Black soap, often referred to as African black soap, is a traditional soap made from the ashes of locally harvested plants, such as cocoa pods, plantain skins, and palm tree leaves, combined with oils like shea butter or coconut oil. Renowned for its natural cleansing properties, it’s believed to be effective for various skin issues, including acne and uneven skin tone, due to its rich antioxidant and nutrient content. Its gentle, exfoliating nature makes it popular for both face and body use, appealing to those seeking natural skincare solutions.
