Experience the tradition of authentic African black soap with a modern skincare touch.
Handcrafted in Nigeria, our Authentic African Black Soap is a richly textured cleansing bar inspired by traditional West African soapmaking. Each bar has its naturally rustic appearance and earthy character, making every piece uniquely its own.
Formulated with a blend of shea nut butter, coconut oil, sugarcane-derived squalane, and cocoa pod ash, this cleansing bar combines traditional African ingredients with skin-conditioning oils to cleanse without leaving skin feeling unnecessarily dry or tight.
Why You'll Love It
🧼 Deep, refreshing cleanse
Cocoa pod ash is traditionally used in African black soap and contributes to the bar's characteristic deep color and cleansing properties.
🌰 Shea Nut Butter
Rich in fatty acids and skin-conditioning components, shea butter helps leave skin feeling soft, nourished, and comfortable after cleansing.
🥥 Coconut Oil
A classic cleansing oil that helps create a satisfying lather while contributing to the skin-conditioning feel of the bar.
🌱 Sugarcane-Derived Squalane
A lightweight emollient derived from sugarcane that helps support the skin's moisture barrier and leaves skin feeling smooth, soft, and supple without a heavy, greasy finish.
🖤 Cocoa Pod Ash
A traditional African black soap ingredient that gives the soap its distinctive appearance and contributes to its cleansing experience.

Authentic Nigerian Craftsmanship
Our black soap celebrates the heritage of traditional African soapmaking while incorporating modern skin-conditioning ingredients. Its rich color, rustic texture, natural variations, and earthy appearance are part of what makes authentic black soap unique.
No two bars look exactly alike—and that's the beauty of traditionally crafted soap.
How to Use
Wet skin and soap. Work the bar between your hands or onto a washcloth/net sponge to create a rich lather. Massage gently over skin, then rinse thoroughly. Follow with your favorite HNB moisturizer or body oil.
For facial use, start 2–3 times weekly and adjust according to your skin's tolerance.
Pro tip: Because this is a substantial, handmade bar, allow it to dry between uses to help extend its life. Or cut soaps into cubes and save in a container while picking the exact quantity for each use..
Since this soap is handmade and hand molded, sizes may vary between 9.2oz to 9.5oz
