8oz Raw Liquid African Black Soap - Face, Body & Hair Cleanser

$8.00

African black soap was cleaning skin long before skincare routines came with ring lights, hashtags, and seventeen unnecessary steps.

Our handmade 8oz Raw Liquid African Black Soap is an ash-based, plant-powered cleanser that handles your face, body, hair, beard, scalp, makeup, sunscreen, and whatever else the day tried to leave behind. It creates a rich lather, rinses clean, and leaves you feeling properly washed—not coated in mystery residue. African black soap has deep West African roots, and the traditional soap is often known as ose dudu.

This vegan formula is made with coconut oil, cocoa pods, palm kernel oil, shea butter, plantain skin ash, and water—nothing else. There’s no added fragrance or artificial color, just a light, naturally earthy aroma from the raw plant ingredients. It also works great as a beard wash, helping lift away oil, product buildup, and those little beard flakes nobody invited.

Brought to you by Mama Aswan Butters & Oils, a Black-owned, independent business based right here in Dayton, Ohio, this is the bottle I reach for at night when it is time to erase the day—and possibly a few bad decisions along with it.

What It Is
Raw Liquid African Black Soap is a concentrated, multipurpose cleanser made using traditional West African plant materials and ash. Yes, ASH. It is part of what gives authentic black soap its deep color, natural variation, and strong cleansing personality. This is not a crystal clear, factory-made body wash—and that is the point.

Who It Is For

  • Anyone who wants one cleanser for the face, body, hair, and scalp

  • Makeup wearers ready to take the whole day off

  • People who prefer vegan, plant-based body care

  • Customers avoiding added fragrance and artificial color

  • Oily or buildup-prone routines that need a thorough cleanse

  • Minimalists who would like four jobs handled by one bottle

  • Men who want a fresh, clean beard with less oil and flakes

What It Helps With
Makeup that has overstayed its welcome
The rich lather helps loosen foundation, sunscreen, and complexion products so they rinse away more easily. Customers especially rave about its makeup-removing skills—and waterproof mascara has reportedly been put on notice. Keep the lather out of your eyes and mouth.

The general grime of being outside
Sweat, excess oil, sunscreen, body products, and everyday buildup can pile up fast. This soap washes all that away and rinses without leaving a heavy film behind.

A scalp full of product buildup
It can be used to cleanse your hair and scalp to help wash away oil and styling-product residue. Follow with conditioner or your regular moisturizing hair routine, because clean hair still deserves manners.

Beard odor and visible flakes
Helps wash away trapped sweat, oil, and product buildup so beards feel fresher, cleaner, and less flaky.

A crowded bathroom shelf
Face cleanser. Body wash. Makeup remover. Shampoo. One bottle. Your shower shelf can finally stop looking like it runs a small warehouse.

Why Mama Aswan Is Different
We believe selling good body care also means showing you how to use it. No vague directions, no guessing games, and no leaving you alone with a bottle of raw black soap and one very confused cheek.

We choose products with real people and real routines in mind. We keep the instructions honest, explain what to expect, and make traditional body care feel approachable—not intimidating. Good products matter, but clear guidance and thoughtful service matter too. That is the Mama Aswan difference.

FAQs
Why do I need to wet my skin before using liquid African black soap?
Raw African black soap is concentrated and may feel too strong when applied directly. Wetting your skin gives you more control, makes it easier to use, and helps reduce the chance of leaving your skin feeling overly dry.

Is liquid African black soap suitable for most skin types?
Its made without added dyes, synthetic fragrances, or perfumes, which can make it a good option for people who prefer simpler formulas. That said, black soap can still feel strong for some skin types. Check the ingredient label, patch test first, and stop using it if irritation occurs.

Is this soap vegan?
Yes, this soap is vegan and made without animal-derived ingredients.

Should I moisturize after using African black soap?
Yes. After rinsing and patting your skin dry, follow with a body cream, butter, facial moisturizer, or hair conditioner appropriate for the area you cleansed. Black soap handles the cleanup; moisturizer comes in afterward to keep the peace.

  • How do I use Liquid Black Soap

    Shake it up. Natural ingredients may settle, so give the mixture a good shake before each use.

    For your face: Lather a small amount between wet hands. Massage the foam gently over damp skin, avoiding the eyes, then rinse well. Raw black soap can have a higher pH than skin, so starting slowly and moisturizing afterward are smart moves—not optional bonus points.

    For your body: Apply to wet hands, a washcloth, or a Sapo Sponge. Work up a lather, cleanse, and rinse.

    For your hair: Apply it to wet hair, massage gently, and rinse thoroughly. Follow with conditioner.

  • Each Mama Aswan product is handcrafted in small batches, so color and design may vary a bit from the photos. Think of it like this: you’re not getting a factory copy, you’re getting the real handmade deal. Same recipe, same quality, same good vibes.

  • Keep the bottle tightly closed and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.

    For external use only. Avoid the eyes, mouth and broken or irritated skin. Patch test first, stop use if irritation occurs, and moisturize after cleansing.
