HANDCRAFTED · ALL-NATURAL · SOFTENING

AWEMO is our softening black soap — the traditional cocoa-ash-and-palm-kernel base whipped with shea butter for a creamier, more conditioning cleanse. It detoxifies like classic black soap but leaves skin feeling soft instead of tight.

The added shea makes it ideal for normal-to-dry skin, or anyone who finds regular black soap a little stripping.

Best for

Normal-to-dry skin that wants a deep but comfortable, moisturizing cleanse.

How to use it

Lather a small amount between wet hands or a cloth, massage over face or body, then rinse. New to black soap? Start every other day and build to daily.

What’s in it

Cocoa pod ash, palm kernel oil, shea butter (Butyrospermum parkii).

What’s not

No parabens, sulfates, phthalates, SLS/SLES, or synthetic fragrance. Vegan and cruelty-free.

How to Use
  • Always use a washcloth or loofah, especially when using African Black Soap, as it can help enhance the soap's exfoliating benefits and break down cocoa shell pod particles sometimes found in the soap. Just be sure to use a clean washcloth or loofah each time you use the soap to avoid spreading bacteria.
  • Wet your body with warm water.
  • Rub the Merin Kind African Black Soap bar or paste into the washcloth or loofah to create a lather.
  • Apply the lather to your body, focusing on areas that need extra attention.
  • Use a washcloth or loofah to scrub your skin in circular motions gently. This will help to exfoliate dead skin cells and unclog pores.
  • Rinse your body thoroughly with warm water.
  • Pat your skin dry with a clean towel.
  • Follow up with your favorite Merin Kind moisturizer to keep your skin soft and supple.
