Our Earth's Secrets Raw African Black Soap Bar — 5 lb Bulk Block, Unscented Natural Cleansing with Shea Butter

Our Earth's Secrets Premium Raw African Black Soap is a traditional, chemical-free cleansing bar made in Ghana using natural oils, cocoa pod ash, and unrefined shea butter, offered in a 5‑pound bulk format.

Handcrafted using age-old Ghanaian techniques, this raw African black soap blends palm kernel oil, coconut oil, cocoa pod ash and unrefined shea butter to create a deeply cleansing, naturally derived soap. Because it’s raw and unperfumed, the texture and color vary batch to batch—an authentic sign of handmade production rather than factory processing. The soap arrives unscented, free from synthetic fragrances, and designed for lathering in the hands or on a washcloth before applying to skin, face or hair.

How should I use raw African black soap safely on my face and body?

Raw African black soap is concentrated and can be more abrasive than a milled commercial bar. Avoid rubbing the bar directly on delicate facial skin; instead, create a rich lather in your palms or on a soft cloth and apply gently. Rinse thoroughly and follow with a moisturizer as needed to maintain skin balance.

• Lather in hands or a washcloth—do not rub bar directly on face.
• Apply gently to wet skin, then rinse with lukewarm water.
• Use a light moisturizer after cleansing if skin feels tight.
• Patch-test on a small area if you have sensitive skin.

What are the ingredients and why do they matter?

This soap uses a simple roster of natural components with functional roles: palm kernel and coconut oils help produce a stable lather, cocoa pod ash provides the traditional alkaline element needed for saponification, and unrefined shea butter adds conditioning fatty acids. There are no artificial fragrances or synthetic additives—what you see is what you get.

• Palm kernel oil and coconut oil: create cleansing lather and firmness.
• Cocoa pod ash: natural alkaline base used in traditional soapmaking.
• Unrefined shea butter: adds fatty acids that help nourish skin.
• Water: used to process and mellow the soap during curing.

How much soap is included and how can I store a 5‑pound block?

This listing supplies a generous 5‑pound (4,535‑gram) block of raw soap—suitable for long-term household use, salons, or for cutting into smaller bars. Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight and allow cut pieces to breathe; proper airflow helps the soap cure and reduces the chance of softening.

• Total weight: 5 lbs (4,535 g) of raw African black soap.
• Cut into smaller bars for daily use or bulk distribution.
• Keep away from prolonged humidity to prevent softening.
• Wrap or place on a slotted soap dish to prolong bar life.

Can I use this soap on hair and scalp?

Raw African black soap has been used traditionally for hair cleansing; it can remove oils and build-up effectively. Because it’s alkaline, some people follow with a conditioning rinse or oil treatment to restore softness—start with occasional use to assess how your hair responds.

• Works for hair cleansing when lathered and applied like shampoo.
• May strip heavy oils—use a conditioner or oil rinse afterward if needed.
• Begin with once-a-week use and adjust frequency based on results.
• Suitable for scalps that tolerate alkaline-based cleansers.

Who is this for? Our Earth's Secrets Premium Raw African Black Soap is made for people who prefer traditional, minimally processed personal-care products and want a large, economical supply. It fits households that make their own bars or cosmetics, small businesses such as salons or makers who cut and repackage soap, and anyone seeking an unscented, ingredient-simple cleanser crafted in Ghana using authentic methods. Avoid direct bar contact with sensitive facial areas and perform a patch test if you have reactive skin.
