Description
The Yess Essentials African Black Soap is produced by Co-operatives in Ejisu, Ghana from cocoa pod husk ashes and unrefined palm kernel oil. The cocoa pod husk is the shell of the cocoa fruit left over after removing the cocoa beans for chocolate or cocoa butter. The husk is dried to a precise texture under the hot African sun. It is then roasted in a clay oven at a constant heat in order to achieve a particular colour, texture and smell. The ash obtained is then extracted with water and the resulting aqueous solution is concentrated down to give the concentrated potash solution. The potash solution is then added to palm kernel oil and heated with stirring to obtain the soap. Contains no animal fats, chemicals, preservatives, colour enhancers and fragrances Black Soap Storage: The soap is placed in a cool dry area wrapped in a strong paper or stored in a polythene or paper lined bag. Black soap has natural glycerine so it will naturally absorb moisture from the air and become darker in colour and softer in texture when left exposed. Also being potash based soap, it will always go soft on exposure to atmospheric moisture. Shelf-Life: Black soap does not go bad. It can be used at anytime if stored properly. Due to the natural process of production, occasionally the soap might contain pieces of tree bark or grit. This will not affect the quality of the soap in any way.
