A new product has appeared on the modern perfumery and cosmetic market - African black soap. I must say that a bar of this soap costs not so little, compared to an ordinary bath. However, its high cost is explained by the fact that it consists of one hundred percent natural, organic components, and it is produced only in Africa. It is believed that the best black soap is made in Ghana. There are a lot of his recipes, and they are all classified as they are transmitted
local soap makers from generation to generation. If such soap was produced in Europe or the USA, this means that it also contains chemical components that are not found in real African soap. But even products produced on these two continents are quite effective, although only partially natural.
African soap is made only by hand and is an environmentally friendly product. The basis of most recipes is the ashes that remain after burning a special variety of bananas, cocoa beans andshea nuts. Also, carefully sun-dried
and powdered shea bark. Be sure to mix in several oils, for example, cocoa butter, shea (shea), coconut. All this substance is mixed by hand for a whole day, after which it “ripens” in a dark place for about two more weeks. For sale, black soap is brought in the form in which it is, and already on the market they simply cut off pieces of the size the buyer needs.
Despite its name, the real color of the soap is not black at all. In its color (and in appearance) it is more like oriental sweets. The color of the soap is not uniform, there are many shades. This indicates that the same product was made according to different unique recipes. Moreover, each of them is good and effective in its own way. Black soap is especially popular among people with problem skin, as it helps to get rid of not only acne and pimples, but also can eliminate irritation, age spots, eczema. This magical bar is suitable even for those with very sensitive skin. Even babies can be bathed with this soap as it is great for healing rashes and diaper rash.
But not only Africans are able to make good soap. No less popular is the domestic product - Agafya's black soap. Reviews about it, I must say, are very promising, as well as the composition. If you believe the latter, then it includes oils of about ten plants (cedar, fir, sea buckthorn,juniper, wild rose, burdock, flax and others), as well as many plant extracts and infusions (melissa, lungwort, succession, chamomile, lungwort, marshmallow, larch, licorice, bearberry, elecampane, etc.). This soap itself is black in color, comes in large jars and has a jelly-like consistency. In addition, it is quite multifunctional, since it can wash not only the body, but also the hair, and even the face. Those who left reviews about this product claim that Agafya's soap is almost miraculous: it does not dry the skin, hair stops falling out, dandruff disappears, pores narrow, and just the skin becomes surprisingly soft and silky. In addition, the jar is very economical, it lasts for several months.
