Excerpt
With the popularity of shea butter comes a natural soap that may contain a lot of this splendid ingredient: African black soap. Unlike soap made with activated charcoal, this soap doesn’t have a uniform color and a smooth and shiny texture.
What resembles double chocolate chip cookie dough in the above photo, is actually two different types of African black soap. On the left is a creamier textured version. According to the company, Agbanga Karite: “We make our black soap in small batches following the traditional recipe of central Togo. We use at least 45% unrefined shea butter and the rest is virgin palm kernel oil. The potash that we use comes from ashes of plantain leaves, shea butter residues and bark from a local tree called Agow. Note that the bark is harvested in a way that does not harm the tree.”
The African black soap on the right is a more crumbly type that is made with only five ingredients: water, shea butter, coconut oil, palm oil, and cocoa pod ash. Like natural cold processed soap, African black soap is made with ash [alkali] plus fats like shea butter, coconut oil and palm oil. Some soap is harder and can be grated, others, like the examples seen above, can be either firm or soft.
