African Black Soap—The OG Skin Fixer?

TL;DR:

African Black Soap has been used for centuries to treat acne, eczema, psoriasis, and dry skin—and we took it a step further by turning it into a salt bar for exfoliation, detox, and hydration. It’s the perfect blend of tradition and modern skincare.

Key takeaway? Whether you need deep cleansing or gentle exfoliation, this bar delivers skin-loving benefits—without the fluff. Read on for details!

What Is African Black Soap?

Before “clean beauty” was a trend, African Black Soap was already doing it all. 🌿 Originating from West Africa, it’s made from plantain skins, cocoa pod ash, and shea butter—ingredients rich in vitamins and antioxidants.

Why people love it:

• Clears acne without drying.
• Soothes eczema and psoriasis.
• Exfoliates gently, leaving skin smooth and refreshed.
• Fights inflammation while calming irritation.

No harsh chemicals. No fillers. Just generations of skincare wisdom packed into one bar.

So Why Turn It Into a Salt Bar?

We took everything people love about African Black Soap and gave it an upgrade—adding sea salt and coconut milk for extra cleansing, exfoliation, and hydration.

What’s inside the remix?

• African Black Soap—Cleanses, calms, and balances oils.
• Sea Salt—Gently exfoliates, detoxes, and smooths rough skin.
• Coconut Milk—Softens and hydrates for that just-moisturized feel.

Think of it as a 2-in-1 bar—cleanser and exfoliator—perfect for skin that needs clarity without losing moisture.

Benefits of the Salt Bar Remix

This bar isn’t here to play—it’s here to work.

• Deep Cleansing: Washes away dirt and oil without stripping your skin.
• Exfoliation That Works: Buffs away dead skin, leaving you smooth—not scratched up.
• Hydration Boost: Coconut milk locks in moisture so you’re left glowing, not dry.
• Multitasking Vibes: Great for body acne, rough patches, and dull skin.

And let’s be honest—there’s something satisfying about a soap that scrubs and softens all at once.

How to Use It (and Get the Most Out of It):

1. Lather Up. Wet the bar and work it into a rich lather—no scrubbing necessary.
2. Focus on Rough Spots. Use it anywhere that needs exfoliating—arms, legs, back, or even feet.
3. Rinse and Repeat. Follow with a hydrating body oil or lotion to keep skin soft.
