Plant Guru Raw African Black Soap 8 oz Bar - Handmade from Ghana, Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser for Face, Body & Scalp

Plant Guru Raw African Black Soap is an 8 oz handmade bar from Ghana made with traditional, all‑natural ingredients to cleanse and gently exfoliate face, body, and scalp.

Crafted by hand in Ghana using a recipe passed through generations, this raw African black soap blends unrefined shea butter, plantain skin ashes, raw cocoa pods, extra virgin coconut oil, and palm kernel oil to deliver a multi‑use, natural cleansing bar. It’s formulated without synthetic fragrances or harsh detergents and is imported for those seeking a simple, plant‑based approach to daily cleansing and scalp care.

How does this soap clean my skin without stripping moisture?

The combination of unrefined shea butter and extra virgin coconut oil creates a gentle cleansing action while maintaining skin lipids. Plantain ash contributes natural alkalinity and mild exfoliation that helps remove dirt and dead skin, so the skin feels clean but not tight.

• Shea butter locks in moisture during and after cleansing
• Coconut oil provides gentle, effective lather
• Plantain ashes offer natural exfoliating action
• No synthetic detergents or harsh sulfates included

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

Yes — this soap serves as a clarifying scalp cleanser. Lather the bar in your hands or on a sponge, then massage the foam into wet hair and scalp, focusing on areas with buildup. Rinse thoroughly; follow with conditioner or a light oil if your hair is dry.

• Lather first with a washcloth or sponge to control application
• Massage foam into scalp to remove oils and flakes
• Rinse well to avoid residue; condition as needed
• Suitable for occasional clarifying or regular use depending on hair type

What ingredients are inside and why were they chosen?

The bar is made from simple, recognizable raw ingredients chosen for their traditional use and natural benefits. Ingredients like raw cocoa pods and natural vitamin E support antioxidant presence, while palm kernel oil and coconut oil create cleansing and lathering properties.

• Extra virgin coconut oil — gentle lathering and cleansing
• Unrefined palm kernel oil — builds solid bar and foam
• Plantain skin ashes — natural cleansing and light exfoliation
• Unrefined shea butter and vitamin E — conditioning and smoothing

How should I store and use the bar to make it last?

Keep the soap on a well‑draining dish or soap saver between uses so it dries completely; this preserves the texture and prevents softening. Use a sponge or washcloth to lather rather than rubbing the bar directly on the skin to extend its life and control dosage.

• Store on a slotted soap dish to air‑dry
• Cut into pieces for travel or occasional use
• Avoid prolonged water exposure when not in use
• Follow directions: lather before applying to skin
