Black Soap DIY: 20 Recipes Using African Black Soap Base

African black soap base is one of the most versatile DIY ingredients available — a pre-made liquid or paste form of traditionally processed black soap that can be customised into face washes, shampoos, body washes, shaving products, and more without requiring soap-making equipment or lye handling. Baraka's black soap base is cooperatively sourced and traditionally processed in Ghana, and many formulators report that its performance as a DIY base is meaningfully different from commodity alternatives.
