African Black Soap (Iya Ọṣẹ)
At My L’ewa Skin, our African Black Soap is sourced from a dedicated artisan known as Iya Ọṣẹ Dudu in Osun State, Nigeria. She crafts black soap crumples by hand, using nut-free ingredients that align with our commitment to safety and inclusivity. These crumples form the foundation of our African Black Soap, which offers a rich exfoliation experience, gently scrubbing away impurities to reveal smooth, radiant skin.
This soap is perfect for cleansing, exfoliating, and addressing common skincare concerns such as dryness and blemishes. One unique feature of our African Black Soap is its variation in color. Because it’s made from raw materials like ashes, and plantain skin, each batch can range from a deep brown to a lighter shade—depending on the ashes used. Whether it’s darker today or lighter next time, rest assured that its quality and effectiveness remain unchanged.
Through fair trade, we’ve ensured that Iya Ọṣẹ Dudu receives sustainable income, helping her build a secure workspace where she can continue her craft year-round. Her dedication to traditional soap-making, passed down through generations in her husband’s family, inspires me deeply. By supporting her livelihood, we’re not only empowering her but also keeping our Yorùbá heritage alive.
Our commitment to empowering Iya Ọṣẹ Dudu is rooted in the belief that when you uplift a woman, you uplift an entire community.
