Pure, Raw African Black Soap
  • Just how does this soap contribute to skincare? Does it help to aid skin problems as efficiently as people claim? Is it worth all that ranting and raving about?
  • They say it has a lot of shea butter.  I've read a lot of raves too, but I didn't try this.  I've also read a lot of review saying this dried their skin a lot.  I'd just stick to other soaps coz this is expensive to import and try in my country.
  • I actually make soap and have made black soap before. Traditionally, it's not even a soap. It's made with either cocoa pods and/or plantain skins along with high amounts of unrefined shea butter, cocoa butter and palm oil. Some people in the US import it and then incorporate it into a soap recipe, but traditional black soap is not actually "soap." 

    It's not very pricey, and many people swear by it! Personally, I think it's the unrefined shea butter that has a lot of skin benefits.
