Raw African Black Soap Bar (0.5 lb)
Age-Old Remedy for Modern Skin
Promotes Healthy Skin Tone and Texture
Gently Exfoliates and Removes Impurities
Description
Garner's Garden Raw African Black Soap is an authentic, all-natural bar cleanser sourced directly from Ghana. It is formulated using a traditional recipe of roasted cocoa pods, plantain skins, and raw shea butter. This multi-purpose soap functions as a deep-pore facial cleanser and a clarifying body wash. Its primary purpose is to detoxify the skin, manage acne, soothe inflammatory conditions like eczema and psoriasis, and reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation. The formula is 100% natural, unrefined, and free from synthetic additives, making it a potent solution for oily, combination, and blemish-prone skin types.
-
Detoxification and Acne Management
- The ash from cocoa pods and plantain skins possesses natural clarifying and exfoliating properties. These ingredients work to draw out impurities, absorb excess sebum (oil), and gently remove dead skin cells that clog pores.
- Benefit: Effectively reduces and prevents acne breakouts, including blackheads and pustules. It is suitable for treating both facial and body acne.
-
Anti-Inflammatory and Skin Soothing
- The natural composition of the soap, including the high concentration of raw shea butter, provides powerful anti-inflammatory benefits. It helps to calm irritated skin without disrupting the natural skin barrier.
- Benefit: Offers relief from the symptoms of eczema and psoriasis, such as redness, itching, and inflammation. It cleanses troubled skin without causing further dryness or irritation.
-
Hyperpigmentation and Blemish Correction
- Rich in antioxidants and skin-replenishing minerals, the soap promotes skin cell turnover. This gentle exfoliation helps to break down clusters of melanin (pigment) and fade post-inflammatory marks.
- Benefit: Visibly diminishes the appearance of dark spots, acne scars, and uneven skin tone over time, resulting in a clearer, more radiant complexion.
-
Hydration and Nourishment
- Formulated with a high percentage of raw shea butter, a natural emollient rich in Vitamin A and Vitamin E. These vitamins are essential for maintaining skin health and elasticity.
- Benefit: Deeply moisturizes the skin during the cleansing process, preventing the stripped, tight feeling common with other clarifying soaps. Leaves skin feeling soft, balanced, and resilient.
Ideal For Skin Types:
- Oily Skin
- Combination Skin
- Acne-Prone Skin
Addresses Primary Skin Concerns:
- Acne Vulgaris (Acne)
- Comedones (Blackheads and Whiteheads)
- Body Acne
- Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (Dark Spots)
- Uneven Skin Tone and Texture
- Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis)
- Psoriasis
- Excess Sebum Production
Directions for Safe and Effective Use
Important Note: This is a potent, clarifying natural product. A patch test is recommended before first use, especially on the face.
- For Body Use: Lather the soap bar directly onto a washcloth, loofah, or in your hands. Apply the lather to wet skin, cleanse, and rinse thoroughly.
- For Facial Use: Due to its potency, do not apply the bar directly to facial skin. Lather the soap vigorously in your hands to create a rich foam. Gently massage the foam onto your damp face, avoiding the eye area. Rinse completely with cool water. For highly sensitive facial skin, consider Garner's Garden Organic Foaming Face Wash as an alternative.
Authenticity & Product Characteristics
- Origin: Sourced and handcrafted in Ghana, West Africa.
- Appearance: Genuine African Black Soap is not jet black; it has a brownish, marbled, earthy tone. Its texture is soft and malleable.
- Normal Phenomenon: When exposed to air, the soap can naturally develop a thin, white, powdery film. This is not mold; it is a normal occurrence and a sign of authenticity. Simply rinse the bar under water to remove it before use.
- Storage: Keep in a dry place or on a soap dish that allows for drainage to prolong its life.

Garner's Garden African Black Soap is the greatest Soap ever.
It is shaped as and looks like from my grandparent's times. The scent is a bit off but it lathers quite well and cleans the body so well that you feel refreshed after. 😊
Thanks for this review, Denys!
I love how they packaged the soap and I also love how it feels on my skin. I love the fact that it doesn’t leave my skin feeling dry. So it’s a 10/10
Thank you so much. We are so glad that you liked this product!
Absolutely love love love this soap makes my skin look and feel amazing
I stopped using deodorant about 5months or so now. I've been using other natural soaps, but I smelled. I bought this African black soap and have been using it, these are the things I noticed.
1. It's soft, you can squeeze it together
3. Doesn't really have a scent
2. I DON'T SMELL, I do HIIT training and I don't smell strong and stinky like I did when using other 'natural soaps'
I was so surprised, I don't use deodorant anymore and even after working out, sweating , I don't stink and I don't shave my armpits, so yeah I 100% recommend this soap. I bought 2lbs
Smell really no irritations
I wanted to love this soap, but all it did was break me out. My face,neck,arms started itching and this rash would appear, this happened at least 2x a day. It stopped once I discontinued using the soap. It just didn't work for me.
We apologize for any inconvenience! Breakouts can occur as your immune system initiates the detox process. Don't worry—continue using the soap, and you'll soon enjoy the benefits of a fully detoxed face and body. We appreciate your patience and commitment to healthier skin.
This is what real African black soap is supposed to look like. It isn’t supposed to be black, but brown/beige with a hint of black. I use this soap to cleanse my face as I became tired of using products on my skin with a bunch of chemicals causing irritation and dryness. I have what’s called combination/oily skin. So my skin rotates with being dry and oily depending on the day. This soap cleanses my face a little do good and leaves it squeaky clean, like my skin squeaks when I’m rinsing it in cold water. That lets me know that too many oils were removed from my skin, therefore I use this every other day. Since using it, my skin has become brighter.
I love the option of adding oils to the product, a definitive clean indeed
Amazing product 👏 👏 👏
I have used black soap from time to time, and I must say that this is one of the best ones I've had.
I’m a first time customer. I ordered 1lb and the amount of product I received for the price is a steal! I cut it according to my preferred usage and have more than enough to last until my next order. This stuff works wonders on the skin. You have to be selective on where you purchase. Some vendors’ products have rocks, fragrance and fillers that irritate the skin. This one is top tier with no fragrance and feels soothing to my face. Please try for yourself. Oh, and the coup de grace is the shipping time. My order arrived within a few days. Give it a try!
So far its has been removing majority of my acne in a week. My face has a soft texture as in back then it used to be so rough and bump due to acne. But now i have a smoother face. And my acne scars are fading away as well little by little.
This was the first product I ever actually have not liked. I never shopped with them before but when using this in the shower, after I get out my skin always feels extremely dry. I used this product 3 times and it has happened everytime. I am not the type to put on lotion either right after my shower because I never need it but everytime I use this soap I literally NEED it. This never happens with any other soap so I am not sure why or maybe if my skin is just sensitive to it. Whatever the case may be I will not be shopping with them again.

All I can say is I’m looking younger each time I use this soap. This soap cleans you like no other soap I have tried. It leaves your skin soft and smooth. If you are a cologne person like I am it gives a more intense smell to your cologne when it hits your body. Extremely thankful for your product.
THE LATHER IS NUMBER 1 OMG AND I LIKE THE WAY THE SOAP LOOKS EVERY THOUGHT IT WAS A BROWNIE 🤣
