Question 1

How is this for a face wash

Accepted Answer

I use it on a daily basis as my face wash....its great for the skin, especially for people with acne issues. It removes my mascara pretty easily too. Just be aware that black soap is a bit drying, so make sure to moisturize afterwards....but then again, I have dry skin issues with my face so maybe it varies from person to person.

Question 2

How is it orangutan safe if it's made of palm kernel?

Accepted Answer

"Our natural West African palm oil is grown and harvested by small-scale farmers in the Maritime region of Togo, from the town of Tsevie to Kpalime. The oil is extracted by our Fair Trade cooperative in Sokodé using traditional methods. When palm oil is grown as an industrial plantation crop, such as in Indonesia and Malaysia on newly cleared rainforests or peat-swamp forests rather than on already degraded land or disused agricultural land, it can contribute
to the endangerment of animals such as the Orangutans. However, this is not the case with the small farms that we receive our palm oil from in Africa. Oil palms are native to West Africa and have been grown as part of multi-cropped sustainable small farms for centuries. It's also important to point out that Orangutans do not exist in Africa." -Alaffia's official website, FAQ section
