As the name suggests, the African Black soap, as it is called in most European and American countries, originates from West Africa, particularly Ghana, where the women in that society made and used this soap to cleanse their skin and hair. Locally, the soap is known as alata simena, anago soap, ose dudu and sabulun salo.

How is African Black soap made?
First, plant matter is gathered, then it is sun-dried and then it is roasted at a consistent temperature until it becomes ash. This is how it gets its deep and dark color. This ash is then added to water and a mixture of palm oil, coconut oil, Shea butter and any other fats needed.
This mixture is then heated and stirred by hand for at least a day. When it begins to solidify, it is removed and left to â??cureâ?? for about a fortnight. The soaps made traditionally are generally purer as compared to those sold in American or European countries as they may have additional ingredients.
How to use African Black Soap
The soap has a sort of rough texture accompanied by an earthy scent which is pleasant. Being unprocessed, you will have to cut the soap into smaller pieces according to your own liking. As it is raw, it may contain pieces of vegetation which can easily be pulled out to avoid being cut while using it. To use it properly, create lather on your hands before rubbing it on your skin.
