Authentic African Black Soap Triple Milled - Unscented
Alaffia's Authentic African Black Soap Triple Milled bar carries a centuries-old Togolese tradition into a modern, no-shortcut formula. Saponification begins with potash made from plantains and leaves, combined with fair-trade unrefined shea butter and Orangutan-safe West African palm oil sourced from small-scale farmers in Togo's Maritime region. The soap is then triple milled for density and longevity, and sun-cured for three weeks, producing a gentle, sulfate-free bar that clarifies without stripping.
- Triple milling compresses the bar for a slower, more even lather that outlasts standard soap formats.
- Unrefined shea butter and coconut oil deliver moisture while oat kernel meal soothes skin during cleansing.
- Completely unscented and free from sulfates and parabens, making it suitable for sensitive and reactive skin types.
- Palm oil traced directly to fair-trade co-op farmers in Togo, harvested using traditional methods on multi-cropped small farms.
This 5 oz bar is a practical, ingredient-transparent choice for anyone who wants effective daily cleansing grounded in traceable sourcing and real craft. Use it on face or body with confidence in what is, and is not, inside it.
