Could see some improvement,too early to comment

This soap was of great quality. It's soft, malleable, and the smell is what I expected (earthy and nutty smells of Shea Butter is what I mostly picked up on. It's not going to smell like peaches but it also doesn't smell like burning tires). Being that it's made of raw materials, it wasn't unexpected to to see a few tiny bits of hard debris -- there was nothing major. Note that the soap didn't come in the packaging with the label, as pictured, but was wrapped in a Saran Wrap-type plastic that itself was wrapped in a thicker plastic with an Amazon barcode on it. Not a big deal but it'd be helpful to verify ingredients and origins of what customers receive. So far, I've turned about 2 ounces of it into a 32 oz liquid shampoo. Even in its raw form the lather is creamy and the cleansing power is wonderful. I bought it for use with both hair and skin and am already seeing a major difference -- the scalp is cleaner, hair is softer, and some of the spots and pimples on my face cleared up pretty quickly. For those who find ABS too drying or too harsh for sensitive skin, I recommend that you go the liquid shampoo/body wash/face soap route with one of many simple online recipes. It's very simple to make, you don't need much of it per wash, those recipes automatically turn it into a more moisturizing soap with whatever natural fragrance you prefer (I'm using lavender and it works really well). You'd be using the soap in a slightly less concentrated form that's still effective. For me, it's also significantly less expensive per ounce (and more versatile) than the castille soaps I'd been using because you don't need a whole lot of it to make a bottle or to do a cleansing afterward. For those who complain about mold, this is more than likely because you are getting a huge chunk (or the entire thing) wet and then leaving it in conditions under which mold can grow. Keep in mind that you're dealing with all-natural, raw ingredients and that's what can happen to organic materials without some level of care in how you store them. It will not preserve itself like processed products with synthetic ingredients and so should not be expected to do so. Unless there is an existing problem when you first open the package (in which you should promptly log into your account and return the item), it is easy to prevent problems with minimum effort. To avoid mold, do ONE of the following: 1. cut off only what you think is a reasonable amount that you'll actually use within a week and store the rest in a dry environment and/or container until it's needed. 2. refrigerate the bar (its ingredients have a low melting point and can be warmed up with your body heat from your hands very quickly when you need it), 3. don't leave the bar sopping wet if it's in a room that doesn't have proper air circulation -- gently pat the bar dry with a cloth or paper towel after each use., or 4. leave the soap in a room that has proper air circulation (exhaust fan, dehumidifier, etc.).

This is one of the best things I have ever used on my skin. I have found that it reduces the acne I have on my arms, face, and back. I use it every single day in the shower and I generally am going buy this product again. Plz note I do not have crazy oily skin and I’ve been using this product for about a year now. This product has lasted me so long just from 1 buy. I seriously recommend this to anybody that has medium oily skin. I will say the one withdraw is sometimes the little pebbles cut me but it heal in one day.

I have used this soap for years and have not had any skin break outs. This helps with keeping your skin smooth and even. It leaves no residue behind when you rinse it off.

So I was hearing great stuff about natural raw African black soap. I wanted to try it out. I do really enjoy this soap. It can be a bit drying though but I feel so clean after my shower. I go back and forth with this soap and olive oil soap( I mainly use it for my face though). This big bar of soap will need to be cut into slices or pieces of your desire. It will last you a long time and has a long self life as well. Make sure to wrap what is left after cutting. From what I hear don't leave it in a flow of water. Let it completely dry out of it gets soft and slimy. Also do not rub it directly on your skin, use a washcloth, African net sponge, etc. it can slightly burn if you get a small amount up your nose.
