We handmake our soaps with generous amounts of nourishing and moisturising plant oils in the "old fashioned traditional way" in small batches.  Mix until our arms can not take it anymore, leave to set, cut into bars and leave to cure.

The curing process is never rushed. It takes a long time [anything from 4 weeks ….] to ensure that you use a very gentle soap.  Oh, and the beauty of this is that the glycerine is all intact to keep the moisture levels balanced.

Each bar or liquid soap is made with you in mind with skin loving + hair friendly oils - we never rush it nor cut corners.

Rather than hiding behind the “natural” jargon, we do make it NATURAL focusing on ethically sourced plant oils and ingredients which work in harmony with your skin + wellbeing.


We pride ourselves making soap which is

  • ethical
  • cruelty-free
  • vegan friendly
Be kind to your skin
Be gentle with your hair

Purchased this as alternative to my usual allenblackia that was out of stock (I probs bought them all anyway) and it’s great, long lasting if stored accordingly after each use. And skin feels soft and smooth with no dryness. 10/10

DOES NOT CAUSE ANY IRRITATION

This soap is the ONLY soap that doesn't cause any irritation or dryness on my skin after use.
Normally I wash my face every other day or 3 days due to how drying most cleansers and soaps can be, but this one work perfectly. It's still too early for me to comment on the long term benefits. But the soap does clean relatively well, it doesn't produce plenty of lather and my face is always soft after using it.

For heavier makeup, I would recommend removing makeup with oil first or using a stronger cleanser. But this cleanser is perfect for general cleaning and can be used daily, with no problem.

I also really love applying their aloe vera gel straight after using this.

Shipping is quite quick too. I'd definitely purchase this product again.

Great for blemishes and dark spots

I’ve only just started using this soap for TWO days, and I had to come on here to review it because it’s THAT good!
After two usages, the blemishes and dark spots around my mouth which I’ve had for a long time (I think it could’ve been perioral dermatitis) are disappearing in front of my very eyes! And if any spots do appear, they don’t last more than a day.

I use argan oil to moisturise my face after using the papaya soap, and my skin is left feeling so soft and rejuvenated and I wake up with moisturised and soft skin in the morning.

Truly can’t recommend it enough, thank you so much Akua and your lovely team back in Ghana for making such wonderful products!

Great for breakouts

I grew up eating this fruit in southern Africa. We called it pawpaw. Little did I know that it would be the answer to keeping my face free of breakouts.
After only 4 weeks of using this soap my skin has a more even skin tone.

Genius creation. Highly recommend this product.
