If you believe in the old adage ‘well begun is half done’, start your skincare ritual with a few drops of this magical potion.
African Black Soap is made entirely by hand, by women in West Africa using recipes that have been handed down for generations. This everyday cleanser is loaded with incredible antibacterial properties derived from phytochemicals and oils in plants. It is saponified using sun dried plant ash, and no chemical alkali, as is usually done in making soap. The Vitamin E in the emollients hydrates your skin while exfoliating it, whereas the healing herbs minimise sun damage and hyperpigmentation caused by excessive exposure to UV rays.
We strongly recommend this potion as an alternative to facewashes with Sulfates or other Surfactants. Harsh sulfates like sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) or sodium laureth sulfate (SLES) can strip the skin of its natural oils and cause dry, oily or irritated skin over time. African Black Soap fortified with Orange, Lavender, Rosewood oils, on the other hand, are known to strengthen the skin barrier over time.
Something you should know - the Cocoa pod and other plant ash content is reduced in winters to suit all skin types. Hence, the colour of your Mesmerising African Black Face Cleanser may vary slightly as per season – from black to dark brown to light brown, depending on the ash content.
