Our Afro Botanicals Triple Butter Soap is pure indulgence in a bar! This soap is a celebration of all things butter with Shea Butter, Mango Butter and Cocoa Butter being the stars. These 3 butters have a deep and vast history within African cultures. This luscious soap is scented with notes of creamy coconut, vanilla and sweet lemon for a bathing experience that’s both luxurious and refreshing. 

Shea Butter comes from the nut of the shea tree and has been used in Africa for thousands of years. Shea butter is very rich in fat and has been shown to have *antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Mango Butter comes from the seeds of the mango fruit. It is very rich in fatty acids. A study has shown that mango butter has potential *wound-healing and skin-protective properties. 

Cocoa Butter comes from the cacao tree, the same tree which gives us cocoa beans for chocolate. Cocoa butter contains polyphenols, a group of plant compounds which acts as antioxidants. These polyphenols have been shown to *exhibit a positive effect on skin elasticity and firmness.

Our Triple Butter Soap is a relaxing addition to your bathing routine. Its aroma of coconut and sweet lemon will transport you to your happy place in an instant. Enjoy!
