I was born and raised in the Bronx, the first generation daughter of parents from Ghana and Nigeria.
Shea butter and black soap were always in our home. Sitting on bathroom shelves, tucked into cabinets, passed around without much thought. Back then I did not fully appreciate what I had. To me they were just things my parents used — ordinary, unremarkable, and were distinctly " African."
It took becoming a mom — and dry skin that nothing seemed to fix — for me to find my way back to them. It allowed me to create moments for myself that helped me feel like me, again.
As a nurse practitioner I knew what my skin needed. I understood ingredients, I understood barrier repair, I understood what nourishes versus what simply sits on top and does nothing. But every product I picked up either had ingredients I did not trust or smelled like something I did not want on my body. Clean and luxurious felt impossible to find together.
So I made it myself.
Soapy Girl is more than body care.
It’s a reminder that even in the busiest seasons, you deserve softness, care, and a moment that is yours. 🩷
I purchased for my mom and friend and they both loved the product, told me they now use it everyday and it replaced a lot of their other products. They are now asking how they can get more. I would recommend to everyone.
I am in love with Soapy Girl Cashmere Luxury hand and body cream. That is my repeat order. I decided to add Morning Silk and it is divine. Less sweet but light and dreamy. Been my night time go to. All of her soaps are delicious too.
I am so grateful for Soapy Girl. My family and I often have a difficult time finding products these days with everything on the market claiming to be "organic" and "hypoallergenic". These products are amazing in every way. They moisturize without over saturating and clogging your poor. They smell amazing without being overpowering to the senses. Most importantly it feels amazing on our skin as opposed to being fill with high concentrations of acids, alcohol, dyes, or artificial colors. These products are truly luxurious and I'm/We're Worth It. Thank you Soapy Girl
The soap was so amazing. It made my skin so soft and its relaxing to use. I would definitely recommend this as a great personal gift to yourself and even a better gift for anyone. You won't be disappointed. Its worth it since its handmade with love.
This is my second jar and that is because it is my favorite shea butter thus far! It smells so delicious!! It makes you just want to melt into the next destination whether it being in your clothes and out the door or no clothes at all and in the bed!
My husband and son gave me a setfor my birthday. Everything smells so delicious! Such a luxurious experience!
