5.0 out of 5 stars Super Soap January 2, 2011

By Chelsea

What I like best about this soap is how it sloughs off dead skin cells with very little scrubbing required so it exfolliates without being abrasive like the gritty scrubs are. My pores on my face are very clean & have closed up so I have much smoother looking skin. One thing that surprised me was how all the clogged pores came to the surface over a couple of weeks use so they could be dealt with once & for all. It didn't break out or anything, but rather just brought blackheads to the top so they could come out. After that the pores closed & look terrific now. No more problem skin! I will say that it is very important to put a moisturizer on afterward. I tried the shea butter but in our humid warm climate that broke me out because it traps bacteria against the skin. I use a moisturizer that is all organic except adds a 1% "safe" preservative that is paraban free. Even if you have oily skin you must moisturize after using the black soap. While this soap is gentle, it is extremely thorough in cleaning so you need to put a thin veil of moisture back to allow your skin to seal itself after this pore cleaning experience. I absolutely LOVE this soap for my body & soaking my feet in a solution of it to soften heels. My heels & elbows have not looked this good since I was a kid! All in all this is an excellent soap and the price is good as well. Just remember to roll it up in balls & place in a plastic sealed bag because this soap is not hard but a soft hard clay consistency. You will have to protect it from being wet. It's very easy to use too much soap because a tiny bit of water will gather off a LOT of soap on your hands or cloth. After a few uses I got used to using about 1/4 of what I use of normal soap because this soap is super rich & lathers great. Can't say enough good about this stuff! (no I was not paid for this... just a happy customer!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Works wonders both as a soap and a shampoo August 10, 2010

I have been using this soap for little over a month, and so far it has worked like charm.
I apply it both as a body soap AND a shampoo, which I would not think would normally be possible... from my understanding majority of soaps, even the "natural" or organic ones are just a bit too harsh for the hair.
Not this one - it does not dry out the hair, nor does it leave any sticky/greasy residue, that would make the hair look or feel limp.
Just cleans it out thoroughly, makes it feel very light-weight and manageable, and leaves very clean, neutral scent.

Same for the soap part: the presence of shea butter helps to prevent potential drying out of the skin, so it almost works as a moisturizer while it cleans thoroughly - once again, with no build up or soapy residue left on the skin.

The product comes in a (very lightweight) block, that is easy to break apart. Since it has tendency to absorb the moisture easily, I just keep the bulk of it in a Ziplock bag, and dissolve several pieces into a plastic bottle with a flip top and use it as a liquid soap.

Highly recommended for its versatility and effectiveness!!

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT June 28, 2010

I will never use store bought soap ever again. It is so cleansing, but in such a gentle way. After using it for about 2 days I saw a radiance in my skin that was not there prior to using this soap. It is truley a wonderful product that will benefit anyone who uses it.
