Product Info:

African Black Soap is a traditional, handcrafted soap originating from West Africa, known for its deep-cleansing, purifying, and skin-nourishing properties. It is rich in natural antioxidants, vitamins A & E, and essential fatty acids, making it suitable for acne-prone, oily, and combination skin types. This soap helps to cleanse the skin without stripping moisture, promoting an even skin tone while soothing irritation and blemishes.

Formulation Guidelines:

• Can be used directly as a cleansing bar
• Can be melted and incorporated into liquid soap formulations
• Ideal for face washes, body cleansers, and scalp treatments
• Best combined with humectants (e.g., glycerin, honey) to balance its cleansing effects
