Plant Guru African Black Soap - Raw 5 lb Bulk Bars, Handmade Cleanser for Face, Body & Hair

Plant Guru Raw African Black Soap 5 lbs is a traditional, handmade Ghanaian black soap formulated from natural oils and plant ashes to gently cleanse face, body, and hair.

Made in Ghana using a time-honored recipe, this 5-pound bulk format of Plant Guru Raw African Black Soap offers a concentrated, multipurpose cleanser for daily care routines. The bars combine unrefined oils, plantain skin ashes, and natural vitamin E to deliver a versatile soap that can be used for skin and scalp maintenance. Because it arrives in a bulk size, it’s a practical choice for families, salons, and anyone who prefers a single, natural option for full-body cleansing.

How does this soap cleanse without harsh chemicals?

The soap is saponified from natural fats and plant ashes rather than synthetic detergents, so it removes dirt and excess oils while maintaining a gentle profile. It avoids artificial fragrances and chemical additives, relying on the inherent properties of its raw ingredients.

• Made from extra virgin coconut oil and unrefined palm kernel oil for natural lathering.
• Plantain skin ashes provide traditional alkalinity for effective cleansing.
• Unrefined shea butter adds a balancing, conditioning element during use.
• No synthetic surfactants, parabens, or artificial dyes included.

Can I use this on my face, body, and hair safely?

Yes—this black soap is formulated as an all-purpose cleanser suitable for most skin types and for scalp cleansing. Start with a patch test if you have very sensitive skin, then lather and rinse as you would with other natural soaps for face, body, or hair.

• Face: use a small lathered amount with a soft cloth or hands to avoid over-drying.
• Body: apply with a sponge or loofah for a full-body wash and gentle exfoliation.
• Hair & scalp: lather into wet hair to clarify and rinse thoroughly; follow with conditioner if desired.
• Tip: avoid applying the dry bar directly to skin—work up a rich lather first.

What ingredients are in this traditional Ghanaian soap?

Plant Guru’s formula uses recognizable, minimally processed components sourced to reflect the classic African black soap method. Ingredients were chosen for cleansing and soothing characteristics rather than cosmetic enhancement.

• Extra virgin coconut oil for cleansing and lather production.
• Raw cocoa pods and plantain skin ashes used as traditional base elements.
• Unrefined palm kernel oil and unrefined shea butter for moisture balance.
• Natural vitamin E and purified water to support preservation and texture.

How should I store and use the bulk 5 lb bars?

Because this product comes in a large quantity, store it in a cool, dry place and cut into smaller bars for daily use. Proper storage keeps each portion solid and extends the usable life of the soap.

• Cut into manageable bars to keep the rest sealed and dry.
• Store away from direct sunlight and humidity to prevent softening.
• Use a soap dish with drainage to extend each bar’s lifespan.
• Great for salons or multi-person households where frequent use is expected.

Who is this for: Plant Guru Raw African Black Soap 5 lbs is designed for people seeking a natural, multi-use cleanser made by traditional methods—ideal for households, professional settings, and anyone preferring minimally processed skincare. If you want a handmade Ghanaian soap that covers face, body, and hair and comes in economical bulk, this product fits well. For very sensitive skin conditions, consider a patch test or consult a skincare professional before routine use.
