African Black Soap Bar

African black soap is a recognized name with a genuine tradition behind it — built on plant ash, shea butter and cocoa butter rather than a modern actives blend. This bar leans into that heritage rather than reinventing it.

It's built for oily, congested and uneven-toned skin, and it doubles as a strong post-shave bar. The lather is rich from the shea and cocoa butter, and the formula works well across the whole body, not just the face.

Best for

Oily, congested, uneven-toned skin. Post-shave. Full-body use.

How to use

Start two to three times a week and build up to daily as skin adjusts. Lather onto wet skin, work in with circular motions, rinse. Always follow with a moisturizer.

Ingredients

Plant ash, shea butter, cocoa butter, palm oil, coconut oil, olive oil, vegetable glycerin, sodium hydroxide, water.

How it's made

Cold-processed by hand in Turkey and cured on wooden racks for several weeks. Each bar is cut by hand from a poured block, so slight differences in size, shade and marbling are normal.

Making it last

Keep the bar on a draining dish and never leave it sitting in water. A cold-process bar that dries out fully between uses lasts two to three times longer.
