Plantain Black Soap

🍌 Plantain & Black Soap Hybrid: Inspired by Tradition

Black soap has long been celebrated for its natural ingredients, and it’s no surprise that the very elements that make traditional African Black Soap so powerful—plantain skin ashes and cocoa pod ashes—inspired the creation of our 5.3oz Plantain Black Soap. We’ve combined these traditional ingredients with real plantain puree, cocoa butter, and cocoa powder, to bring you a luxurious bar that honors African skincare traditions while delivering a new take on this skincare staple.

By blending the exfoliating power of plantain skin ashes and cocoa pod ashes with the nourishing richness of cocoa butter and plantain puree, this soap deeply moisturizes, cleanses, hydrates, and rejuvenates your skin, all while creating a rich, indulgent, BUBBLY lather. 🛁

🍌Real Plantain Puree
Packed with vitamins A and C, plantain puree helps to deeply moisturize and soothe dry or irritated skin, while its natural sugars create a rich lather for a luxurious cleansing experience. Perfect for all skin types, especially dry or sensitive skin.

🫧Natural Exfoliation & Cleansing
The combination of plantain skin ashes and cocoa pod ashes offers natural exfoliation, gently removing dead skin cells while maintaining your skin’s moisture. It’s especially beneficial for balancing oily skin and reducing blemishes.

🍫 Cocoa Butter & Antioxidant-Rich Cocoa Powder
Cocoa butter provides intense hydration and helps improve skin elasticity, while cocoa powder delivers powerful antioxidants that fight free radicals and slow signs of aging, giving you glowing, radiant skin.

🛡️ Strengthened Skin Barrier & Healing
Infused with EXTRA Shea Butter, Moringa Seed Oil, and Aloe Vera Powder, this soap boosts your skin’s natural barrier, helping it retain moisture while protecting it from environmental stressors.

💡 Fun Fact: Did You Know?

The term “superfat” refers to the extra oils and butters that haven’t turned into soap during the saponification process. These extra oils float within the bar, providing an extra boost of nourishment. Our Plantain & Cocoa Black Soap Hybrid has a hefty superfat, from the Cocoa Butter, ensuring your skin is not only cleansed but bathed in moisturizing goodness with every wash!
