Our Earth's Secrets Natural Raw African Black Soap — 2 lb unrefined Ghanaian block, gentle cleanser

Our Earth's Secrets Natural Raw African Black Soap is an unrefined, traditional Ghanaian bar crafted from plant-based oils, cocoa pod husks, plantain ash, and unrefined shea for gentle cleansing across hair and body.

Made in Ghana using time-honored methods, this 2-pound raw African black soap blends palm kennel oil, coconut oil, stearin, cocoa pod husk, unrefined shea butter, plantain skin ash, natural vitamin E, sodium, and water. The soap arrives in an unrefined, grainy form that preserves natural plant particles and nutrients, so it is intended to be lathered in the hands or on a washcloth before applying to skin or hair rather than rubbed directly on delicate facial skin.

What makes this raw African black soap different from regular soap?

This soap is unrefined and uses traditional Ghanaian ingredients and techniques, leaving visible plant particles and a deeper, earthier color. It contains unprocessed shea butter and cocoa pod husks rather than synthetic fragrances or additives.

• Handmade using a traditional recipe from Ghana
• Unrefined ingredients preserve natural textures
• No artificial fragrance — natural scent only
• Large 2 lb block suitable for multiple uses

How should I use this raw soap safely on face, body, and hair?

Because the soap is raw and may contain small plant particles, do not rub the block directly on sensitive facial skin. Instead, work the soap into a lather in your hands, on a washcloth, or in a bowl before applying. Rinse thoroughly and follow with moisturizer as needed.

• Lather in palms or on a washcloth before applying
• Avoid direct rubbing on delicate or irritated skin
• Can be used as a body wash, hair cleanser, or hand soap
• Rinse well and pat skin dry after use

What are the key ingredients and why are they included?

Ingredients are plant-based and chosen for their traditional cleansing, moisturizing, and nutrient-supporting roles. Unrefined shea butter provides natural fats, while plantain ash and cocoa pod husks contribute texture and traditional alkalinity used in African soap-making.

• Palm kennel and coconut oils for cleansing and lather
• Unrefined shea butter to help retain skin moisture
• Plantain skin ash and cocoa pod husk provide traditional texture
• Natural vitamin E and sodium included for stability

How much product do I get and how long will it last?

The product is sold as a single 2-pound (1814 g) raw block. Because it’s uncut and concentrated, a little lather goes a long way—cutting the block into smaller pieces can extend longevity and make it easier to use.

• Single 2 lb (1814 g) raw soap block
• Cut into portions for travel and controlled use
• Store in a dry, ventilated place between uses
• Expect many weeks to months of use depending on frequency

Who is this for? This raw African black soap suits shoppers who prefer traditional, plant-based cleansing products without synthetic fragrances and who don’t mind a naturally textured soap. It’s a good choice for people who want a large, economical block for body, hair, or hands and who will lather the product rather than apply the raw bar directly to sensitive skin. If you have very sensitive or compromised skin, test a small lathered patch first and discontinue use if irritation occurs.
