African Black Soap

Eclectic Lady offers organic, fairly traded African Black Soap made in West Africa from pure virgin oils. 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 tree local to West Africa called Agow. Our African Black Soap is unique because it contains a high percentage of shea butter (48%). Also, there are no preservatives, color enhancers, or fragrances added. Learn more about how African Black Soap is made.

African Black soap has a very distinct, naturally occuring fragrance. This is due to the process the African women use when they make the soap. Various leaves are burned and added into the soap and the shea butter has been made over a wood fire giving the soap a smoky, nutty fragrance.

African Black soap is very high in glycerin and quickly absorbs moisture from the air. African Black soap needs to be stored in an air tight container or sealed plastic bag otherwise it develops a white film on the surface. This isn't mold and your African Black soap is fine to use. To avoid this, keep your African Black soap away from moisture until you are ready to use it.
