This is the original AshantiNaturals Black Soap. A simple addition of Tea Tree Essential Oil replaces the original earthy aroma with a warm and cozy Tea Tree smell. A Tea Tree Essential Oil is natural product and does not include any artificial chemicals. This Black Soap has all the same benefits as the Fragrance Free. What is Black Soap? Black soap goes by a number of different names including African black soap, Anago Soap, Alata Simena, Ose Dudu, Duchi, Alata Soap, and Anago Samina. Traditionally, black soap is made by ash from the leaves and bark of local plants. Shea tree bark, plantain, palm leaves, and cocoa pods are sun dried, then put in a kettle to be roasted.
