Essentially Natural Black Soap is a traditional African cleansing bar made with plant oils and cocoa potash. It offers a deep-clean feel with mild exfoliation, which many people prefer for oily or congested-looking skin. This rustic-style soap can be used on the face and body, but it can feel drying if overused. Made in Ghana, it is a simple, no-frills staple for natural cleansing routines.
