It’s safe for all skin typesIf you have dry or sensitive skin, you likely already know that scented soaps and lotions are off-limits. African black soap is naturally fragrance-free — just make sure your chosen product is labeled “unscented.”People with oily or combination skin are also in the clear! Black soap can help balance your skin’s natural oil production without stripping necessary oils or adding excess oil to your skin.3. It’s moisturizingShea butter is a crucial ingredient in black soap. While shea can help relieve itchiness and soothe dry skin, cocoa and coconut oil add moisture.4. It won’t make your skin oilyIf you have combination skin, black soap makes choosing the right soap that much easier. Shea may add moisture, but coconut oil may help prevent overactive oil glands.5. It helps soothe irritationAfrican black soap may also soothe itchiness and irritation caused by:eczemacontact dermatitisskin allergiesIt may even help clear rashes related to eczema and psoriasis. To maximize these benefits, find a soap with oatmeal added.6. It’s anti-inflammatoryBlack soap is rich in in vitamins A and E. These vitamins are both antioxidants, which help combat free radicals and attacks on otherwise healthy skin tissues.This may be helpful for people who have inflammatory conditions like rosacea.7. It helps fight acneOn that note, black soap may also help fight acne.In addition to balancing your skin’s natural oils, the soap’s shea content may help repair damaged cells.Its antimicrobial properties may even clear severe acne caused by Propionibacterium acnes bacteria.8. It may help reduce fine linesShea butter and coconut oil may help reduce collagen loss and encourage new development.In turn, this can help plump up fine lines and wrinkles. The rough texture of the soap can also exfoliate dead skin cells that make fine lines more noticeable.9. It helps protect against photoagingAntioxidants found in shea butter can help protect your skin from photoaging. Over time, sun exposure can cause sun spots ( age spots), but black soap may offer another barrier.10. It helps improve skin textureAfrican black soap is chock-full of natural ingredients, but part of its benefits come from its form.When left unprocessed, the raw ingredients that make up black soap leave the product far less smooth than the average drugstore soap bar. This makes it a natural exfoliant, which may help improve skin texture.11. It helps prevent razor burn and related rashesExfoliation is another key factor in keeping your skin smooth after:shavingwaxingother methods of hair removalExfoliating will help remove dead skin cells before they can clog your hair follicles. The moisture in African black soap may also help prevent the lumps and bumps that result from razor burn.12. It may help reduce hyperpigmentationHyperpigmentation is often caused by acne scarring and sun damage — two things that African black soap may help soothe or prevent.13. It’s antifungalOne study on the effects of African black soap found the product effective for seven types of fungus — this includes the common Candida albicans yeast.You can safely use African black soap to help treat conditions like toenail fungus and athlete’s foot.Where do all these benefits come from?The benefits of African black soap lie in its ingredients, which includes a combination of:cocoa podscoconut oilpalm tree leaf derivatives, including palm kernel oil and palm oilplantain bark, which contains iron, as well as vitamins A and Eshea butterKeep in mind that the ingredient makeup of black soap largely varies based on the region of Africa where it’s made. For example, plantains are found in Central and Western Africa, but not in Eastern Africa.You may also find black soap with added essential oils, such as eucalyptus, to promote relaxation. Some African black soap bars contain added oatmeal or aloe vera.How to use African black soapReal, unprocessed African black soap has a rough texture. Although the natural texture is ideal for removing dead skin during exfoliation, you’ll want to smooth it out before using it as a regular cleanser.To do this, simply pull a small chunk of soap off of the bar and rub in between your hands. If you prefer a liquid cleanser, you can dissolve your piece of soap in water before use.You can apply the bar directly to your skin if you’re looking for exfoliation, but be gentle!The rough texture is already an exfoliant in itself, so you don’t have to scrub. You may also consider rubbing the bar on a soft washcloth first for gentle cleansing or use on rashes.With whatever method you choose, make sure that you thoroughly rinse the soap off with lukewarm water after use.Afterward, apply your favorite moisturizer to your damp skin. This will help lock in the soap’s natural hydrating effects.

Directions: Lather with a sponge, loofah, or washcloth.Aroma Depot always recommends that when trying natural products, you test a small area first to ensure you won’t develop an allergic reaction.”RAW LIQUID BLACK SOAP Made in Ghana, Africa with a Blend of Cocoa and Palm Oil Fights eczema, psoriasis and skin conditions. Our Black Soap is 100% Pure and Authentic Guaranteed! Our African Black Soap (unscented) is one of the healthiest soaps due to the combination of natural ingredients used. No chemicals are added to enhance colors, fragrances, or preservatives. Unscented for sensitive skin and hair.African Black Soap may help to reduce scars caused by acne. Acne is not caused by dirt. However, it is a result of excess oils released by the skin. African Black Soap is suited for all skin types. Oily Skin A miracle product for oily and acne-prone skin, African black soap works well for deep pore cleansing as a result of its natural exfoliation qualities. Also, for some oily skin types, it seems to keep the skin hydrated without increasing oil production.No matter how oily your skin is, it would be best if you moisturized afterward with a non-comedogenic oil like Aroma Depot’s Virgin Coconut Oil.Using our 100% natural butters, such as African Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, Mango Butter, or Kokum Butter, will be the perfect moisturizer for your skin after cleaning it with African Black Soap. How does black soap help with acne? This black soap effectively eliminates makeup, although it should not be used to remove eye makeup. Its natural anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties gently cleanse the skin while deeply cleansing.By incorporating ash in your soap, you are naturally exfoliating your skin, clear your pores of excess oil, sebum, and debris without over drying your skin. This is important because drying your skin will lead to more oil and sebum production.The skin is smooth and hydrated with Aroma Depot’s Shea butter or our Coconut Oil. Other black soap brands can be too drying. We use the right combination of natural ingredients to keep your skin soft and smooth while locking in moisture.The good thing about black soap is that it can clear acne while still being gentle enough for all skin types. Our products are enriched with shea butter, which has high levels of anti-inflammatory and skin calming properties.You should also be patient when using black soap, as the results can take a few weeks.As the soap detoxifies the skin, some people may experience a pore-cleansing effect.In the beginning, you may experience breakouts, but eventually, your skin will become soft and glowing. With Aloe, you can relieve acne and irritated skin, and provide moisture to your skin without clogging your pores. Natural Exfoliation Due to its exfoliating properties, African black soap deep cleans without scrubbing. Don’t rub the skin with raw black soap, especially if it is delicate. Before you apply the soap to your face, lather it up in your hands first. Granules of ash and other debris contained in the soap may not dissolve as quickly as they should and could scratch the skin. Can you shower with African black soap? Use African Raw Black Soap to bathe, shower, wash your hands, hair, and face. To achieve best results, use hot water as hot as you are able to tolerate, (optional) with a washcloth or loofah to scrub the area. After washing, apply Aroma Depot’s unrefined shea butter or natural oil as a moisturizer. Reactions to African Black Soap Consult your dermatologist if you develop a rash or dermatitis after using the product. If you are allergic to latex, you may suffer from latex-fruit syndrome and develop a reaction to the plantain ash in black soap, as well as palm and coconut oils. Also, be aware of the possible presence of high levels of cocoa pods, which make the soap ash, if you have a chocolate allergy or are sensitive to caffeine. Before You Toss That Soap The surface of black soap (Bar or Paste) can develop a thin, white film if exposed to air. The film is not a sign of mold. To make it easy to use daily and prevent the white film from developing, you might cut off a piece of the bar or roll it into small balls and store it in a Ziploc bag. When buying soap in bulk or by the pound, cut off a piece of the soap and keep the rest in a cool, dry place. Place the soap in a plastic bag and wrap it in a Ziploc bag to keep it fresh.USE ANY NATURAL AROMA DEPOT MOISTURIZERS AFTER USING OUR AFRICAN BLACK SOAP.

What is African Black Soap African black soap, or black soap (also known by various local names such as sabulun salo, ose dudu and ncha nkota), is a kind of soap originating in West Africa. It is made from the ash of locally harvested African plants and dried peels, which gives the soap its characteristic dark color.Plant matter, such as plantain skins, palm tree leaves, cocoa pods and shea tree bark, is first sun-dried and then burned to produce ash (which supplies the alkali required to convert or saponify the oils and fats). Next, water and various oils and fats, such as coconut oil, palm oil, and shea butter, are added to the ash. The mixture is cooked and hand-stirred for at least 24 hours. After the soap solidifies, it is scooped out and set out to cure.Black Soap can be a bit strong for those with sensitive skin.
