Product Review: Organic Ghana African Black Soap -  I was once very neutral about Traditional African Black Soap from Ghana (being unfamiliar with it) but, having used it for two years now, I love the texture, the look, the cleansing (less acne for me) and the softening effect it has on my skin! It has a mild, clean, natural smell (not offensive at all) just lovely; it's not oily, it's wonderfully moisturizing, and gives a scrumptious, creamy lather that is somewhat addictive! It is an excellent cleaner for all skin types & it's packed with plantain skins, palm kernel oil, vitamins and herbs, and coconut oil for added benefits to your skin. History: African Black Soaps are called "Alata" in Ghana, and "Dudu Osun" in Nigeria. Black soaps are an important part of African purification rituals, and ceremonial rites of passage. These wonderful soaps are ancient products that are still used daily, and highly treasured in African households.  Organic black soaps are difficult to make, and for African women the process involve long hours of intense labor. They are used effectively for removing body odors, rashes, acne, ringworm, skin ailments, to thoroughly cleanse and even skin tones, and to help remove and prevent blemishes.  The production and importing of black soaps are a strong economic base for African women in Ghana, West Africa, Nigeria and other regions. The authentic, original recipes vary from region to region, and are highly guarded against outside communities. At AromaKaye.com, we appreciate your interest in African communities, women's empowerment, and the economic strength that each purchase provides.
