Alaffia's black soap recipe pressed into a hard triple-milled bar, with charcoal and reishi worked into it — a bar that holds its shape in a wet soap dish instead of dissolving into a puddle.

Highlights

✓ Triple milled — the bar is compressed three times rather than poured once, which is why it lasts noticeably longer than a soft handmade bar.
✓ Built on fair trade unrefined shea butter and West African palm oil — the shea is what keeps the bar from feeling stripping the way a plain glycerin soap can.
✓ Charcoal and reishi are the two additions that separate this bar from the plain unscented version — charcoal gives it the darker color, reishi is the mushroom extract.
✓ Sulfate-free, and Alaffia states it suits any skin type including the most sensitive — useful if lathering soaps normally leave you tight.

African black soap is a West African tradition, and Alaffia's version follows a centuries-old recipe from Togo — shea butter and palm oil saponified with potash, then cured. Alaffia sources the palm oil from small multi-crop farms in the Maritime region of Togo rather than from cleared-rainforest plantations. This is an easy way to try black soap before committing to a full-size liquid.

One triple-milled bar in a card box. Charcoal and reishi added; sulfate-free. Alaffia states it is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive. Keep it on a draining dish between uses — a milled bar lasts far longer out of standing water. For external use only. Alaffia doesn't publish the bar's net weight or a full ingredient list for this style — ask us before ordering if you need either.
