What it is

A triple-milled bar soap from Alaffia, a fair-trade body care brand. Their classic African black soap, enhanced with charcoal and reishi.

What it does

The same centuries-old recipe of fair-trade shea butter and orangutan-safe West African palm oil, cooked six hours with plantain potash and sun-cured for three weeks, with charcoal and reishi added. Clarifies and softens, sulfate-free, for any skin type.

Who it's for

Anyone who likes the classic black soap and wants a little extra: charcoal for a deeper cleanse, reishi as a skin-loving botanical.

How to use

How much: Lather the bar between your hands.

1. Wet the bar and work up a lather.
2. Wash the face and body, then rinse.
3. Store on a draining soap dish so the bar lasts.

Where it fits: Daily, in the shower or at the sink.

About the brand

Alaffia

Fair trade beauty that empowers

The story of Alaffia grew out of West African soil: in 1996, a young man from Togo met a young woman from rural Washington State, and out of their shared calling Alaffia, a social enterprise, was born (founded 2003). Its values are Beauty, Equality, and Empowerment, with fair-trade, cruelty-free ingredients handcrafted by women-led cooperatives in West Africa. Profits fund education, maternal health, and environmental sustainability projects.

We stock Alaffia because their shea-based body care genuinely works, and every purchase supports women-led cooperatives in West Africa.

Skincare questions, answered

Where does this go in my routine?

Thinnest to thickest: cleanser, toner, serum, moisturizer, then SPF in the morning. This product's How to use section above tells you its exact step.

When will I see results?

Give it 4 to 6 weeks of consistent use — that's one full skin cycle. Hydration shows up in days; tone and texture take weeks. If your skin reacts badly (stinging, new breakouts that don't settle within a week), stop using it.

I have sensitive skin. Will this irritate me?

Patch test first: a dab behind your ear or along your jawline, wait 24 hours. Fragrance-free formulas are the safest bet for reactive skin — check the highlights on this page.
