Acne & African Black Soap
African black soap has natural anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties that deeply and gently cleanse the skin. The ash in the soap helps to exfoliate clearing clogged pores and balancing the skin's natural oils. Over drying the skin can trigger oil and sebum production. The soap works to keep skin hydrated without any overproduction of oils.

Our Founder
Having had sensitive skin, psoriasis & eczema from a young age, our head scientist & founder ‘Kokoa' always struggled to find suitable products to take care of her skin. Existing products were either overloaded with chemicals - flaring up her skin sensitivity, or were completely ineffective in aiding the health of her skin longterm. Her father returned from a trip to her homeland Ghana, with Traditional African Black Soap and 100% Shea butter to help her skin.
The results were unbelievable! Her eczema & psoriasis were calmed, eczema scarring drastically reduced within just 3 weeks, and acne was a thing of the past! Using her Biomedical Science studies from Kings College London, she studied and explored the world of natural beauty to understand why these products were so effective - researching, mixing, testing and began to formulate her own natural products. She has not had a flare-up of eczema or psoriasis since starting her natural skin journey in 2016. Kokoa was founded in 2017, using her own experience as the foundation.

very good 💞
I have ordered from Kokoa (2 bars at a time) three times now and it has worked wonders for my skin!! I used to have quite bad acne and dark marks but it has ALL cleared up!
This is my first experience with black soap, and I'm never going back. Nothing's ever cleared up my skin the way this has. I'd highly reccomend following it with an oil-based moisturizer even if you have oily skin (like me) since it's quite drying, my mask-acne disappeared within days and hasnt come back
Fast shipping & great communication from Kokoa Eco Beauty! Love the soap!! Its slowly improving my skin complexity. Leaves my skin feeling so clean and smooth.
Didn’t receive the cute box thats in the picture, however, im not bothered because it came with information leaflet, providing me with necessary information and instructions.
Overall 5/5 product, Thank you!!
This product is great & made my skin look & feel lovely. My delivery came quick too & I was kept well informed.
