Handcrafted by women in Ghana using age-old techniques passed down through generations. Centuries of practice has taught them how to extract every bit of goodness from the shea nut, and that quality is now passed on in every package of shea butter and all the products made from it.
Haven't had the chance to try this out yet but am looking forward to trying some recipes on the website using the Black Soap Crumbs.
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.
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.
