Now, here’s a little secret—blackstrap molasses!

This kitchen staple is packed with skin-loving properties, rich in vitamins and minerals that nourish and improve skin health.

How does blackstrap molasses benefit your skin?
• It’s a natural humectant, helping your skin retain moisture for a plump, hydrated glow.
• It’s loaded with antioxidants that fight free radical damage, keeping your skin youthful.
• Its anti-inflammatory properties help soothe irritated skin.

How to include blackstrap molasses in your beauty routine:
You can apply blackstrap molasses directly to your face as a deep treatment mask—apply a thin layer, leave it on for 20-30 minutes, and rinse with warm water for a natural glow. It hydrates, soothes, and brightens your skin.

It’s also great for your hair! Mix 1-2 tablespoons of blackstrap molasses with coconut oil and 2 tablespoons of plain yogurt. Apply evenly to damp hair, focusing on the roots and ends. Let it sit for 20-30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with warm water before shampooing and conditioning as usual. This treatment helps nourish your hair, adds shine, and combats dryness, leaving it healthier and stronger.

Blackstrap molasses is one of the key ingredient in our handmade Osé Gidi Black Soap, known for its exfoliating and deep-cleansing properties. It leaves your skin feeling refreshed and revitalised without the dryness. Our vegan moisturising base, enriched with vitamins A and E, along with the antioxidant power of Moringa powder, enhances skin radiance. The lactic acid in blackstrap molasses acts as a potent natural acne treatment.
