Peppermint Bar Black Soap (EXTERNAL USE ONLY)
What it is
Skin Gourmet Peppermint African Black Soap Bar is a traditional Ghanaian black soap bar made from cocoa pod ash, palm kernel oil, raw shea butter, and peppermint essential oil, nothing else. It delivers that deep, satisfying black soap cleanse, plus a crisp peppermint finish that leaves skin feeling refreshed, not perfumed.
Why it works for skin (the “how,” not hype)
Cocoa pod ash provides the natural alkaline base that helps lift away oil, sweat, and daily buildup.
Palm kernel oil creates a strong, effective lather, which is why black soap feels like it actually cleans.
Raw shea butter helps cushion the cleanse with a more comfortable, conditioned skin feel.
Peppermint essential oil adds a cool, refreshed sensation and clean mint aroma, ideal when you want a proper reset.
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 bar is powerful, so use the amount and frequency that suits your skin, rinse well, and moisturize after, especially if you’re dry-leaning.
Who it’s for (keeping it honest)
This bar works well for most skin types when used correctly, especially normal, combination, and oily skin. If your skin is sensitive, go slower, use less often, keep contact time short, and moisturize after.
How it’s made and where it’s from
Handmade in Ghana using the traditional black soap method, where cocoa pod ash and oils come together through saponification to create real soap. Our black soap comes from the Eastern Region of Ghana, Kukurantumi, and stays true to the recipe: no parabens, no preservatives, no fillers.
Tip:
This bar is intentionally big, cut what you need and store the rest, your future self will thank you. Do not keep it in water, and avoid leaving it in a humid spot, because black soap can soften and lose its shape over time. Store it in a cool, dry place away from water, or cut off a piece for daily use and refrigerate the rest, it lasts longer and behaves itself. Because it’s a real soap bar with a minimalist recipe and no added water, it’s naturally long-lasting when stored properly, it’ll keep for ages (not literally a thousand years, but close enough to make you feel impressively responsible).
