Yes, even without synthetic foaming agents, Alaffia Black Soap creates a rich, creamy lather—especially when used with a loofah or washcloth. A little goes a long way!

Is this soap safe for acne-prone & sensitive skin?

Alaffia Black Soap is handcrafted with fair-trade unrefined shea butter and contains no synthetic fragrance or harsh sulfates. It’s gentle for most skin types, including acne-prone and sensitive skin. Patch testing is still recommended first.

What does it smell like?

The unscented version has a natural, earthy aroma from the raw ingredients like shea butter and neem. If you choose a scented variety, it’s typically lightly fragranced with essential oils—no synthetic perfumes here.

Is Alaffia Black Soap safe for color-treated hair?

While Alaffia Black Soap is made with natural ingredients and free from sulfates and harsh chemicals, it may strip color from dyed hair over time. For color-treated hair, use sparingly or choose a color-safe shampoo designed to protect hair color.

Is this product ethically made?

Alaffia is a social enterprise focused on fair trade, women’s empowerment, and community reinvestment in West Africa. Every purchase helps support maternal care, education, and environmental sustainability initiatives.
