All our
washes are SLS, preservative, perfume and chemical free and safe to use even on babies
and children. They contain only natural butters, pure essential oils and
surfactants made from olive, coconut and pure palm oils. Colors in the soaps
are derived from natural origins only (i.e. clays, herbs, flowers). All our soaps are imported from Australia, Africa and USA. Plus, we try to purchase all our
soaps from Fair Trade and Phyto-Trade sources to support developing
economies. Unlike premium stores, we aren’t doing this just for profit
(although we are a very small company).
The soaps are large and we charge you less than the “premium” shops do for the
same quality, so if you buy one to sample, you can cut it up and share with family
and friends.
Olive
& Goat Milk Soaps
Our olive
oil, kigelia and goats' milk soaps are 100% natural and smell great. They
can be used on your face and body, and even on babies. Our Olive soaps are
large bars of 80 - 120 gms that are real value for money. Sorry, but we can't
give sample for this soap.
African Black Soap (Alata Samina)
Note: true black soap is not Black in colour - it's a dark brown/light brown mix, and is soft almost like dough. If it's really black and hard, it's fake and has artificial colourants and hardeners added to it. These soaps will harm your skin & hair, so beware of fake black soap.
You can use Alata on your body, face, and
hair. Alata is reputed to help relieve rashes, scalp irritations, oily skin,
dry skin, acne, blemishes and other skin problems. It is deep cleansing, leaving
the skin fresh and healthy, thus minimizing body odours without the use of
artificial perfumes. As it does not contain harsh chemicals, additives
and preservatives, it doesn't dehydrate the skin. Samples of solid soap
available for trying.
Comments
from customers:
Ms
Patsy Chan, Telok Blangah Crescent, Singapore : "I had hair loss
after giving birth, and I tried many brands and types of shampoos. However,
after using Alata for only a few days, my hair fall is much less. I will
re-order and keep using this soap".
Mr
Yahya Khan, Goodman Road, Singapore: "I had sun spots and
very dry skin on my shoulders from jet skiing and outdoor activities. I tried
many expensive soaps - didn't work. After using Yasmins special blend liquid
Alata soap, my sun spots are disappearing, and dry skin is all gone! Also
helped to heal blemishes on my cheeks. Great soap!. Will definitely keep using
it".
Please
purchase African Black Soap from a fair trade organization. Fair trade
ensures that the women making the soap are paid at a fair rate and are provided
with vacation, sick and family leave, and in some co-operatives,
a pension plan. Learn more about fair trade - Fair Trade Federation.
Please also check that the soap is imported from a western African source and
not made in the United States or Europe. Soaps from US and European
countries are largely mass produced and are not true African Black Soap and
probably have artificial ingredients/colors added to give the dark
coloring. These ingredients will harm your skin. You can purchase our Fair Trade African Black Soap in solid blocks or bottled liquid
from us.
NOTE: Clay & DMAE Cleanser has been upgraded to Green C Cleanser, which also contains Green Clay plus Vitamin C. DMAE can be added on request.
