Baobab Black Soap (EXTERNAL USE ONLY)
What it is
Skin Gourmet Baobab 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 baobab seed oil, absolutely nothing else added. This variant is designed to deliver the deep-clean power of black soap, but with a noticeably more comforting feel, thanks to the extra honey and baobab oil.
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 performs even with one pump.
Extra wild northern honey is the key upgrade here, it helps the cleanse feel more soothing and gentler, which is exactly why this is the go-to option when someone wants black soap benefits with less “edge.”
Baobab seed oil brings a richer, more conditioning skin feel, supporting softness and a healthy-looking glow after cleansing.
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 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 variant is a great choice for all skin types, and especially for anyone who wants a gentler black soap experience, including families choosing black soap for kids. For children and sensitive-leaning skin, use a small amount, keep contact time short, avoid the eye area, and moisturize after.
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. Absolutely zero parabens or preservatives, no added emollients, 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 you get the point). 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.
