This ultra-gentle and deeply nourishing cleanser utilizes sustainably sourced ingredients like fair trade shea butter, Orangutan safe palm oil† and charcoal to clarify while reishi helps soften skin. After being triple milled for long lasting effects each bar is brought to saponification through potash made from plantain leaves before it's cooked for six hours and cured in sun light over three weeks - resulting in an effective yet gentle product suitable even for sensitive skin types free of sulfates.Alaffia's West African palm oil is sustainably sourced from small-scale farmers in the Maritime region of Togo. The traditional methods used to extract these oils allow for an ethical and Eco-friendly solution, as compared to industrial plantations found in other parts of the world that often result in deforestation or damage wildlife habitats such as those of Orangutans. This makes Alaffia’s solutions particularly valuable since they come natively grown on multi-cropped sustainable farms that have been operating successfully for centuries! Orangutans are a species exclusive to Asia, so viewers should be warned that the primates they encounter in Africa will not possess the iconic orange and black fur.These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
