened skin barrier. Start with 2-3 times per week and build up tolerance gradually. Always follow with Rose Water or Neroli Water to restore your skin's pH balance.

FAQ

African Black Soap is formulated with organic and ethically sourced ingredients, making it a natural option for most skin types. However, its purifying properties can be too strong for some sensitive skin types. If irritation occurs, reduce usage and ensure you follow with a moisturizer.

No, its rich blend of shea butter and aloe vera provides deep hydration while cleansing. However, those with dry or sensitive skin should monitor their skin's response and adjust usage accordingly.

Absolutely! Neem oil and turmeric work together to combat breakouts, reduce inflammation, and support overall skin health.

The bar version offers a classic cleansing experience, creating a luxurious lather for deep purification.

Yes, but individuals with sensitive or dry skin may benefit from using it a few times per week rather than daily.

Give your skin biology it actually recognises.
