African Black Soap is traditionally made from the ashes of locally harvested plants, such as plaintain skins and leaves, cocoa pods, and shea tree bark that have been sun-dried and roasted. Each of our 5-6 oz. brown bars is handmade at our headquarters in Michigan and organically sourced with a glycerin soap base, a mix of fragrance, essential oils, and organic mica powder pigment. When you buy spa products created by an at-risk or rescued woman here in the U.S., your purchase contributes to her healing, empowerment, and a hopeful, sustainable future.
