This beautiful, authentic African Black Soap is traditionally handcrafted & fairly traded with Women's co operatives in Togo, West Africa. It is made with 48% pure, organically grown shea butter & virgin palm kernel oil. The lye that is used in the saponification process is made from the ash of dried banana leaves & the bark from the local Agow tree (harvested sustainably). There are no chemicals, preservatives, colour enhancers or fragrances added to the recipe. The black colour of the soap is developed as a result of the saponification process which it undergoes. It is completely free from black dyes & charcoal.

Uses

Akamuti African Black Soap has a very mild scent & a wonderful creamy lather, which leaves your skin moisturised & soft. African Black Soap is one of the healthiest soaps for the skin due to the purity and simplicity of the ingredients. In Togo, black soap is the only soap used by mothers to wash their newborn babies, as its purity makes it gentle and non-drying for their sensitive skin. Black Soap is recommended for young & old, or anyone with tender skin. It leaves the skin smooth and soft. As a facial soap it is excellent for clearing acne. Black soap has been used as a traditional cure to get rid of rashes, ring worm, measles, eczema, and as a natural shampoo to avoid dry, itchy scalps. It is suitable for ALL skin types.

Directions

Black soap absorbs water easily, so keep your bar on a soap dish. This soap is softer than commercial soaps so it is easy to slice a piece of the main bar when using as a shampoo bar. As this is a pure product, you may get the occasional grain of grit in it , so rub it into your hands first, rather than straight on the body, to avoid being scratched! There are many different ways to use this soap, so experiment.

Ingredients

Saponified Shea Butter & Palm Kernel Oil. Organically Grown & Fairly traded. Suitable for vegans.
