Bar - Pure & Natural Traditional Skincare for Face, Body & Hair | Handmade Cleanser for All Skin Types. Imported From Ghana. : Beauty & Personal Care Review: Absolutely love it. - I have used a lot of different soaps in my 50+ years and this one is the best so far. It leaves my skin squeaky clean, but not dried out. It lathers very well. It has a nice woody scent and it cleanses my hair. It removes all of the buildup but doesn’t strip the hair of its moisture and makes it easier to comb. Having 4C hair, that makes a big difference because you don’t have to add all of the creams and lotions just to comb through your hair while you wash it. The versatility of this soap is tremendous. I have also noticed it is lightening up my dark spots on my arms and legs from my eczema breakout. Thank you for a high quality product. Review: Works wonders for KP! - This is the only thing that has successfully gotten rid of the KP that I developed a few years ago. I’ve tried everything from prescription lactic acid lotion, hydrocortisone, Tretinoin, scrubs, Azelaic acid, glycolic acid, SA lotions, Urea creams, and etc. Something told me to try pure African black soap, so I tried this. After one use, the prickly-ness was gone, but the bumps were still there. After two uses, my arms were smoother with fewer bumps. The more I used it, the smoother my skin got. Note: I did have a setback after I stopped using this for a while and realized what was causing my KP, which was biotin WITH KERATIN supplements (biotin alone doesn’t cause my KP, only the addition of keratin in the supplement causes it for me). I realized this when I started back taking biotin with keratin supplements and thought back to when I first started experiencing KP, and sure enough, I had started taking a similar supplement with keratin in it around that time. Anyhow, I stopped the keratin supplement, but the KP was being stubborn, so I started using this black soap again and the healing process began. I’ve tried a few different black soaps (Shea Moisture and two different Moroccan Black soaps), but they don’t give the results of the Plant Guru Raw African Black Soap. ## Features - AFRICAN BLACK SOAP - Handcrafted in Ghana using a time-honored, traditional recipe passed down for generations, our African Black Soap provides a premium, all-natural cleansing solution suitable for every skin type. - 100% NATURAL INGREDIENTS - Formulated with only the finest natural ingredients—Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, Raw Cocoa Pods, Unrefined Palm Kernel Oil, Plantain Skin Ashes, Unrefined Shea Butter, Natural Vitamin E, and purified Water. - SKIN REJUVENATING - Suitable for all skin types, African Black Soap helps cleanse and exfoliate, leaving skin feeling smooth and refreshed. Regular use supports a healthy appearance by reducing buildup and impurities. - HAIR & SCALP - This clarifying cleanser effectively purifies the scalp, promoting healthy hair growth by removing dandruff, dirt, and impurities. Enriched with vitamins A and E, it helps reduce the buildup of dead skin cells that can hinder hair follicle health. - USAGE DIRECTIONS - Lather the soap with a sponge, loofah, or washcloth before applying to your desired area. Avoid applying directly to the skin. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07Z9MNV7R | | Active Ingredients | vitamin_e | | Additional Features | Anti-Ageing, Natural Ingredients, Organic, Unscented | | Age Range (Description) | All Ages | | Age Range Description | All Ages | | Best Sellers Rank | #16,212 in Beauty & Personal Care ( See Top 100 in Beauty & Personal Care ) #228 in Bath Soaps | | Brand | Plant Guru | | Brand Name | Plant Guru | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 2,973 Reviews | | Item Form | Bar | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Type Name | Soap | | Manufacturer | Plant Guru | | Manufacturer Part Number | PGBS | | Material Features | Cruelty Free, Natural, Organic | | Material Type Free | Artificial Color Free | | Model Name | IY-G7RP-NA8R | | Net Content Weight | 8 ounces | | Number of Items | 1 | | Package Quantity | 1 | | Package Type Name | Box | | Product Benefits | Acne Prevention, Anti-Aging, Exfoliating, Hydrating, Moisturizing, Nourishing | | Recommended Uses For Product | Face | | Scent | Unscented | | Scent Name | Unscented | | Skin Cleaning Agent Use | Facial Cleanser | | Skin Tone | All | | Skin Type | All, Combination, Dry, Normal, Oily, Sensitive | | Special Ingredients | Charcoal, Coconut Oil, Shea Butter | | Target Use Body Part | Body, Face, Skin | | Unit Count | 8 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** All Ages - **Brand:** Plant Guru - **Item Package Quantity:** 1 - **Scent:** Unscented - **Skin Type:** All, Combination, Dry, Normal, Oily, Sensitive ## Images ![Plant Guru Raw African Black Soap 8 oz.

I am very pleased with this product. My skin is very sensitive and I am able house this soap on my face with no break outs. **Q: Does it help dark spots ?** A: Yes. I had a few spots from acne and they're gone. **Q: how many timws a day do you use this soap on your face and can you use this soap every day on your body** A: I use it for face, morning and night, and for full body wash. It appears the soap is clearing my problem skin. I must caution though that this soap can cause irritation if the suds are left too long on the thin facial skin. This happened to me. I washed my face and allowed the suds to sit while I cleansed my body. My face burned and I ended up with dry patches for a couple of days. Shea butter with a few drops of frankencense cleared it up quickly though. Now I rinse my face immediately after cleansing and have not experienced any other problems. **Q: is this soap saponified?** A: I’m not sure. I would suggest you redirect that question to the the manufacturer. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely love it. *by S***E on August 14, 2026* I have used a lot of different soaps in my 50+ years and this one is the best so far.

TLDR: natural but non-offensive scent. soft glowy skin, slow progress. doesn't remove makeup. doesn't dry out skin. fades/heals acne. amazing lather, little goes a long way. 6 year old warts on hands have shrunken and some disappeared. 10000% worth it, the size of the bar will last a very long time. ## Frequently Bought Together - Raw African Black Soap Bar 8 oz. - 100% Pure Natural From Ghana.
