INTRODUCTION
Black soap hails from West Africa and is quite popular due to its
powerful effects on the skin. It is known by many names,
including "ose dudu," a name used by the Yoruba people of
western Nigeria that literally means "black soap." The color of
black soap can range from light brown to deep black,depending
on the method of production.
Black soap contains ingredients that are beneficial for the skin.

HOW BLACK SOAP IS MADE FROM SCRATCH

Black soap is generally made from locally harvested African plants
such as plantain, cocoa pods, palm tree leaves and shea tree
bark. The ingredients are sun-dried and roasted, which is how it
gets its deep color. Water and oils such as coconut, palm and shea
butter are then added. The soap is then left to sit and
“cure.”

BLACK SOAP COMMON INGREDIENTS INCLUDE:-

PALM OIL
Palm oil is an ingredient in black soap that is rich in antioxidants.
It contains both tocopherols and tocotrienol, both forms of vitamin
E, which is used in the treatment of acne and eczema.

Palm oil also contains carotene. Carotene, tocopherols and

tocotrienol all help reduce cell damage caused by toxic
substances and environmental pollution.

PALM KERNEL OIL

Palm kernel oil is another ingredient in black soap and is extracted
from the fruit seeds of the African palm tree. It is used to increase
the lather and hardness of soap and is high in lauric acid, which
helps to destroy organisms like fungus,
bacteria and viruses. Palm kernel oil is similar in nature and
properties to coconut oil.

COCOA BUTTER
Black soap also contains cocoa butter, a natural fat extracted
from the cacao bean. Cocoa butter is a very good moisturizer and
readily absorbed by the skin. It is often recommended for the
treatment of eczema and dermatitis.
SHEA BUTTER
Shea butter, also known as karite butter because it is made from
the nuts of the karite tree, is another ingredient in black soap.
Shea butter is used to heal burns, scars, dermatitis,psoriasis and
sores, as well as dandruff and stretch marks.

It can diminish wrinkles by moisturizing the skin while increasing

circulation and promoting cell renewal. It contains cinnamic acid,
which helps to protect the skin from harmful UV rays.

STEP BY STEP IN MAKING ORGANIC BLACK SOAP

NOTE:- THIS SERVE AS THE BASE OF THE SOAP

The active ingredients of African Black soap come from the ash
of local plants including:
Cocoa pods
Palm kernels
Shea bark
Palm leaves
Coconut
Plantain leaves
Potash produced from plantain leaves
Virgin olive oil
Naturally-occurring glycerin
The plantain skin and potash are excellent sources of Vitamin A
and E, while glycerin helps the skin retain moisture throughout
the day. Palm kernel oil has lubricating properties, which makes it
suitable as a moisturizer. Palm oil and shea butter also serve as
the base oils. All the ingredients combined give the soap its
light brown to black color.

Traditional African black soap has a rough, earthy texture and

smell. Despite the ingredients, the soap is not oily. The grainy
texture helps exfoliate dead skin
cells off your skin to reveal healthier and smoother skin.

Apparatus needed include

Mortar and pestle
Big bowl
Pot
Small bowl or bucket
Hand glove
Double boiler

USES FOR AFRICAN BLACK SOAP

Africans use black soap for a number of reasons. Africans have
used it to clear acne, oily skin, as well as to maintain the natural
moisture and elasticity of the skin. Modern African women also
use this soap to remove make up. Since traditional black soap
contains natural ingredients without any perfumes, it is suitable
for use for women who have sensitive skin.

African black soap can also be used to clean hair. You simply
dissolve the soap in water in order to transfer the liquid soap into
a pump dispenser. The emollient properties of the ingredients are
suitable for dry hair.

STEPS FOR MAKING AFRICAN BLACK SOAP

The procedure for making African black soap is actually very easy.
You simply need to gather all the ingredients together including
coconut husks for coconut palm oil, as well as the plantain skin,
cocoa pods, and other ingredients.

The first step is gathering the ingredients. You will need

Coconut husks
Plantain skins
Shea bark
Cocoa pods
Hand press
Bowl or any other container
Strainer
Double broiler
Molds
Lighter
Create the base oil by extracting oil from coconut husks using the
palm press. You can also extract oil from the shea tree bark using
the press. If you can find bottled natural palm oil or shea
butter extracts, you can use these as substitutes. It is important
to remember that your oil should not be more than half the
capacity of the broiler. Burn the plantain skins and cocoa pods
together. Collect the ashes and place them into a bowl. Add
distilled water while continuously stirring the mixture. Add ashes
and water until you reach your desired consistency.

Heat the oil in the broiler until it reaches a liquid and smooth
consistency. Add the ash mixture and continue stirring until the
entire mixture turns into a deep dark brown. Keep the burner in
low heat and continue stirring.

If you want to add a little bit of fragrance to the mix, you can add
one or two drops of lavender oil. You can also add dried plant
parts to add to the scent and texture. Aside from adding scent,
this is also a great way to personalize your bars of African black
soap.

You will see films of the liquid soap forming on the sides of the
broiler. Scoop them up and transfer them into molds. Pack the
soaps into the molds and leave it to harden in the molds for up to
2 weeks.

STORAGE
Now that you have you bars of African black soap ready, the next
step is storage. The soap dissolves easily when exposed to water
so make sure that you store the soap in a dry place. You can cut
the bar up into smaller cubes that you can use for each shower to
avoid exposing the entire bar to water.

ADVANTAGES OF MAKING YOUR OWN AFRICAN BLACK

SOAP
There are many commercialized African black soaps being soldon
the market. However, most of these do not contain all the
ingredients used by native African makers, and they often contain
harsh ingredients such as parabens and sulfates, which are known
skin irritants.

If you make your own soap using all the natural ingredients you
can be sure that you are not introducing any harmful chemicals in
the soap that you will use
for your body and face. Commercial black soaps may also use
ingredient substitutes, which do not work as well as the original
ingredients for this soap, so you won’t have any assurance that
you are really getting your money’s worth.
Now that you know how to make black soap, you can easily get
the ingredients yourself and make your own batch of natural
African black soap. Most food and health stores sell the
ingredients and the entire process usually takes just a couple of
hours to make.
