From sensitive to oily skin, African black soap is your go-to! It can also aid with anti-aging as it locks in your skin's moisture.

GREAT ADDITION FOR SCALP CARE

Not only is African black soap good for your skin, but it's also good for your scalp! It deeply cleanses your scalp which is important for healthy and new hair growth.

HOW TO USE

African black soap can be used in many ways - in liquid form, as a paste or a soap re-batch.

    Works for Clothes too

    We have Baraka Black Soap in our shower and basin and love it. The collar on my red winter coat was so grimy that plain laundry wouldn't touch it. My wife rubbed Baraka Black Soap all over the collar and then washed it. Came absolutely clean.

    Massage Soap Bar with African Black Soap Crumble

    I love the crumble bar. I used it in a soap mold for my massage soap bar. I will definitely be purchasing the crumble again. I find that it is easier to cut the bar into very small pieces melt it down a bit then add to your soap recipe.
