African Black Soap

[lovespell]

Has anyone heard anything about this product? It's a really crude looking soap made out, but I've heard great things about it. The girl that told me about it had horrible acne, tried everything under the sun including Proactive and Accutane but nothing worked. She stumbled across this and has been using it with great success for 3 years!

It's also been noted to to help clear up rashes, help dry skin, ezcama (sp?) and other skin conditions. Could it really help ALL those things?!

Here's a link with a mini article and where you can buy it. I'm really thinking of trying some out because nothing has worked with clearing up my skin. I've tried tons of over the counter stuff, plus pills and creams from a derm. It's cheap, so I suppose it won't hurt to give it a shot.

this sounds really good does anyone have anymore results they have found using this soap?

my mom's friend told her that her nephew used it on his acne and it cleared up. now her and her sister buy it in bulk for about $1.50 each because of the significant results of their skin. their fine lines & wrinkles were reduced and their skin tone is more even. i plan to purchase some and use it!

I keep hearing about this soap but not for acne but to help reduce underarm and bikini line irritation after shaving.

I should give it a try

If you decide to buy black soap, make sure it's the real thing, not soap dyed black. You can get the authentic stuff at http://www.nasabb.com/ I use it and I really like it.

[snowqueen]

[gruveechik]

if you're in toronto - canada, you can get it at Hiscott's on Yonge (south of College).
a company called 'black to eden' made it.
i've seen it around in health food stores as well as on the web.

good luck

Hmm I think I get a sample!

And to answer your question Browneyes

Ghana has an abundance of natural resources and therefore has
access to pure natural oils, salts & other natural products & ingredients.
Coconut Oil, Palm Kernel Oil, & Palm Oil, are used for cooking various
dishes in Ghana each day. These oils have been used to make Black Soap
for centuries.
