A Note on Texture

Due to the handmade nature of African Black Soap, shape, texture, and color will vary with each bar. The bar is semi-soft and may be slightly crumbly, which is completely normal. Keep out of standing water between uses to preserve the bar.

How to Use

Lather in hands or with a cloth, then gently cleanse skin. Avoid leaving the soap in standing water between uses. Store in a cool, dry place to preserve freshness.
