African Black Soap is called "Alata" or "Anago" in West Africa. It is an important part of purification rituals and rites of passage there. Black Soap is an ancient product that is used and treasured in homes throughout Africa. Traditional Black Soap provides an conomic base for African women in Ghana, Nigeria, and other regions of Africa. As the exact recipe varies from region to region, so does the color and consistency of the soap. African Black Soap has a mild, clean, natural smell.

Black soap is very moisturizing, has a rich and creamy lather, yet it is not oily. With proper care, your soap will last and last. Our authentic African black soap is made in Ghana from pure virgin oils following both fair trade and organic guidelines. The ingredients of our African black soap are virgin palm kernel oil, unrefined shea butter and lye produced from the ashes of plantain leaves and bark from a local tree called 'Agow'.

The high percentage of shea butter is one of the unique features of the soap we offer. In addition, there are no chemicals, preservatives, color enhancers, or fragrances added. It only takes a small amount to produce mounds of rich creamy lather - a little goes a long way! Do not be duped by the many knock-off soaps that are called AFB. Make sure that you're buying authentic, FAIR TRADED AFB from Africa. Anything else is just a shea butter soap.
