African Black Soap
African Black Soap
Most cleansers strip your skin, then your skin fights back. More oil, more breakouts, repeat. This soap breaks that cycle.
Made the traditional way with plant ash and natural oils, African black soap has been used across West Africa for generations to cleanse and care for the skin. Nothing synthetic. Nothing harsh. Just soap made the way it has always been made.
What it does:
- Cleanses deeply without stripping your skin's natural moisture
- Suits oily and acne-prone skin
- Gently exfoliates for smoother, clearer skin over time
- Suitable for face and body
- One large bar. Cut it into smaller pieces and it lasts for weeks
Our African black soap is traditionally made using plant ash and natural oils — the same method used across West Africa for generations. Key ingredients include plantain peel ash and cocoa pod ash, which give the soap its distinctive colour and natural cleansing properties.
No synthetic additives, no harsh chemicals, and nothing artificial. Just traditional soap made the way it has always been made.
On face:
Wet your face and work the soap into a lather using your hands or a face cloth. Apply gently in circular motions, rinse thoroughly, and follow with your preferred moisturiser.
On body:
Work up a rich lather and apply to damp skin. Rinse thoroughly.
Caring for your soap:
Keep your soap dry between uses to extend its life. Avoid leaving it sitting in water.

African black soap is naturally gentle but we recommend patch testing first if you have sensitive or reactive skin. Apply to a small area and wait 24 hours before full use. If you experience any irritation, discontinue use.
Yes. African black soap is suitable for both face and body. It is particularly effective for oily and acne-prone skin as it deeply cleanses without harsh chemicals.
Traditional African black soap is gentler than most commercial soaps. However if you have very dry skin we recommend following up with a moisturiser such as our raw shea butter or ADUN Body Butter after use.
The cleansing set includes the soap bar along with a bamboo soap dish and African net sponge — everything you need for a complete cleansing routine. This listing is for the soap bar on its own.
