A black soap made the traditional Ghanaian way, from just four ingredients: roasted cocoa pods, plantain skin ash, shea butter, and water. It cleanses without the long ingredient list of a conventional bar, and the shea butter keeps it from leaving skin tight.

It lathers generously — a small piece goes a long way — and works on the face, body, and scalp. Because it is a natural soap, introduce it gradually and patch-test first.

Material & dimensions

A traditional black soap, handcrafted in Ghana. Free of artificial additives, preservatives, and added fragrance. Lathers well — a small piece is enough. For face, body, and hair.

Shelf life about 24 months; keep in a cool, dry place, and store in a closed container between uses.

Ingredients

Ingredients:

Roasted cocoa pods, plantain skin ash, shea butter, purified water.

Care

Apply to clean skin. Creams, lotions, and oils sink in best when skin is still warm from a bath or shower; cleansers and washes lather over damp skin.

Store away from direct heat and sunlight, and close the cap or lid fully between uses. For external use only — if irritation occurs, stop use.

Shipping & returns

Great for Acne and sensitive skin!

I’ve been using Duma soap for probably a year and a half and I loveeee the African black soap. I won’t buy from anyone else because it’s usually not as authentic and raw so I always go with Duma and I buy a pound usually to last me 7+ months but it wasn’t available so I got two 8 oz and it’s perfect just cut it up into cubes and a little goes a long way!

Fantastic Soap

I've purchased the African black soap twice now. I don't really imagine switching back to a standard store bar soap for my shower routine. It does not leave my skin feeling tight or dry or itchy. I felt the balancing effects it has at first but now that my skins PH is balanced it no longer stings at all. Even when exfoliating with my African net and this soap my skin never feels tight or stripped at all. It's a fantastic product and it lasts a long time.

The best soap I’ve ever used

Can’t recommend this soap highly enough. Firstly, it’s so cleansing- I have never felt cleaner than when I use. Secondly, I think it really helps to calm my skin down. I have sensitive, dry skin (and am prone to it due to being diabetic), and this helps soothe it. I don’t know why I ever bought anything else, but thank goodness this exists! And it works much, much better than the commercial stuff.

No noticeable improvement

Been using for 3 months now on my second big bar. My face is smooth but other than that no difference. Hasn’t helped with dark spots or none of my other face and neck issues.

The Struggle Is Over

I have struggled for a lifetime to find a facial soap that makes me feel clean and doesn’t make me break out. I have found a solution to both problems with this product. I highly recommend.

Love this soap! It’s my

Love this soap! It’s my 2nd time purchasing this and I’m still very happy with it. When I first bought this I was looking for a natural soap alternative. I was tired of the toxic chemical filled soaps that I had been using. I noticed that I would stink at the end of everyday despite me showering every morning. Since I’ve started using this soap all of that has stopped and I feel very clean and my skin loves it!

Get it. NOW!

TLDR; GET THIS SOAP!!!! You will NOT regret it!

I’ve been using this soap for half a year now. DEFINITELY saw and felt a difference almost immediately! ESPECIALLY FOR MY ACNE PRONE SKIN! When I started using it to wash my face, I could not believe how smooth my face was, and how it got my oily face under control without drying out my cheeks! I haven’t had a bad breakout since. I SWEAR BY THIS SOAP! My skin is softer, and I feel clean!
I was using the Dr. Bronner’s soap before switching to this one. I felt like the Dr. Bronner’s would leave a residue or something. I felt a layer of residue and I was constantly ashy. This one doesn’t do that! I feel like my skin can breathe. I HIGHLY recommend this!
I go buying the 1lb in bulk because they always sell out! (And I understand why). The soaps last a long time because you use a small amount.
I also love that they give you discounts everytime you purchase. Such customer oriented service! ☺️

Love it so far!

I've never tried actual African black soap before and so far I really love it. I've only been using it for a couple days, as
it is very drying so I'm only using it every other day but I use it with my beef tallow as moisturizer and it's working wonderfully excited to see how my skin does overtime definitely will be buying more.
