Ok who was it that recommended African black soap recently......

[LadyPenny]

Cos you are a bloody marvel.
I decided to get some to see if it helped 13 year old DS spots.
I tried it as well and after only 3 days my skin looks amazing. It seems much tighter and younger looking.
I am a total convert. Not too expensive either.

Oh and DSs spots look dryer as well.

[Ohwhatfuckeryisthis]

I've just ordered some with added oats and aloe for my ds acne. read reviews that said the pure stuff can be quite harsh, but aloe vera is good to make it mlder.

A lot of palm oil is gathered in Indonesia, in the forests where orang-outangs dwell (or rather, increasingly don't dwell as their population is decimated by the world's demand for palm oil in cosmetics and food)

[StepAwayFromTheEcclesCakes]

Ok so I bought it but am scared to use on my face, I break a bit off and use in the shower. Is it ok on faces?

[tulipsaredelicious]

I'll check out the akoma one, anchovies. Thanks. Sounds fab.

[anchovies]

Akoma sell one that is organic/fairtrade and no palm oil. Haven't tried it though.

[AlpacaYourThings]

Have a look at this on Palm Oil.

[LadyPenny]

Yes stepaway that's the one.

[LadyPenny]

Mine does have palm oil, bugger. Why is it bad?. I think my ethics may be seriously tested.

[LadyPenny]

The one I got is 90 gms for &2.99 seller is Naissance. I bought 3 bars and the postage was only a £1.00.

I didn't know palm oil was bad I'm just going to check mine.

[AlpacaYourThings]

Oh, I wouldn't use anything with Palm oil in it.

[Stepawayfromthezebras]

This is the one that was recommended recently in this thread

[tulipsaredelicious]

Juat noticed the Akamuti one says it's fairtrade but doesn't have the fairtrade stamp. I'm sceptical.

[tulipsaredelicious]

Look at the negative review on that link. That version includes palm oil - very bad from an ecological point of view.

[tulipsaredelicious]

I just had a look. How do you tell which is the real deal? The Akamuti one is fair trade.

Is that it LadyPenny? (Not sure if you can see the link on your phone but thought I would try)

[LadyPenny]

Can't do links on phone but its from Amazon. Yes it is ok for sensitive skin. It's made from all natural ingredients. Smells a bit strange but that's because there's no perfume in it. There's no smell after using it. Apparently it's great for hair as well.

[Sammie101]

Link please

[AlpacaYourThings]

Could you link it, please?

[3littlefrogs]

Oooh - could you give more info please?

[ShotgunNotDoingThePans]

Would it be good for sensitive skin, do you think?

[EirikurNoromaour]

Is this rhasoul? The stuff made from olive oil or something? If so, it's amazing. If you do a really thorough body scrub before using it you will end up with the most amazing skin.

[AgentProvocateur]

Ooh, where do you buy that? Sound amazing.
