Product Notes:
African Black Soap features Osun or cam wood, which is from the medicinal Baphia nitida tree and contains curative anti-microbial and anti-bacterial properties, along with Shea butter and other moisturizers which will clean and moisturize your face and body without stripping away all your skin's natural oils.
Black soap is the only variety of soap that is made without containing lye. It does contain vitamins A and E and iron, however, thanks to its plantain peel powder content. Scientific research has also show that another one of its constituents, Osun (also known as African Sandalwood), is able to eradicate high concentrations of disease-causing micro-organisms. Traditionally in West Africa, Osun is used topically to treat skin infections and ringworm.
This soap is gentle enough for all ages, and can be used everywhere from the hair on your head down to the tips of your toes, in place of a shampoo, hand or body wash, or facial cleanser. It is ideal for travel or camping as well as for everyday use.
It is available either as a bar, or in liquid form (wherein the bar is grated by hand, mixed into a liquid, and accompanied with a splash of lemongrass essential oil).

Suggested Usage:
Massage over damp/wet skin and rinse thoroughly. If desired, leave on skin for a minute or two before rinsing. Softer than traditional soaps, you may want to keep the bar soap stored in a sealed container or baggie when not in use to prevent it absorbing moisture from the air and becoming overly soft.
