Here’s a quick lesson in skincare history: In West Africa, traditional black soap is made by mixing the ash and barks of local plants with healing oils. Rich in vitamins A and E, it’s become prized by women around the world for its abilities to battle blemishes and the signs of skin aging. This rich cleansing and exfoliating bar from Shea Terra Organics is the real deal. Made with USDA-certified organic ingredients, it retains all the medicinal benefits of the original African soap.
This soap is fabulous for acne-prone skin. Full disclosure, I've also used it on my back and chest to prevent body acne, and it works just as well. And you can't beat the price for the quality! My only cons with this soap are that it creates a real mess in the tub (because of the black color) and that it's a bar soap. That might not be a downside for some; I'm just not a huge fan of bar soap. Even so, I used the entire bar and will repurchase!
5I bought this because it sounded interesting and I needed a few more dollars in my cart in order to get free samples. Best decision! I haven't used bar soap since I was a kid, you know before body washes and liquid soap became the thing. Don't be put off by the brown color it produces when you start lathering up. Anyways, it's incredible! I just started using it about a week ago, I have already noticed a change in my skin. It looks healthier and my skin tone seems to be improving. It makes my face feel very clean. I am absolutely glowing!
5I bought this soap to get order total to a point I could score some freebies. Accidentally ordered 2, and BOY am I glad I did! It's got a very light, sandalwoodish smell. At least that's what I thought. The exfoliation is more evident after about 3-4 uses. It's helped with controlling the break outs around my shoulders and face doesn't feel dry and tight after use.
5This bar soap is so effective! It's drastically reduced my acne and evened my skin tone. I use it in combination with the shea terra black African soap with rose hips. I use that soap first as a 10 minute mask and rinse. I then follow with this bar soap as a simple cleanse and rinse. Honestly this whole line has been life changing.
