Black Palm Soap – (Fair Trade)

SKU BPSS
Made with a stunning centuries old recipe, this is a fantastic soap with a truly native feel: packed with straight-from-the-land windswept luxury…

Black Palm is a natural soft soap made by a women's co-operative in Ghana using Fair Trade ethics. They collect the windfall cocoa pod and palm husks from the ground, then boil them up, creating the base ingredient for this fabulous hand soap. Shea butter is then added for its moisturising properties.

This base is shipped to the UK where it is mixed with lemongrass, vetiver and citronella essential oils and filled into these lovely aluminium tubes.

It is traditionally used in Africa for washing wounds and soothing irritated skin. Black Palm soft soap is very mild and suitable for use on both face and body. It is a honey-like soft gel, similar in consistency to an ointment. It does not contain any detergents or synthetic additives and is naturally 100% pure. It can be used as a travel wash, with citronella essential oil and may help ward off mosquitoes.

A little goes a long way and may be rubbed in without water, although it has a more fragrant smell if you do use water. So enjoy this gorgeous unique Fair Trade product with all the warmth and essence of Africa.

At first I found the texture a bit offputting but it lathered up really well with water and I've never before used a soap that leaves even my face so soft and smooth. And when used on the hands and body there is no need to moisturise afterwards my skin felt like it already had been and smelled lovely.

Unfortunately, this was an irritation on my irritated skin...... So much so, that it stung immediately and I had to dash for the flannel to remove it! Probably lovely on normal skin but not recommended on sensitive skin.

Wonderful fresh natural smell. Felt slightly tingly on my skin, left it feeling lovely and soft. Would definately recommend.
