Quench African Black Soap All-Over Body Wash – Traditionally made in Ghana, West Africa where it is known as Alata Samina, black soap is a natural cleanser for body, face, and hair. The basic recipe is centuries old, and has been handed down over the generations with slight variations in ingredients depending on what is locally available and the preference of the maker. Quench’s version is made from cocoa pods dried under the hot African sun and then roasted in a clay oven. The roasting time of the cocoa pods determines the color of the soap. Next, the roasted pods are mixed with coconut oil to create a nourishing and gentle soap with naturally antiseptic properties. The cocoa pods make the soap particularly good for sensitive skins; the pods are rich in vitamins A and E. Black Soap is especially recommended for young, mature and tender skin and is prized for its antiseptic properties. Our gentle Black Soap All-Over Body Wash will leave your skin and hair smooth and soft without any chemicals, fragrances, or preservatives.


Quench Shea Butter Oil All-Over Body Moisturizer - Shea Butter Oil is shea butter fractionated into stearin and olein to create shea oil. Shea butter is a slightly greenish natural fat extracted from fruit of the Shea tree by crushing and boiling. Shea butter is known for its cosmetic properties as a moisturizer and emollient and is a known anti-inflammatory agent. Shea butter has also been said to be effective at treating fading scars, eczema, burns, rashes, severely dry skin, blemishes, dark spots, skin discolorations, stretch marks and wrinkles. Shea butter provides natural UV sun protection although the level of protection is extremely variable, ranging from none at all to approximately SPF3, and should not be relied on. Shea oil can be found in very high end cosmetic and skin care products and is often used on its own or in lotions, body scrub, and hair oil formulations.
