This fabulous
African Black Soap (ABS) came directly from Ghana. The recipe is rich and powerful. If you haven't seen ABS before, it's a little crumbly in
nature and it's softer than our handcrafted soap. It isn't what most would consider "pretty" but its incredible
skin benefits far outweigh any aesthetic challenges. Ours is totally handcrafted, NOT mass produced.
African
Black Soap comes from plantain skins originally. Plantain is a rich source of
vitamins A & E and iron. (Plantain is a
popular food in Africa & other parts of the world. It looks much like a banana,
but it's bigger and longer.) The skin of
the plantain is dried to a specific texture under the hot African sun and then
roasted in a clay oven. The heat must be kept precisely at a constant
temperature in order to achieve a particular color, texture & smell. The
roasting of the plantains determines the color of the soap. The longer the
plantains are roasted, the darker the soap.
Next, the
roasted skins of the Plantain are mixed with Palm oil and Palm Kernel oil to
form the soap. These oils are in their purest form - without refining - and they
make for a HIGHLY nourishing soap! African Black Soap is centuries old,
has numerous benefits & is not scented. Tribes make their own variations, as do
separate Countries and their recipes are highly guarded.
For
centuries, Ghanaians have used Black Soap to help relieve acne, oily skin,
clear blemishes and various other skin issues. Many swear by it for skin
irritations and conditions such as Eczema and Psoriasis as well. African Black soap has also been
used to achieve beautiful skin. Africans have also used this natural soap for
bathing and washing their hair. It's excellent for removing make-up too!
