African Black Soap Information
How
we make our African Black Soap
Our African Black Soap is made with virgin palm kernel
oil, residues from making our unrefined shea butter, and plantain
leaf ashes. The shea butter residue adds the base necessary to saponify
the virgin palm kernel oil. All of our ingredients are simple and
natural. The soap-making process is highly sophisticated, and requires
hand-stirring for at least a day. After the soap has crystallized,
it is allowed to cure for two weeks.
Uses
of our African Black Soap
Our African
Black Soap is an excellent all purpose soap. We recommend it especially
for individuals with sensitive skin. In Togo it is known for making
smooth skin, and is also used to treate skin irritations, acne,
and other skin conditions. Our black soap can be formed into bars
or balls with pressure. As soon as you begin using the soap, the
contact with water will make it keep its shape. Also, you can make
a liquid soap by filling a container loosely with the black soap
and adding water to fill. The soap pieces will dissolve into the
water and form a versatile liquid soap. Finally, athough the odor
of our African black soap is very mild and pleasant, you can add
essential oils to create your own fragrances.
