An authentic African black soap bar enriched with Shea Butter, Aloe Vera, Oats, and Vitamin E — a centuries-old formula that deep cleanses, balances problem skin, and promotes healthy, radiant skin.
Why
African black soap has been used across Africa for centuries to treat acne, eczema, oily skin, psoriasis, and other skin concerns — made from palm ash, plantain peel, tamarind extract, and tar. Nubian Heritage honours that tradition with an authentic formula that combines the ancient medicinal properties of black soap with the healing and hydrating power of Shea Butter. The result is a deep-cleansing bar that aids exfoliation, promotes new cell growth, and helps reveal fresher, more even-toned skin — using ethically traded, sustainably produced ingredients.
