Workshop: Making African Soap

Get creative and make your own fragrant soaps with Ada from Mali! This workshop has become a true audience favorite at Amsterdam Roots Festival and returns every year due to its great success.

Choose from different types of base soap—from transparent soap to rich, nourishing African black soap—and create your own unique blend. Add colors and scents such as blue lavender, red rosemary, or purple patchouli.

Finish your soap with special ingredients like African grasses, rose buds, and jasmine leaves. You might even give it a luxurious touch with a hint of gold leaf!

Come discover, mix, and create—and take your handmade soap home as a fragrant memory.
