Inesscents African Black Soap is a holistic cleanser providing a gentle and effective way to clean the body from head to toe. It is produced and obtained according to Fair Trade standards and is the traditional soap used by people throughout West Africa for centuries. This soap contains NO animal fats or chemicals. The dark color of the soap is attributed to the drying, grinding, and roasting of cocoa pods and plantain peels, which are then boiled with an addition of local plant oils.
