Description African Black Soap contains shea butter and palm oil for luxurious, deep cleansing, and moisturizing. It is called "Black Soap" because of the extensive cooking of the soap to the point of charcoal. Many cultures in West Africa use charcoal to detoxify and purify the skin. No chemical preservatives, color enhancers, or synthetic fragrances are used. Jamaican Castor Oil, Castor Oil, or Wonder Oil as it is known in the Netherlands comes from the seed of the plant, found in Kerala, India, and extracted in a cold press method, leaving the active enzymes still living and far more able to effectively heal and treat infections. The secret to good castor oil is its rich ricinoleic acid, containing highly effective, immune-specific, and anti-infective fatty acids. Skin Concern Our African Liquid Black Soap with Jamaican Castor Oil is formulated to address various skin concerns, including acne, blemishes, and dryness while promoting healthier-looking skin.
