Shea butter is great, and since african black soap made with 100% shea, it retain some of it beneficial properties... I keep shea with me all the time, small tin in my purse, lol. It works on dry hands, chapped lips, insects bites, burns, it really neat... More info on shea you can find here:

Cali, thank you fo compliments on my labels... I drew lady by hand, and converted it into vector art later... I like the hand-drawn effect, since I wanted the look to be more whimsical/cool, and not upscale/corporate...
I do a lot of packaging at work, and a lot of graphics for soapers all around the world, too... It cool to be graphic designer and soaper at same time
Alli, I've heard of coal soap, too... But I never used one... So I cannot comment on that...
Man I would
LOVE to see all the neat packaging. In fact, maybe I'll work on an article for it here. I also love the funky/fun home-touch versus the corporate look. For example, "Dirty Girl" cosmetics has that fun/decorative look.Check out their fun style; it is reminiscent of yours and ROCKS in the decor dept:
