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.

غطاء مكسور

لسى ماجربته بس كنت متحمسه له لحد ماوصلني ولقيت التغليف رديء والغطاء منكسر ومنكب شوي منه وحتى مافيه ختم عشان ماينكب لو إنكسر الغطاء وعشان النظافه ☹️ ومبدئياً شفته سائل جداً على غير عادة الشامبوهات وماله ريحه حرفياً مع أن التعليقات يقولون له ريحه 🙄 وبعد التجربه برجع أقول رأيي 😌 : بعد التجربه : رائع جداً كميه كبيره وطبيغي ورغوه حلو ونظف شعري وجسمي ووجهي زين وحتى غسلت فيه الملابس والصحون وماسبب لي مشاكل .. عيبه بس أن يحفف الشعر ويخليه متشابك بقوه وسعره الغالي وأن رأسه موب ضاغط
