Key Benefits
-
Deep cleanse + natural exfoliation: The signature African black soap base—loaded with cocoa‑pod ash, plantain ash and raw shea butter—works to remove dead skin cells, clarify pores and refresh the skin’s appearance.
-
Botanical skin‑support & aroma luxury: Ylang ylang (Cananga odorata) flower oil is added to elevate the sensory experience and support skin balance—known for helping normalize sebum production and offering an exotic, floral scent.
-
Soothing & nourishing texture: While deeply cleaning, the bar is formulated with raw shea butter and plant‑derived oils to avoid leaving the skin feeling stripped—helping preserve comfort and softness.
-
Clean‑beauty credentials: Free from sulfates, silicones and parabens. Suitable for all skin types according to the brand’s description.
-
Versatile for face & body: Whether used on your face, arms, back or body, this bar offers a multifunctional cleansing ritual steeped in tradition and elevated by fragrance and botanicals.
How to Use
-
Wet the bar and your skin (face and/or body).
-
Rub the soap between your hands or directly apply to a wash‑cloth or sponge to generate a light lather.
-
Massage gently onto your skin, focusing on areas that may need deeper cleansing or texture improvement.
-
Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Pat dry with a clean towel.
-
Follow with a moisturizer or body lotion if you want to lock in hydration and softness.
-
Use 2‑3 times per week (or as often as your skin tolerates) and alternate with gentler cleansers on other days if needed.
Ideal For
-
Skin types that benefit from deeper cleansing and exfoliation—oily, combination or textured skin.
-
Users who want a soap bar that combines skincare benefits with a luxury fragrance experience.
-
Those who appreciate heritage‑rich ingredients and eco‑conscious formulations (free of sulphates/silicones/parabens).
-
People seeking a face and body cleansing bar in one convenient format.
Additional Notes & Tips
-
Because this is a more active bar (due to ash/exfoliating base + aromatic oil), you may feel a slightly gritty texture or more tactile lather—this is normal and part of the cleansing experience.
-
If you have very sensitive skin or are newly shaved/irritated, patch test first or reduce contact time until your skin adjusts.
-
Store the bar on a well‑draining soap dish so it can dry between uses—African black soap bars tend to soften if left in standing water.
-
If you have textured skin (you’ve noted that your hair is thick and 4B‑4C texture), pairing this with a light non‑comedogenic body moisturizer could help maintain comfort after use.
-
For best results: integrate into your routine as a “deep cleanse” option and alternate with a milder daily cleanser."
