Talk:African black soap

Potash?
"First, they sun-dry the plant matter, such as plantain skins, palm tree leaves, cocoa pods and shea tree bark, and burn it to ash."

This sounds like potash in the traditional sense. The fact that they're reacting it with fats to form a soap seems to back this up. Is it okay to just go ahead and call it that?Nlburgin (talk) 21:04, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Eh, maybe it would be confusing, since potash today usually refers to potassium minerals from underground. I will just link to ash instead.Nlburgin (talk) 21:12, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
