Please note that because our soaps are hand-poured and cut by a master craftsman, size and shape tends to vary.

You are going feel your body thank you for its moisturizing effect and all natural contents. Do not keep its beauty to yourself, share with others!
Artisan who makes this product
Meet Niendow the soap maker (pronounced “NIN-doe”; his name means ‘one who returns’). We found his soap before we met him: Traveling to Northern Ghana, an area known for its shea butter, titanic termite mounds and veta vera baskets, we were handed Niendow’s soap by our hostess with the words ‘try this and you will never use any other soap’. The appearance of the soap did not seem to match her words; it was not particularly good looking and was roughly cut and seemed to have seeds in it. It was made with the oil of the Neem tree, aka the “Divine Tree,” “Heal All,” “Nature’s Drugstore,” or “Village Pharmacy”. This oil is used locally to treat acne, to keep skin elastic, and to repel mosquitoes. We took turns sniffing it, it smelt like shea butter and something else, an herb? We decided to try it out of courtesy to our hostess. When we did we wanted to meet Niendow immediately and buy every soap he might have – which turned out not to be much.
