Alaffia’S Authentic African Black Soap Bar Is Likened To The Home Remedies Of Togolese Mamans. It’S Made From A Centuries-Old ​Recipe Of Handcrafted Fair Trade And Organic Unrefined, "Raw" Shea Butter And Orangutan-Safe West African ​Palm Oil†. Saponification Is Reached By Adding Potash (Made From Plantains And Leaves) To The Hot Oils, ​And Then Cooking It For Six Hours. The Last Step Is Curing The Soap In The Sun ​For Three Weeks, Resulting In A Gentle And Effective Cleanser That Clarifies And Softens Skin. Suitable For Any Skin Type, Even The Most Sensitive. Sulfate-Free.
