Savon noir à la menthe poivrée (usage externe uniquement)
Qu'est-ce que c'est ?
Skin Gourmet Peppermint Black Soap is a liquid version of traditional Ghanaian black soap, made from cocoa pod ash, coconut oil, palm kernel oil, wild northern honey, pure water, and peppermint essential oil, absolutely nothing else added. It’s designed for soothed, refreshed, thoroughly clean skin, with that crisp peppermint finish that feels like a reset button.
Pourquoi cela fonctionne-t-il pour la peau (le “comment”, pas le battage publicitaire) ?
Les cendres de cacao fournissent une base alcaline naturelle qui aide à éliminer le sébum, la sueur, la crème solaire et les dépôts quotidiens.
L'huile de coco et l'huile de palmiste créent un nettoyage puissant et une mousse satisfaisante, c'est pourquoi cette formule est efficace même en petites quantités.
Wild northern honey adds a naturally comforting feel on skin, supporting a more balanced cleanse.
Peppermint essential oil gives a cool, refreshed sensation and a clean mint aroma, making it ideal when you want skin to feel truly fresh.
Ce qu'il faut savoir sur le pH (la partie adulte)
Traditional black soap is typically alkaline, which is one reason it cleans so well. The flip side is that if you overuse an alkaline cleanser, some skin types can feel dry, tight, or a bit “stripped,” because the skin barrier prefers a slightly acidic environment. Translation: this soap is powerful, so the smartest strategy is to start with a small amount, use it based on your skin’s needs, rinse well, and moisturize after, especially if you’re dry-leaning.
A qui ça s'adresse (pour rester honnête)
This is best for normal, combination, and oily skin, and for anyone who wants a fresh, deeply clean finish. As stated on the label, it’s not recommended for sensitive skin, because peppermint essential oil can be too stimulating for easily irritated skin.
Comment il est fabriqué
Handmade in Achimota, Accra, Ghana, using a traditional black soap approach where cocoa pod ash and oils come together through saponification to create real soap, then finished into a liquid format with pure water. No added emollients, no added preservatives, no filler ingredients, just the recipe.
Conseil
This is a minimalist, real-soap formula, so it’s naturally long-lasting when stored properly. Keep it cool, keep it dry on the outside, and keep it tightly closed, the fridge is allowed, and it’ll keep for ages (not literally a thousand years, but close enough to make you feel impressively responsible). Also, if you leave black soap open, it naturally thickens over time because water slowly evaporates, so don’t panic, just close it well and shake before use.
