Black Soap (Alata Samina), Liquid or Solid Bar

For centuries, Africans have used Black Soap to help relieve oily skin, clear blemishes, pimples, mild rashes and various other skin issues. Black soap has also been used to achieve beautiful skin by the Africans. Africans have also used this natural soap for bathing and washing their hair. As a natural and pure soap, it does not add additives to your hair and scalp, thus giving a clean hair wash.Today people from all walks of life are benefiting from this amazing soap, including models in Europe and USA. many companies in US and Europe have come up with their own “blends” of black soap to cash in on its popularity.

Unlike those commercial “blends”, our Black Soap is direct from the source in West Africa and not hardened by additives, chemicals or powders, thus it is soft, pliable and melts easily in water.

We only buy fair trade African soap produced by women's cooperatives in Africa. These women own and operate the cooperatives themselves.  Most commercial companies buy in bulk but at cut-rate prices from poor villagers. This reduces their income while profiting the large corporations. Please check for Fair Trade assurance when purchasing products from Africa and South America.
