Plant Guru African Black Soap Paste 8 oz — Handmade Ghanaian Cleanser for Face, Body & Hair, Sulfate-Free

Plant Guru African Black Soap Paste 8 oz is a traditional, handmade Ghanaian cleanser made from natural oils and plant ashes to gently cleanse face, body, and hair.

Made in Ghana using methods passed down through generations, this concentrated paste blends extra virgin coconut oil, unrefined palm kernel oil, raw cocoa pods, plantain skin ashes and shea butter. The dense, multi-use formula can be used as a face wash, body cleanser, or scalp treatment; it rinses easily and lathers into a rich, earthy foam without synthetic fragrances or harsh detergents.

How does this African black soap work for daily cleansing?

The paste dissolves with water to create a cleansing lather that removes dirt, oil, and surface buildup while leaving skin feeling refreshed. It’s suitable for routine use when diluted or used sparingly on sensitive areas.

• Concentrated paste: dilute a small amount to control strength.
• Natural lather: creates a gentle foam without sulfates.
• Versatile: suitable for face and full-body washing.
• No synthetic fragrance: relies on natural ingredient scents.

Can I use it on hair and scalp, and how should I apply it?

Yes — the paste can be worked into a lather and massaged into the scalp to help remove product residue and flakes. Follow with a conditioner or oil if your hair needs extra moisture after rinsing.

• Scalp cleanser: massage lather onto wet scalp, then rinse thoroughly.
• Shampoo alternative: use sparingly for normal to oily hair types.
• Follow-up care: apply conditioner or hair oil for added softness.
• Patch test first: try a small area to check hair and scalp response.

What ingredients are inside and why are they included?

This paste uses traditional, minimally processed ingredients sourced from plant materials. Each component contributes cleansing, moisturizing, or skin-conditioning properties in a simple, recognizable formula.

• Extra virgin coconut oil: supports cleansing and contributes to lather.
• Unrefined palm kernel oil & raw cocoa pods: add richness and texture.
• Plantain skin ashes: a traditional alkaline element that helps form soap.
• Unrefined shea butter & natural vitamin E: help soften and condition skin.

How should I store and use this paste safely?

Keep the jar sealed and stored in a cool, dry place to preserve texture and scent. Because this is a concentrated natural product, a little goes a long way — start with a pea-sized amount and adjust to preference.

• Storage: reseal jar and avoid direct sunlight.
• Application: use with sponge, loofah, washcloth, or hands.
• Dosage: dilute or use sparingly on sensitive skin areas.
• Patch test: try behind ear or inner arm before full-face use.
