Legend has it that black soap was favoured by Egyptian queen and celebrated beauty Cleopatra. It was then taken back to Italy by her lover and husband, Roman rulers Julius Caesar and Mark Antony.
Based on the recipe that has been handed down from these ancient times, this luxurious Italian soap has been made from the ash of African plants such as plantain and cocoa pods that deeply cleanse the skin without the abrasiveness of a scrub.
It has been further enriched with a fragrant blend of patchouli, pink pepper, hyacinth and jasmine.
