Faqs
Q: Can I use black soap on my face every day?
A: Some people do, but it can be drying for many skin types, so start a few times per week and adjust based on comfort.
Q: Why does black soap look and feel different from regular soap bars?
A: Traditional black soap often has a darker colour and rustic texture due to its ingredients and production method.
Q: Does it contain added fragrance?
A: No added fragrance is listed, it has a natural, earthy soap aroma from the oils and cocoa potash.

I am definitely buying again. For the first two weeks it was a bit harsh, around the corners of my mouth I got dark patches, but I continued using the Soap and now my skin is looking amazing.
Exactly what was advertised.LOVE IT !!!! Finally found a reputable black soap.
My skin was often good. Never entirely clear or with that glass effect to it, though. But then I started using this soap and my skin has never been more radiant!
Word of warning, it’s very strong but entirely natural. I love this soap and it’s totally worth the price!
This is one strong soap, although very natural. Usually soaps that deal with multiple skin problems have all sorts of chemicals that can be harsh on the skin, and having sensitive skin makes this a huge problem. No chemicals here, it's a detox for the face, paired it with Moringa oil after washing, happy skin.
I was very happy with my delivery, and the soap. However its my first time going all natural on my face. And it seemed to me that this soap dried my skin out just a little. Other then that the soap actually helped me with clearing my skin with in 3 weeks.
This soap is incredible. It doesn't dry out your skin.assists with pigment and also helps with pimples etc. The delivery was super fast. Always great service from Essentially Natural. Will repurchase.
This is an absolutely amazing soap, I have sliced mine to use in sections and my skin hasn’t had much breakouts since I started using it, my skin is softer and smoother, I am so glad I made this purchase. Would definitely recommend it to anyone who has adult acne like me, do not leave product on as a mask as it will cause drying out.
I am so happy with this soap. My skin is notably softer and starting to clear. Definitely a toiletry essential.
Thank you for faster delivery service,my face skin is so soft since I'm using this soap and I prefer to use it at night...it's doing magic on my face, definately I'll buy it again...thank you Essentially Natural
I love everything about this soap. It’s mild, fragrance free & doesn’t contain any additives that could irritate my skin. My skin is also sensitive and it works for me. My skin is clear and brighter after using it. My little sister uses it for her eczema and psoriasis and she loves it. It doesn’t itch as much anymore, it’s less swollen and red as well. She uses it with neem oil. My step mom even uses it for her adult acne and what she likes the most is that it makes her face feel very clean.
This soap is my go-to, it’s a winner, a must have! For the entire family!
I just like this soap, is mild,gentle on skin, there's no fragrances, doesn't irritates my skin
Hi. Whats the size of your Black soap?
Hi there
Thanks for your question!
Our Essentially Natural Black Soap comes in a 100g bar 🌿 - it’s slightly smaller than typical store-bought soaps, but quite dense and long-lasting.
As it’s a traditional soap, the shape and appearance can vary a little too.
Let us know if you have any further queries, we'd love to help.
Kindest regards,
Aiden
