Oil-Controlling African Soap Cleaners

This Shea Moisture Cleanser Clears and Balances Problem Skin

— January 24, 2018 — Fashion
Those with oily and acne-prone skin who feel like they've tried every product on the market to no avail might just find that the answer for their problems lies in this new Shea Moisture cleanser, which uses powerful African black soap as a key ingredient.

As African black soap tends to contain plantain extract, which is full of antibacterial properties, the ingredient is helpful to chose who often suffer from acne breakouts. In addition, the ingredient is able to gently cleanse the skin while deeply exfoliating, making it great for those with skin issues such as rosacea, dryness, and excess oil. Apart from African black soap, the new Shea Moisture cleanser is infused with tamarind extract and tea tree oil, which help to calm and sooth.
Trend Themes
1. African-black-soap Skincare - The rise of African black soap as a key ingredient in skincare offers disruptive opportunities for brands to introduce more natural and plant-based solutions to address skin problems like acne, rosacea, and excess oil.
2. Antibacterial Skincare - Antibacterial properties found in plant-based ingredients like plantain extract present an opportunity for brands to develop skincare products that offer deeper cleansing and skincare benefits beyond basic hydration and moisturization.
3. Exfoliating Cleansers - The popularity of exfoliating cleansers that feature natural ingredients like African black soap presents opportunities for skincare brands to develop products that provide added benefits such as gentle exfoliation for brighter, clearer skin.
Industry Implications
1. Skincare Industry - The skincare industry can capitalize on the rise of plant-based skincare ingredients to create new lines of antibacterial, exfoliating, and oil-controlling products to meet the growing demand for more natural solutions to skin problems.
2. Natural Beauty Industry - The natural beauty industry can leverage the benefits of African black soap and other natural plant-based ingredients to offer consumers effective, eco-friendly alternatives to conventional skincare products that rely on harsh chemicals.
3. Acne Treatment Industry - The acne treatment industry can take advantage of the antibacterial properties of African black soap and plantain extract to develop new products that offer gentler, more natural solutions for acne-prone skin that are effective without being harsh or irritating.
