Product details

Alaffia Authentic African Black Soap is a multitasking, unscented liquid cleanser crafted from traditional West African ingredients to wash hair, face, body and to lather for shaving.

Blending a centuries-old Togolese recipe with fair trade, unrefined shea butter and sustainably sourced palm oil, this dual-pack liquid black soap serves as a clarifying body wash, gentle facial cleanser, shampoo and shaving soap. Enhanced with hemp oil and olive leaf extracts, the formula aims to cleanse without stripping moisture while producing a creamy lather suitable for daily use. The unscented option keeps fragrances minimal for sensitive skin or fragrance-averse users.

How does this product perform as a daily body wash?

The liquid African black soap cleanses skin thoroughly while preserving natural oils, leaving a refreshed, non-tight feeling. Its soap base removes dirt and excess oil without heavy detergent harshness, making it suitable for everyday use.

  • Detoxifying, clarifying wash that rinses clean
  • Moisturizing shea butter helps prevent dryness
  • Gentle enough for frequent, head-to-toe cleansing

Will it work on my face and acne-prone skin?

Formulated to clarify and reduce surface impurities, the black soap can support clearer-looking skin when used as part of a routine. Because it’s unscented and contains nourishing shea butter, it aims to cleanse without provoking irritation for many skin types.

  • Clarifies pores and removes excess oil
  • Shea butter adds soothing, softening properties
  • Suitable for sensitive and acne-prone complexions

Can it replace my shampoo and help with a flaky scalp?

This African black soap doubles as a gentle shampoo that purifies hair and scalp, helping to reduce buildup that can contribute to flaking. Regular use can improve scalp cleanliness; follow with a conditioner if you need extra detangling or softness.

  • Effectively cleanses hair and removes product buildup
  • Supports scalp clarity that may minimize dandruff signs
  • Works for a range of hair types; pair with conditioner as desired

How does it perform as a shaving soap?

The formula produces a smooth, creamy lather that cushions skin and helps a razor glide with less friction. That creamy foam can make close shaves more comfortable while helping skin feel soft afterwards thanks to added shea butter.

  • Creates protective, cushiony lather for shaving
  • Helps reduce irritation through lubrication and moisture
  • Leaves skin feeling softer and less tight post-shave

Who is this for: Alaffia’s Authentic African Black Soap unscented liquid is designed for anyone seeking a multipurpose, minimally fragranced cleanser made with traditional raw shea butter and responsibly sourced West African oils. It suits people who prefer simple ingredient profiles, those with sensitive or combination skin, shoppers wanting fair trade-sourced components, and travelers or households that value one product to cover body wash, face wash, shampoo and shaving needs. As with any new cleanser, test on a small skin area first and pair with your usual conditioner or moisturizer if extra softness is desired.
