Black Soap

The internet told me it is made of roasted plantain leaves, shea butter, cocoa pods, cocoa butter, palm kernel oil, and other things. Or maybe not. The list seems to vary quite a bit. So does the information on how its made. But the end result always seems to be a dark cloddy mix of stuff, and it’s awesome.
I must admit I wasn’t expecting it to lather, so I was rather surprised when it did. It is a proper saponified soap, so I guess I should feel a bit foolish for thinking it wouldn’t. The lye comes from the roasted plantain leaves.
