Review: Authentic African Black Soap isn't Black, It's Brown, and is truly African-West African to be exact-This is authentic - If you were on the fence when this product was a lightning deal cause you were unsure and missed out, let me give you the goods on the product so you'll understand why Sky Organics product is so good, and why true African Black Soap has been used in West Africa for eons, and I've been to to three West African nations and can attest that what you're purchasing is the real deal. First, what actually is it? Here's what you need to know: the soap is made from cacao ash cocoa pods, shea bark,plantain, and shea butter that is roasted, it's a labor intensive process and recipes vary, but all of these plants and ingredients are native to West Africa. So if you want the real deal, buy soap that is sourced in West Africa. Sky Organics soap is sourced in Ghana- so you're good on that front. Second important point is Authentic African Black Soap isn't Black it's a speckled Brown with variations of dark and light brown bits. This is important because you can walk into a very famous natural foods market and other natural stores and find perfectly squared bars of black colored soap that's sold as African Black Soap, but please know that to achieve that perfectly solid bar unnatural additives are added. Authentic African Black soap is crumbly and because it tends to absorb water, It's actually not a good idea to store it near the sink or in damp areas. You want to keep it dry between uses. I dry my bar off after each use and wrap it in plastic wrap or place it in a plastic bag.. My soap arrived wrapped in plastic wrap in the Sky Organics paper bag, just as pictured. This is important too because it indicates that Sky Organics understands that what they;re offering is the authentic product and understands how to package it to maintain its potency and authenticity. So you can purchase with confidence. So now that you know what it is, Why Use it? It is the gold standard if you have problem skin, but even if you don't, the West has finally realized what Africans have known for centuries: Shea Butter is excellent for skin. Take a look at the products in your markets.There's a Shea Butter revolution. But in West Africa, it's been used for centuries, Newborn babies are washed with it. Remember the perfect skin you had as a child! But I want to caution you. If you are looking for perfumed, pretty soap you can display on your counter in your bathroom, this aint it. It smells like unrefined Cocoa/coconut, an earthy, oaty smell, so if you're not put off by that or that's not important to you, this is your soap. If you're looking for a soap that will cleanse, moisturize, and exfoliate, all in one, and won't aggravate your problem skin, acne, eczema, write your problem in here, then this is the soap for you! I've used African Black Soap for years on my acne prone, sensitive skin and I can honestly say for me it was a turning point in changing my skin for the better. I wouldn't be without it now and this product is the best example of truly authentic African Black Soap without travelling to West Africa and importing it yourself. So if you have problem skin, try it, if you are looking for a natural way to moisturize, cleanse, and exfoliate, try it. I do also want to share another revelation with you that changed my skin for the better. Using African Black Soap, I wash my face once a day. I choose at night, just before I go to bed, because African Black Soap is an excellent makeup remover, and for me it takes my Bare Minerals off better than anything else. Leveraging the natural exfoliating and moisturizing properties of the soap, I don't need to wash my face more than once a day. I found in using it this way, my skin was less oily, which, ended the breakouts, and with less breakouts, I had less scarring, and the old scars, faded and diminished over time, and my pores were visibly smaller. All of these things were attributes of using this soap and not washing my face as much. What I learned from it is this. Your skin has natural oils and moisturizing properties in it. By washing your face morning and night, and with products laden with all kinds of additives you can't even pronounce, you are actually stripping your skin of its natural oils, which causes your skin to then over produce the oils to compensate. So your skin becomes an oil slick, your pores become clogged, and you get pimples, and you begin the process all over again, because you wash your face more etc thinking you are helping yourself, but you're not. So if you're stuck in this cycle like I was for years before trying African Black Soap, give this a try, by Sky Organics. It's authentic, sourced from Africa, pure good stuff. I like to think of it this way, African Black Soap is like Wen for your Skin
Review: Unique, strong soap - I have heard a lot about African black soap and have wanted to try it for a while. I saw someone selling it at my local farmer’s market, and it seemed so odd that I wanted it but I was leery of it. It’s a strange sort of soap. It’s not as black as dirt or anything. It looks a little like banana bread actually! There are these hunks of things in it. It’s not entirely smooth. The actual ingredients, in order of quantity, are: palm oil, cocoa butter, palm kernel oil, coconut oil, shea butter, plantain skin ash, purified water, and vitamin E. African black soap is really good for you skin—to prevent sun damage and aging, improve acne, eczema, dry skin, and the like. It’s deep cleansing with anti-bacterial and anti-fungal uses and a good degreaser. It’s powerful without being rough on your skin, so you could use it on your face, though I just use it for body. This is a huge package, an entire pound. It’s a hunk of soap and I was able to cut it into five large slices to share with friends and family. It’s not perfectly smooth and it crumbles a little when you cut into it, but it solidifies well when it gets wet. It has a distinct smell that won’t be for everyone. I think it smells like ashes. It would suit a man or a woman, but the smell does linger a little afterwards, so you better like it. I think you could probably crumble the soap and mix in some essential oils if the scent was really unappealing to you. It’s not too oily to add to. You could use it as a base. I really like it, and have found my skin feeling really clean and soft lately. I received this soap for a discount in exchange for my honest feedback, but my thoughts are my own. Thanks!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this need to be melted down to make bars? Is the bag just chips of soap? If so, how do you use it?**
A: The soap comes as a 1 lb solid block which you can cut into bars. It's much softer than traditional bar soap though and pieces will crumble off the edges or corners. It's best to cut thicker bars so they will hold together better. Because it's so soft, any broken pieces can be put back together by squeezing or rolling them with your hands & formed into any shape you want. Instead of using bars, some people break off just the amount of soap they need to wash or they make liquid soap out of it.

**Q: Can you use the soap to wash your face with your hands without it burning you or having stinging after-wash?**
A: Yes. Do not use the actual bar on your face, because there are grains in the actual soap that will scratch. But to lather in your hands and wash your face, it works great.

**Q: Will this soap lighten my skin?**
A: When I used it. It didn’t lighten my skin. It dried it out really bad. To lighten your skin, try Aveeno brightening brands or try Burt’s Bees brighten brands. They worked wonders for my dark spots on my face.

**Q: Where should i store this product? will the refrigerator be fine or my room by any chance? i need help!! i don’t want my product to go bad.**
A: Hi there. I just store mine in a cool/ good room temperature place. Right now my soap is in a closet. I chop off pieces to use instead of trying to use the entire bar and store the rest.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best soap I've ever purchased!
*by K***N on November 25, 2017*

I have tried dozens and dozens of different soaps and moisturizers on my skin for the last 20 years(I have struggled with acne all my adult life) and I can honestly say this is the best soap I've ever come across. I can't believe how it has already made such a difference on my skin. My skin was looking good when I began taking lysine but then I tried a skin care line that my friend was selling and the products really made me break out. My skin was bad. I found this online and thought I'd give it a try. I'm so glad I did. My skin began clearing up immediately. It does have a bit of a drying feeling but I just use coconut oil or jojoba oil afterwards and my skin is glowy. I have also given my two teenage boys the soap and they love it too. I love that it comes in such a huge chunk so that I can use it however I want. I cut off a smaller bar for myself and lather up in my hands. For my boys I put some soap and water in a dropper bottle and they squirt some into their hands. It works great and I don't have to worry about them making a mess. The large chunk of soap will last us quite a while too. This is one of my favorite purchases and it is an amazing price. You can't go wrong. Sidenote: If you suffer from acne you might want to try taking a lysine supplement. It has worked wonders for my boys and myself. My skin was amazing after just two weeks but got bad after I tried my friend's skin care line. The combination of lysine and this soap is magical for me.
