What is Nigerian Dudu Soap?
Nigerian Dudu soap is a traditional African soap that is usually made from a combination of plantain skins, palm kernel oil, and cocoa pod ash. The plantain skins are dried and then roasted in an iron pot, after which they are mixed with palm kernel oil and cocoa pod ash.

Cosmetologists ad more natural plants and oils to match specific skin types and tones, and placed in jars that could last it's user a month. Although the women use this soap more often than men, if you are a guy, you can also use this soap.
