Shea Terra Organics African Black Soap Powder | Natural Skin Care

Thousands of years ago, humans discovered that soap could be made with plant ash and oil. In particular, African Black Soap is made from roasting plantain peels, cacao pods, palm kernels, and camwood in clay ovens, resulting in a black ash that can be used as soap with a multitude of benefits. From ridding cystic acne to making skin look years younger, this organic black powder is the true African Black Soap that helps produce radiant and healthy skin without the use of harsh chemicals. Unlike activated charcoal that requires the addition of lye to turn into soap, African Black Soap is raw and unadulterated.

Today, authentic African black soap is known as the most powerful all-natural, anti-aging cleanser available on the market. Black soap breaks down layers of dead skin to unveil smooth, rejuvenated youthful skin beneath. Discover smooth, acne and blemish-free skin through this 100 percent Pure Raw African Black Soap. Shea Terra's founder, Tammie Umbel, has been exploring remote villages throughout Africa for the rarest, power-packed ingredients on the planet since 2000, working with indigenous tribes to discover these potent ancestral plants and minerals and offering these Superhero Ingredients through their concentrated formulas.

African Black Soap is probably one of the most crucial products for healthy skin, using recipes handed down for hundreds of years by women in remote West African villages. This no-lye soap breaks down dead skin as it banishes blemishes, often working better than chemicals yet soothing to the skin. Shea Terra has been on a quest for natural beauty wisdom throughout Africa, exploring remote villages, trekking through miles of desert on camel back, and sailing into the depths of Nubia, tapping into a wealth of indigenous knowledge and sharing these remote beauty secrets with the world.

The distinct black color of African Black Soap is due to the tradition of the Yoruba tribe of Nigeria, believed to have migrated from Egypt and having significant knowledge of herbal medicine. Plantain peels, cocoa pods, camwood, and palm kernels are roasted together in clay ovens, with the ashes of the pods and peels acting as the potash, giving African black soap its signature black color, and the oil-rich kernels exuding their oil through the roasting process. Shea Terra's African Black Soap products are produced in remote African villages by women who have passed down the secret of natural black soap making for centuries.

Shea Terra Organics has been working with cooperatives and conservation groups since early 2000 to source natural, organic ingredients in a sustainable and ethical way, creating economic opportunities and preserving wildlife. They share these indigenous, time-tested healing ingredients through their breadth of product lines, which include facial care, body treatments, hair herbals, and maternity & newborn remedies.
