For people wondering about potage/potash: Potash is the common name for potassium carbonate and various mined and manufactured salts that contain the element potassium in water-soluble form. Food grade potash is safe for human consumption and contains vital elements (also good for fertilizer). However, it is important as she said to let the pH balance by leaving the lid of. Science 🥰

This explains part of why I had so much trouble with black soap shampoos... I didn't realize it had those oils in it. My scalp doesn't like castor at all. There are so many things I have to avoid for my scalp to not scream at me 😩😩😩

Sorry to hear that. Castor oil isn't usually used to make black soap. Traditionally Shea butter or Shea oil and/or palm oil are used. Feel free to customize and use any oil your scalp agrees with or check the ingredients before you buy a ready made one. Good luck🙂

@@nubiankmtwq6333 Oh, interesting. Yeah, my scalp has issues with stimulating oils and heavier oils. But honestly, I've had issues with lighter stuff too at times. It's part of the reason why I'm going towards washing my hair less in general (I have freeform dreadlocks and I don't use products in my hair) because my scalp was getting excessively dry after and my sebum production is way higher than it used to be as a result :/

I thought you were supposed to make it with palm kernel oil or bleached palm oil

I am a soap maker. I've always wanted to make ABS. I came across your original video a couple of weeks ago and was able to get some akanwu from my African grocery store. I made it last night. When you said it will smoke up the house, you weren't lying! But, wow, I have never made such an amazing soap. For those that don't know, potash is pot ash. It's ash from plants.

You forgot cocoa pod ash and plantain skin ash. In Africa the women clearly use Ash. I can't recommend this recipe to anyone.

Hmmmm tooo many steps for me and I consider I will be messing up my cookware in this process. I have some bars on reserve (I don't use it that much). SCIENCE!

You actually won't mess the cookware up. I make soap, and use old pots from the thrift store. It is a long process, ngl. I made it and even though it was more involved than how I usually make soap, I would definitely do it again. I bought all of my supplies from my local African grocery, so I feel like I'm supporting local business, but I'm also reconnecting with my ancestors.
