Product Description

Some of the Benefits of black soap - Helps deep clean skin. - Works on most skin types including rough and dry or sensitive skin - Helps clear skin bumps and spots - Helps relieve acne, oily skin & other skin problems. - Great for removing makeup - Works against premature facial lines and wrinkles - Can be lathered and used as a shampoo. Usage of the Black African Soap Break off a bar-size piece from the bulk, then press it to shape with your hands, or use it as is. Rub the bar between your hands (or on a washcloth would also work), then rub your soapy hands on your skin and hair. (If you rub the bar on your hair, it will get hair stuck to the bar.) Black soap absorbs water easily, so keep it from sitting in water or it will dissolve away. The soap holders covered with little vertical fingers work well. Because this soap is softer than commercial soap, it comes off the bar more easily, so less rubbing of the bar is needed to release enough soap. When you start another bar, just push the old soap sliver onto the new piece and the two will easily unite; leaving no waste. How to Store the Black African Soap Pure traditional African black soap is a soft milled soap and has very high natural glycerin content. As a result, it readily absorbs moisture from the air. It must be stored in a dry location or in a sealed plastic bag or it will become soft as it absorbs moisture. Black soap exposed to the air will have a thin white colored film. This film is not mold it is caused by absorption of water from the air. This can be avoided by keeping the soap in a dry location away from moisture until ready for use. Ingredients: Traditional Black Soap contains mainly cocoa pod ashes, plantain skins ashes, and palm oil, processed together.

This was my first time buying African Black Soap...had heard so much about it and wanted to give it a try. Many places on the net sell it...but I wasn't sure of making a purchase until I saw the low price on Amazon. The seller even ships PRIORITY mail...which is a plus!!! I've been using this soap for about 2 weeks and I also use it with coconut oil. My skin is GLOWING!!! No commercial soap or cleanser has made my skin look like this before. Will definitely be a repeat customer as long as the price stays low!

5.0 out of 5 stars Understand what you're purchasing-- PLEASE READ January 25, 2012

I have sensitive skin that dries easily, so for as long as I can remember I've been on the hunt for a soap I could call my own.

Here's the skinny:

If you're used to chemical ridden market soaps like Dove or caress, then you're not going to understand Raw African soap until you research the benefits. Purchasing this without a glue then hating it is illogical. Understand that this is RAW ash soap full of natural agents that heal both face and body from the outside in.

Because this soap is ASH, its black and has a unique smell. In my opinion the smell is just fine, but some may find it too unusual and disagreeable. Again, I think the smell is completely natural and acceptable and feel any objection may be due to one unfairly comparing it to commercial soap.

More often than not this soap comes in block form. This is how it is made and distributed in Africa. To keep the price reasonable the same form is distributed in the US. If you want a factory to sit and carve this stuff into squares then you're asking for a ridiculous mark up. So, if the size is your complaint consider practicing some self sufficiency and cutting the block yourself.

The lather is amazing! A small piece could easily wash your entire body from head to toe. The soap will create a light but smooth foam that will coat and cleanse your body. Within time the average person will notice improvements in their skin condition. Like I said before I have sensitive skin so almost everything leaves me dry; this soap does strip a little as any soap will, but it causes no where near the damage commercial soaps or high lanolin/glycerin soaps will cause. I recommend rubbing your body with coconut oil daily no matter what soap you use.... This will help maintain your glow and will minimize stripping.

Some say they use this on their hair. That option isn't exactly for me as I have really curly afro-bohemian hair and therefore need something a little better suited and ph balanced with acidity, but if you have Caucasian style hair this may work well for you. I feel it will leave a good clean and a good portion of your natural sebum.

Over all, I love this soap. It's completely feminine in nature. I feel Egyptian Goddesses must have used this, it's just so luxurious and complete in its form. Now, it's not magic so don't get super worked up, but it is an amazing soap with incalculable nourishing benefits. And of course you can't beat the cost! Research the product and give it a fair try :), and ALWAYS make sure your purchases support fair trade :-). Read more ›

This soap worked great on acne prone skin. I found the raw black soap to be more effective and less harsh than the natural black 'bar' soap. Shipped within days and worked wonders!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Drying Soap! April 13, 2011

By SimplyUnique

This soap is great! First its natural, second it is veryy drying. That might seem like a bad thing but when you have acne issues, its great. I saw a video on YouTube where the lady washes her face with African black soap, applies a thin layer of 100% Shea butter, and then applies a thin layer of African black soap on the acne (at night). In the morning, the acne has dried up considerably. Great tip! Loved the video, lovee this soap!

By diana gamez

I found this soap at a flea market in Jacksonville fl.,sold by a husband and wife from ghanna this along w/shea butter. They demonstrated how it works using small amount of soap (penny size) and water...which btw, you dont have to rinse off your body if you dont want too...freaky I know! they told me that its good for dry skin,oily skin, acne,you can shave & even wash your hair with it (btw,I dont recomend it) the soap is hypoalerginic, all natural & leaves no soapy residue on your skin. I was very skeptical at first sounded like a guy/girl who had a great sales gimic goin on. Fortunatly for me, they were freinds of my boyfriend and I got a sample for free along w/the shea butter. so, I took home the odd looking miricle soap& shea butter and put it to the test....to my surprise it did everything it said it doese. Im NOT an easy sell not by anymeans, I made sure to use it for everything including my hair... I shaved my legs with it & worked as well as the pricey shave lotions I use and soap bar on my intuition razor. It didnt irritate my skin at all. I had acne on my left cheek; i washed with a bath rag, the black soap dried out the acne and 2 days later it was gone. I washed my hair and although it left my scalp clean the rest of my hair an oily yukky mess. I have to say this soap is amazing it works wonderful on my sensitive skin. Its odor free and it left absolutly no soapy residue on my body! The only thing to remember is this soap isnt shaped into a bar so you will have to shape it yourseslf... I love it :) As far as the Shea butter goese? I recomend it if you have dry skin ideal for elbows & feet where the skin can very dry. Its good stuff :) If you would like to know where you can get some shoot me an email at [e-mail]
