Sheabutter cottage Authentic African Liquid Soap Review

Rating: 5/5. Available from Sheabutter Cottage with prices starting from £3.00 (+p&p).

Wow, Akua Wood cannot put a foot wrong. Her product selection is of such high quality that there is really nothing we can say other than "how come this lady has not won more awards?".

This natural, handmade Soap is made to a traditional recipe using Cocoa ash, plaintain skins, unrefined coconut oil and unrefined shea butter. Lush! It is used in West Africa to soothe the skin, and it's free from all chemical nasties. On top of that it's from Sheabutter Cottage, check out our review here.

This soap has a mild smoky smell, and is pretty much all purpose; hand wash, body wash, shampoo. But there is one word of warning if you are going to use it as a shampoo; use it sparingly and only apply it to the hair shaft - don't go near your roots, like soapnuts we found that this can dry your hair out. Used on the hair alone however, it is a fantastic shampoo and really nourishes the hair. We like to add essential oils to it sometimes, but most of the time we use as it is!

Once again, we love this Sheabutter Cottage product! It is such amazing quality, is fairtrade and it's gentle enough to be used on all skin types!
Ingredients: water, cocoa ash, plantain skin, unrefined coconut oil, unrefined shea butter.
