Our Earth's Secrets Natural Raw African Black Soap 2 lb — Plant‑Based, Unscented Traditional Ghanaian Bar

Our Earth's Secrets Natural Raw African Black Soap is a 2 lb traditional Ghanaian soap made from plant-based oils, cocoa pod husks and plantain ash for gentle, multipurpose cleansing.

Made in Ghana using time-honored methods, this premium raw African black soap combines unrefined shea butter, palm kernel and coconut oils, stearin oil, cocoa pod husk and plantain skin ash to create a deeply natural cleansing bar. It contains no artificial fragrances and includes natural vitamin E and sodium for a simple ingredient profile. Because it is sold raw and unrefined, the texture can include small plant particles—use as a lathered wash rather than rubbing the bar directly on delicate skin.

How should I use this raw African black soap safely?

Use this soap by generating a lather in your hands, on a washcloth, or with a bath puff; avoid rubbing the bar directly on the face or sensitive areas to prevent irritation from small plant particles. Rinse thoroughly after use and follow with your usual moisturizer if desired. For hair, apply the lather at the scalp, rinse, and condition as needed.

• Make a rich lather in hands or cloth before applying
• Avoid direct bar contact on fragile or inflamed skin
• Rinse thoroughly and moisturize afterward
• Patch test on a small area if you have sensitive skin

What ingredients are in this soap and where do they come from?

The formula lists plant-derived components: palm kernel oil, coconut oil, stearin oil, cocoa pod husk, unrefined shea butter, plantain skin ash, natural vitamin E, natural sodium and water. These materials reflect traditional Ghanaian soapmaking practices, with cocoa pod husks and plantain ash providing color and texture. No artificial colorants or synthetic fragrances are added.

• Palm kernel and coconut oils — base oils for cleansing and lather
• Unrefined shea butter — traditional Ghanaian fat for creaminess
• Cocoa pod husk & plantain ash — natural color and mild exfoliant
• Natural vitamin E and sodium — stability and gentle preservation

How much product do I get and how long will it last?

This listing contains one 2 lb (1814 g) block of raw African black soap — a larger format intended for home use, shared households, or trimming into smaller bars. Longevity depends on frequency of use and storage: keeping the soap dry between uses on a well-drained dish will help it last longer. Because the soap is raw, you can cut it into portions to reduce waste and control drying time.

• Net weight: 2 lbs / 1814 grams
• Best stored in a cool, dry place on a draining soap dish
• Cut into smaller bars for individual use and faster drying

Will this soap suit my skin or hair type?

The soap’s natural oil blend and unrefined shea butter make it adaptable for many routines, but the raw texture and plant particles may be too abrasive for very sensitive or broken skin. It can be used on body, hair and face when lathered, though people with delicate complexions should test a small patch first. Because it has no added fragrances, it’s a good choice for those avoiding scented products.

• Suitable for general cleansing on body and hair when lathered
• Patch-test recommended for sensitive or reactive skin
• Fragrance-free for those avoiding synthetic scents

Who is this for? This 2 lb block of Our Earth's Secrets Raw African Black Soap is aimed at shoppers who want an authentic, minimally processed Ghanaian soap in a larger size — ideal for eco-conscious households, DIY bar cutters, barbers, salons, or anyone preferring fragrance-free, plant-based cleansing. If you prefer a very smooth commercial bar or have extremely sensitive skin, consider a refined alternative; otherwise, this traditional soap offers a natural, multipurpose option when used according to the raw-soap guidance above.
