Frequently Asked Questions
Traditional African Black Soaps (ABS)
Our soap is naturally hygroscopic, meaning it attracts moisture. To ensure the bars remain dry from production in Ghana to your home, we wrap them in simple plastic packaging.
Sustainable Ingredients: We start with sustainably harvested, certified Fair Trade plant materials selected by our team of women in West Africa.
Traditional Methods: The AYÉYA community uses environmentally sustainable, traditional methods to convert these materials into Palm Kernel Oil and Shea Butter.
Authentic Production: Our Traditional African Black Soap is crafted as it has been for thousands of years. Palm kernel oil, coconut oil, and shea butter are combined with ash from ultra-local renewable sources to create a soft, crumbly black soap base. This base is then transported to another team in Ghana, where it is mixed with natural fragrance oils, pressed, cut, stamped, wrapped, and boxed into the final product.
Complete Local Production: AYÉYA’s teams in West Africa manage 100% of the process, from selecting the best plant materials to producing the beautiful soap bars you receive.
Retained Effectiveness: Any additional plant materials are added after the saponification process, ensuring they retain their full effectiveness.
No other brand can compare to our dedication to traditional methods, sustainability, and community-focused production.
