Black African Liquid Soap
The liquid version of DAKIMO's African Black Soap: the same coconut/baobab base saponified with baobab pod ash, with xanthan gum (2%) added for a pourable, lathering texture suitable for body wash. No added fragrance. As with the bar version, baobab pod ash (not cocoa ash) is the saponifying agent, so EUDR traceability does not apply.
