African black soap · Handmade in Ghana

South Africa · Kenya · United States

Skin.You.Love.

Gentle. Natural. You. A short list of honest African ingredients, made by hand in Ghana for every skin type.

The philosophy

Black soap has been made the same way for centuries, since the Yoruba people of West Africa first folded cocoa pod ash into shea and oil. We did not improve it. We simply refused to take anything out.

No artificial fragrances

Our soap and body butters are crafted with only essential oils and plant-based extracts.

100% natural

We meticulously source natural and organic ingredients to create a premium experience for your skin.

No harsh chemicals

Gentle on skin. Absolutely no parabens, no sulphates, no artificial colours. Cruelty free.

Raw Body Butters

Four ingredients do the work.

No fillers, no fragrance tricks, nothing tested on animals. Just what the land already knew how to do.

i.

Raw shea

Unrefined butter from shea nuts handpicked in northern Ghana. Softens, seals in moisture and calms dry patches.

ii.

Cocoa pod ash

Sun-dried pods, burned to ash. The traditional cleansing power of true black soap.

iii.

Palm kernel oil

Unrefined and rich in fatty acids. Builds a creamy lather that cleans without stripping.

iv.

Coconut oil

Light and quick to absorb, from Ghana's Central region. Gives the body wash its silky finish.
