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.
