The African black soap ( African Black Soap ) is native to West Africa. Long before the arrival of the first foreign explorers, indigenous Africans made potash-based soap made from vegetable ash (banana peel, cocoa pod, tree bark, etc.). The blackish brown color is due to the process of hot saponification (mixture of ash and fat). Once cooled, the soap was rolled into a ball and used by the whole family.
Black soap has several denominations depending on the country of origin. In Ivory Coast, the traditional black soap in AKAN people is called Kon'dou Samlan or Samlan Wheat .
The brand OYEMI Soap Noir Doux perpetuates the legacy of ancestral traditions.
A formula enriched with traditional black soap, OYEMI Soft Black Soap takes care of the whole family.
