My Fountain of Youth African Black Soap

African natural black soap is one of my favorite natural resources.  African Black soap contains more benefits for healthy skin than you can imagine. African Black Soap has been used for generations as a natural remedy for acne, eczema, oily skin and more.


All natural African black soap is made from dried plantain skins, palm leaves, coconut oil, cocoa pod powder, and kernel oil and butters these ingredients makes an all-natural cleansing soap. Plantains skins are largely what make this black soap so effective. It is a natural source of vitamins A & E and iron. When black soap is made, the skin of the plantain is dried under the sun and then roasted in a clay oven. The heat must be constant in order to achieve the perfect brownish black color, texture & smell. Afterwards, cocoa pod powder is added. Cocoa pod is the shell of the cocoa fruit and also has natural healing properties.
