Nigerian Black Soap Powder

African Black soap is originally an all natural soap produced in different countries in West Africa. Exact recipes depend on where the soap originated from but most include palm kernel oil, and the filtrate of burnt cocoa pod ash or roasted plantain skin ash. Other additions can include aloe vera, honey, shea butter, lime or camwood.
African black soap is made without adding lye, which makes the texture soft and lends a more moisturising quality. Its also unscented, making it suitable for most skin types
