Peppermint Black Soap (EXTERNAL USE ONLY)
What it is
Skin Gourmet Peppermint Black Soap is a liquid version of traditional Ghanaian black soap, made from cocoa pod ash, coconut oil, palm kernel oil, wild northern honey, pure water, and peppermint essential oil, absolutely nothing else added. It’s designed for soothed, refreshed, thoroughly clean skin, with that crisp peppermint finish that feels like a reset button.
Why it works for skin (the “how,” not hype)
Cocoa pod ash provides the natural alkaline base that helps lift away oil, sweat, sunscreen, and daily buildup.
Coconut oil and palm kernel oil create a strong cleanse and satisfying lather, which is why this formula feels effective even in small amounts.
Wild northern honey adds a naturally comforting feel on skin, supporting a more balanced cleanse.
Peppermint essential oil gives a cool, refreshed sensation and a clean mint aroma, making it ideal when you want skin to feel truly fresh.
What to know about pH (the grown-up part)
Traditional black soap is typically alkaline, which is one reason it cleans so well. The flip side is that if you overuse an alkaline cleanser, some skin types can feel dry, tight, or a bit “stripped,” because the skin barrier prefers a slightly acidic environment. Translation: this soap is powerful, so the smartest strategy is to start with a small amount, use it based on your skin’s needs, rinse well, and moisturize after, especially if you’re dry-leaning.
Who it’s for (keeping it honest)
This is best for normal, combination, and oily skin, and for anyone who wants a fresh, deeply clean finish. As stated on the label, it’s not recommended for sensitive skin, because peppermint essential oil can be too stimulating for easily irritated skin.
How it’s made
Handmade in Achimota, Accra, Ghana, using a traditional black soap approach where cocoa pod ash and oils come together through saponification to create real soap, then finished into a liquid format with pure water. No added emollients, no added preservatives, no filler ingredients, just the recipe.
Tip
This is a minimalist, real-soap formula, so it’s naturally long-lasting when stored properly. Keep it cool, keep it dry on the outside, and keep it tightly closed, the fridge is allowed, and it’ll keep for ages (not literally a thousand years, but close enough to make you feel impressively responsible). Also, if you leave black soap open, it naturally thickens over time because water slowly evaporates, so don’t panic, just close it well and shake before use.
