Hi Queen! Great video 🌟. Just a fyi: if you ever want to go from scratch, you can buy tamarind, plantains, and palm leaves-roast them to black but not burned in the oven, and toss in a good blender to make the powder. I'm in Florida so it might not be easily accessible to palm leaves, but the other stuff you should be able to find in Walmart or any international market. Be well 🌹
Yes, you are so right. I like the simplicity and time saving of having the mixture ready. I may try the true from scratch method someday when my kids are older and I have a bit more time. :) Thank you for watching Doll.
Thank you
Thank You! I love this idea ❤❤❤
The main ingredient in african black soap is potash which is almost the same as caustic soda it's just more expensive and more of an exfoliate.
You can imitate, and, in my opinion improve on this soap by just using caustic soda,powdered coal,black powdered clay,any brown clay and Shay butter.
What are the measurements for this recipe? I don’t want to add too much lye
Available in the apothecary ✨☀️💛
@@brandijacksonwellness Hi Brandi, how much powder did you add to the mix ?
Merhaba neden Türkçe alt yazı yok ?
African black soap???? From powder ? Lye? This is not from scratch
Find a local from Africa to teach you
That would be pretty cool!💛💛💛
HaHa
What an absolute unprofessional mess.
Thanks Steve.💛
What's so unprofessional about homemade black soap?! 🧐
Pull the stick out of your booty man
nice try, but truth is the african black soap has no lye in it, it is a mixture of plantain peel ash and cocoa pod ash that serves as lye.. i am from ghana where this soap is made but living in germany now and i miss the sweet citronella smell it has
+aba-pokuaa kuntu-blankson This is awesome information. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I love that citronella fragrance so much too! :)
Brandi Jackson welcome dear :)
It actually does contain lye as the ingredients used in producing the ash are potassium rich, thats why the liquid made from these ashes are high in potassium lye
An alkaline substance is required to make soap. Ash takes the place of lye in traditional African black soap.
I love the simplicity of making this soap, I will definitely try this.....Just looked on Amazon for the black soap powder, and they have it...Yeah. Thank you for sharing.
+deidrethe “threadone” threader Awesome! I am so excited that it turned out great. I used some this morning. :0 ) Happy soaping.
Thank you! I am on a natural hair journey, and I can say this is tough! After watching this video I feel a lot better knowing there are natural ways to wash my hair!
+Freeze Clarke Thank you for the feedback. I'm glad that I could help. I wish you a happy and healthy natural hair journey.
Thank you! And you too.
Great video!! Thank you for sharing
You are very welcome, a new recipe will be posting later this week. :)
Great demonstration thank you so much. Have a wonderful day love.
+Rachel Sweets thanks lady.
Nice!
+Cee Toni Thank you. :0)
great d.i.y have to try it
+Nappy Tresses I'm glad you enjoyed. :)
I like that you didn't uses a crock pot. I do & I get a bubbling up affect after awhile (it can be very messy). You got me thinking I don't need to. Thoughts? I have never made this soap, but my method is the same as yours.
I think it's faster in cleaner minus the crock pot. However, the beauty of using a crock pot is that the soap is essentially ready for use sooner right? I like the cold process method and don't mind waiting. I'm going to start a monthly rotation and then there will always be soap ready and soap curing. :)
Brandi Jackson Nice. Yes with the crock pot it sets up pretty fast. I made pawpaw soap ( with Coconut oil,Hemp Seed oil, & Pawpaw puree) some other essential oils too. So amazing! We have a local pawpaw festival where I live. It leaves your skin so soft! The lather felt almost like shaving cream! Rich & creamy!
wow...where do I get the black soap powder, and the lye? I love your this

Wow! Watching this makes me want to make lye process soap! I've always ben a bit freaked out about it! Thanks!
+tishushu I totally get it. Not so scary after a few tries. I hope you give it try. I bet you would enjoy making soap!
Your soap turned out really nice, I would like to see how it lathers.
+LADYOF AK I think there is a clip of the lather included in the video? Let me know if you spot it. All the best to you, and have a great day!
great video thank much love
Thank you. Glad to hear from you. :)
Thanks for a soap DIY. I have been thinking about doing this using several different ways but I have to ask, where can I buy lye without going some place online? What kind of store should I go to?
Have you tried using aloe? If so, how did it work out?
Also when I pour my soap into a container, I use small wax paper cups for molds and cut them the tall way, so they are easier to hold.
thanks for the video.
+kEEpEr Grounds Awesome! These are excellent tips. You can go to a hardware store to find lye for soap making locally. Just be sure to verify that the lye is in powder form, not the stuff used for plumbing. I have not found lye at Michaels or Joanns but there is also likely to be local soap making suppliers, try to google your local city and soap making supplies and I bet you'll find some good leads.
Never tried aloe for soap but I have been thinking about it. Thank you for sharing your tips too.
Don't know what's in the powder but African black soap doesn't need additional lye added to it.
Did you mix anything with the palm oil, it seems to have a gel like consistency?
It was stored in a cooler temperature. :) I did not mix anything with it, it was just a bit colder/ solid.
This is very nice and simple. Is the palm oil food grade or cosmetic grade? I am Ghanaian and I use palm oil for cooking sometimes but I wonder is it's the same type bought at the local African stores.
+A KK My palm oil is organic so I think it would be ideal for consuming/ ingesting or for beauty products as well. I always try to read the labels and product reviews for my purchases because I have sensitive skin. :)
Hello, can I use whatever butter or oils I want maybe even eo or extracts in this soap???
I imagine it will be perfectly fine to customize your oils and butters and extracts. Have fun!
Jasmine Seymour make sute to run your oils through a lye calculator to avoid a caustic soap that can burn the skin!
Great DIY video. Thanks but How much of the black soap powder should be put into the tea water?
+Lee Thompson Click the link in the description box, you can see the measurements of the recipe. :)
can you tell me what is in the powder that you use in the black tea please?
Yes, it is the dry mix that includes all of the ingredients for "black soap".
it's on amazon, ingredient list: www.amazon.com/Shea-Terra-100-African-Black/dp/B0086QHNFA?th=1
Cool DIY! Is the powder just as beneficial as the real thing?
+UniQuely Shannon Designs In my opinion yes and no. It gets the job done but it's not the same authentic process and I think that may limit maximum benefits.
Hi Brandi,
Would you say that this soap is as good as imported African Black Soap?
Hi, I would say this soap works wonderfully but is not the same as imported black soap. I like using the one I make because I can make a lot of it and it feels more affordable, plus it really works!

I need help. I am a fist timer and I tried a crock pot black African soap recipe and I missed a step. I melted my palm oil and shea butter in the crock then added my own ash/ oil and began with my stick blender. I should of blended before adding ash. Now it is not setting up. Can I fix this? Maybe turn it into shampoo? Any suggestions?
Hi Tammy, I unfortunately only make cold processed soap so I am unsure about the crock pot method. Maybe try to melt it down and start over? ?? best of luck and creativity. :)
where could one purchase the black soap or black soap powder?
On amazon.com or etsy.com if ou prefer not to make it at home.
wow. too cool. thanks. :)
You are very welcome!
can you list the ingredients and where I can find them?
+chantel jeanbaptiste There should be a link in the description box that takes you to the full recipe. :)

hi I'm a beginner. could you please tell me the measurements?
The link to the recipe card is in the description box, if you would like the written measurements and additional tips. :0)

How much black soap powder should I use for this recipe?
The info is available in the e-book, just click the link.
does it really need lye
I have heard traditional black soap does not use lye but you would have to pull the exact same ingredients being sourced in Africa to match the traditional method.
I don't understand how it's cross contamination isn't soap supposed to clean?
Not to eat. It's natural but when the soap has not cured it can be dangerous if eaten by accident.
Have you looked up the negative effects of palm oil on our environment? If you haven't I recommend it :(
Yes, I have. I have altered this recipe to discontinue any Palm Oil. Now it's just Cocoa Butter. :)
Brandi Jackson Wellness Awesome!!! thank you 💕
There are sources for Palm Oil that are not killing orangutans
saborguerito Yes, but the majority of it is and there's no way of knowing which source it's derived from just by your ingredients label. It's better to just leave it out altogether, yeah?
Actually, there is a way - you purchase from cosmetic ingredients companies that only purchase Certified Sustainable Palm Oil ... please see this link www.rspo.org/about/sustainable-palm-oil
"cure"....meaning?
+Michele Davis More Cure, treat, prevent.... :)
+Brandi Jackson but prevent what exactly? what happens during the curing process that allows it to be better after that point versus right away?
Oh, I understand your question better now. Curing is a process for the soap to continue soaponification where all of the excess water evaporates to make the soap last longer instead of dissolving in water. If you want to make soap that can be used right away try Hot Process soap making, it doesn't need curing time. :)
Hi,
Hot process soap does need some curing time, the water does need to evaporate from the soap, experts say give it 2-3 weeks. it depends on how much of a water discount you give, the less water, the less cure time, but HP soap also goes through a saponification process during and after it is put in the mold ( In some cases). I have always wanted to make a African black soap with wood ash! it would be so awesome to be able to see the real deal
You know, if you want a diy on how to make black soap, and it is supposed to be from scratch, don't use African black soap powder. You are supposed to teach us how to make it, and not use powders
