Ghanaians have been using black soap for centuries for general bathing and hair washing. Black soap is renowned for its natural healing properties and is used in the treatment of various skin conditions.

Akoma's Fairtrade Organic Black Soap is one of the healthiest soaps for the skin due to the purity and simplicity of the ingredients which are loaded with essential vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. The soap cleanses while moisturising the skin with its nourishing balance of ingredients.

Akoma's Black Soap has received both Fairtrade certification (from the Fairtrade Foundation) and Organic status (from the Soil Association) in 2009. Akoma's soap has a mild, fresh, natural scent and a wonderful creamy lather of fine bubbles that leaves skin beautifully clean and refreshed.

What can you use our Organic Black Soap for?

Removal of cosmetics:

Akoma's Fairly Traded Organic Black Soap is a wonderful alternative to expensive products that rely on chemical additives and foaming agents to remove your make-up. It will even work on waterproof cosmetics.

Cleansing:

Akoma's Black Soap foams into a rich lather with fine bubbles that penetrate the skin to remove any dirt and oil that if left will clog your pores. The lather cleanses while enriching the skin with essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

Gentle Exfoliation:

Akoma's Fairly Traded Organic Black Soap delivers a deep cleansing experience that exfoliates dead skin cells to reveal radiant, clean, fresh and healthy skin.

It provides a deep cleansing exfoliate but it is gentle enough to use on your face while restoring moisture balance and shine. Leave the lather on your face or body for just a couple of minutes and then rinse with plenty of water. Repeat a couple of times a week and watch your skin take on a radiant youthful glow.

Shaving:

Akoma's Fairly Traded Organic Black Soap is fabulous for shaving. Simply apply to your skin to create a rich foamy lather and then shave for a really smooth finish. The product is suitable for men and women alike.
