Therapeutic Black Soap Cleansing Paste™
A rich, concentrated cleanser inspired by the traditional beauty practices of West Africa. Therapeutic Black Soap Cleansing Paste™ combines plantain ash and cocoa pod with unrefined shea butter, cocoa butter, coconut oil, palm-derived oils, and vitamin E to create a deeply cleansing yet conditioning ritual for the skin.
The concentrated paste texture offers a different experience from our liquid Black Soap cleansers. Massage a small amount onto damp skin to cleanse away everyday buildup, excess oil, and surface impurities, leaving skin feeling refreshed, clean, and conditioned.
The formula can also be incorporated into a scalp-cleansing ritual when appropriate for your hair and scalp routine.
Rooted in the heritage of African Black Soap, this formulation honors the traditional botanical materials that give Black Soap its distinctive character while presenting them in a contemporary cleansing format.
Heritage-inspired • Concentrated Cleansing • Botanical Care
Available in a 2 oz reusable and recyclable amber glass jar.
