Some days are reserved for baking rather than soap making π.
Today, I rescued Queenieβs bananas that cried out between the fruit basket and the food bin.
Fresh from the oven and the kitchen smells good!
Throwback to making this custom lampshade featuring an eye catching African wax print.

The best motivation comes from our customers!
What makes our black soap different is the quality of our ingredients. Using authentic ingredients including Allanblackia allows us to create versions of black soap that truly stand out for their effectiveness.
As a soapmaker, I understand the science and the soul behind a good bar.
Seeing how much you value these specific blends makes all the hours spent perfecting my craft worth it.
At Sheabutter Cottage, we have no plans to stop providing the quality you love π±

Some things are truly worth the wait.
We are delighted to announce that our Bamboo Soap is back in stock after a long absence.
This soap bar possesses a subtle, earthy natural scent that feels grounding and clean without being overpowering.
The bamboo works gently on the skin, providing a soft exfoliation that clears away dullness and leaves your skin feeling smooth, balanced and clean.

Also back in stock is our unscented banana soap. Made with a generous amount of pure shea, Miss Watson describes it as "it smells divine and is VERY moisturising (I literally just took my shower with it). Shame it isn't edible, lol.".
As always, this is handmade in small batches so grab yours today :)

Worth the wait.
Our shea oats + lavender soap is finally back in stock after a long break and a full 6+ week cure for a long-lasting, gentle bar.
Handmade with unrefined Ghanaian shea butter (supporting Jilima Coop), soothing oats, calming lavender and turmeric traditionally used to support a natural-looking glow.
This is a simple, nourishing bar designed for everyday skin comfort.
Available again in small batches and once it is gone, it may be a while before restock.
