Super Power Soap goes international! At the end of an essential trip to Ghana, West Africa in December, I carved out a morning to take a soap making class with a local instructor.
Hot process African Black Soap / Alata Samina Soap is a common type of soap in Ghana. It is a natural soap made from the ashes of cocoa pods and plantain banana peels, water, and oils. My teacher described this soap as antimicrobial and more alkaline than other soaps. Enjoy the highlights of this experience and look out for a few more videos from this workshop in the playlist. Unfortunately, I unknowingly didn't capture sound and had to do voiceovers but you can still see the basic parts of the process.
Ingredients:
•Cocoa pod and plantain banana ashes
•Water
•Oil
Steps:
1. Mix water and potash
2. Heat oils on cooktop
3. Add potash/water solution to heated oils
4. Thoroughly hand mix the mixture
5. Allow mixture to bubble over and cook
6. Mix soap and continue cooking the soap until the texture thickens (45 minutes - 1.5 hours)
As a knowledgeable soap maker and soap making teacher, I got so much out of Justice's class. I had a great time expanding my knowledge about soap making practices, learning technical aspects about how soap is made, and learned about Ghana's local soap making ingredients and unique methods. This class is well suited for beginners and advanced soap makers.

Why soapmaking? Soap making brings me so much joy. It’s my happy place. I started making soap in 2014 and haven’t stopped since. Creating each batch of soap is an opportunity to make something unique, beautiful, and useful. I hope to spark the joy of soap making in your life.

Can you tell the measurements please!??

[@PaulAlaribe]

But you didn't mention and show the ingredients you used, Some of us are allergic to certain chemicals or materials

[@superpowersoap]

This video is more of a travel vlog instead of a traditional tutorial. I respect the instructor for this class, and it just didn't feel right putting his recipe up on TH-cam without permission. But if you type in "African black soap recipe" in the youtube search bar, you'll get a whole bunch of detailed tutorials. I made this soap once, and so I'm not an expert in this at all compared with someone like my excellent teacher. You should consider seeing a medical professional to help with any allergies you are encountering! Hope this helps!

[@anlasnature]

Pls is there caustic soda inside?

[@superpowersoap]

In this recipe, NO. There is no caustic soda. We used potash - a combination of plantain ashes and cocoa pod ashes.

[@AbdulKareemIkimat]

I want to do online course on how to do alata soap for more understanding how can I joint

[@superpowersoap]

I'll see about creating a video on this topic. Thank you for asking!

[@sandramaison2884]

Please what kind of oil did you use

[@superpowersoap]

We used coconut oil for this recipe.

[@expeditovalto7143]

E foi melhor processo do sabao preto, gostei muito foi por aqui que aprende

[@superpowersoap]

Eu também gosto do sabonete alata samina!

[@senihhines1]

Thank you for sharing this video. What are the measurements for the water, potash and oils for this recipe. I have dried my plantains, pods and leaves and will be making my own potash. I am just not sure of what amounts to use since I'm used to using sodium hydroxide (lye) to make my cold process soap. I don't know how to scale a recipe up or down since I have never used potash before. Thanks!

[@superpowersoap]

Hello Senihhines! I don't have an exact recipe to share. I do encourage you to seek out a workshop with an expert such as the Creators Foundation in Ghana (link in the video description). If this is not possible, I suggest making small test batches using a 100% Coconut Oil recipe and experimenting with the potash quantity until you are happy with the results. I have another hot process African Black soap video using lye where the dry potash is added after the cook: th-cam.com/video/dC6JybfmYck/w-d-xo.html

[@hotwater6803]

It is a good video, but what's the essence of Making the video if people cannot diy for themselves at home.
You said you were given lectures on how to do the soap But not given the measurements???
No instructions given during the making.
We just have to watch and know what to do?

[@superpowersoap]

@@hotwater6803 Hello, and thanks for sharing your point of view, hot Water!
Ghana is a beautiful country and this video gives an overview of what the soap making process is like with a master soap maker from there. I made the video because I wanted to share a really cool experience :). My hope is that people see this video and learn something new about soap making in Ghana.
Regarding a recipe - type in "african black soap recipe" into the TH-cam search bar. Many BRILLIANT soapmakers have shared DETAILED videos with recipes. Check them out and watch a variety of videos to learn the process that works best for your experience level! I still encourage you to learn soapmaking with locals to support these businesses and the soap making community!
Hope this helps and I welcome your views!
