Natural Nigerian Black Soaps

Black Soap (called Ncha Nkota in Igbo or Ose dudu in Yoruba) is a popular West African cleanser made by cooking plant oils like Shea Butter and/or Palm Kernel Oil. This oil/butter is cooked with ash made from burning plant materials such as cocoa pods or plantain skins. The results - which vary from artisan to artisan and even region to region within a country - is a brown-black, crumbly soap that is a superior cleanser. 

Natural Nigerian Black Soap base comes from a very small scale woman owned factory in Southern Nigeria. They use traditional methods of manufacture passed down many generations.
