There has been misconceptions about the black soap for decades. Due to the all-natural skin enhancing properties contained in the African black soap, so many chemically manufactured soap have flooded the markets tricking the consumers to believe they are black soap. These chemically formulated soaps are mere mixtures of chemical substances with black dye added to them.
The genuie black soap is the Unrefined Black Soap Powder which is created from the ash of organic materials such as plantain skin, palm tree leaves, cocoa pods, and shea tree bark which are sun-dried and then roasted in a pot at a constant temperature. Tropical oils such as palm oil, coconut oil, palm kernel oil and shea butter are added to the roasted product. These natural ingredients act as the natural lye making the soap to lather and clean out dirts from the skin or hair effectively.
This unique black soap is in powdered form, collected immediately after roasting the organic mixture and has not been mixed with anything else making it completely pure and chemical-free. Unrefined African Black Soap Powder is native to the West Africa (Nigeria, Ghana, Benin & Sierra Leone). It is traditionally made- thanks to our ancestors that have passed down the techniques of using all-natural plant based products found in nature to save our skin from toxins.
Depending on the country based in West Africa where the black soap is made, the natural ingredients and the production methods used may differ which could make a big difference in the final outcome of the soap. But technically, the black soap would still be powdered and devoid of any chemicals.
The Yoruba tribe of the western part of Nigeria have successfully traded in unrefined black soap for years and it is still growing in popularity today. “Dudu” is the Yoruba word for “black” while the Camwood Powder (a unique red powder containing unbelivable amounts of antioxidants) is known as “Osun” hence, the term “Ose-dudu” or Dudu-osun” was coined from the mixture of the black soap and the camwood powder.
