The Ingredients
Hi,
Have you ever looked at a skincare product and wondered...
"What exactly am I putting on my skin?"
It's a fair question.
One reason African Black Soap has attracted so much attention is its traditional ingredient profile.
Depending on the specific formulation, traditional African Black Soap may contain ingredients such as:
🌿 Plantain
Plantain skins are traditionally dried and roasted to create an alkaline-rich ash used in the soap-making process.
🍫 Cocoa Pods
Cocoa pod ash is another traditional ingredient that can contribute to the soap's characteristic color and cleansing properties.
🥥 Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is commonly used in soap making and helps contribute to the cleansing and lathering characteristics of soap.
🌰 Shea Butte
Shea butter is traditionally valued for its emollient properties and is included in some black soap formulations.
🌴 Palm Oil
Palm oil has also been used traditionally in African soap-making.
The exact combination depends on the manufacturer and recipe.
And that's important.
When choosing a black soap, read the ingredients.
