Q: When you say melanin rich skin does this mean only

submitted by Kitcat18 - 1 year ago

  • A: I'm as pale as they come, but after much experimentation, I've found that this is the right replacement if you used to use the now discontinued Tone cocoa/shea soap. Keeps psoriasis / eczema in check.

    submitted bymae - 7 months ago

  • A: Thank you for asking. Our African Black Soap, Calm & Clearing Bar soap is designed specifically for melanin-rich skin. Infused with African Black Soap, Oats, Aloe, & Vitamin E, this bar soap gently cleanses and helps balance dry, troubled skin, leaving it feeling calm, smooth, and visibly moisturized for 24 hours. We hope this helps!

    Very nice!!

    Works great! Hydrates my skin so good. With lupus my skin can be very dry at times and this soap helps with that. The smell isn’t overwhelming but very mild. The lather is so rich and smooth.

    Similar to Jose black soaps on the market.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Texture was similar to other black soaps on the market. Ingredients say to be raw, natural, and authentic. Soap dried my skin out which is not effective for me. Scent smelled similar to other black soaps, no distinct differences. Packaging was nothing special. Overall rating 2.5/5.

    Perfect to remove heavy makeup after a long day

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I found that my skin felt wonderfully moisturized after using this product. It was gentle and didn’t cause any breakouts, which is always a plus for me. It worked perfectly for removing makeup after a long day. Additionally, I appreciated its mild scent, as it didn’t trigger my allergies at all. Overall, it’s a great option for anyone looking for a one-stop shop skin care product.

    My skin feels soft and moisturized!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how this soap smells! It's not too strong and overpowering. When using lathering my hands and body with it, I can already feel moisturized clean. The packaging was nice. I would definitely buy this in place of my regular soap.

    Very hydrating !

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not only is the bat huge but it smells amazing. It keeps my skin super hydrated. Other black soaps tend to dry my skin out but not this one. A++++ will totally buy this product when this bar runs out.

    Black Soap Tryout

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The soap had a pleasing scent. The packaging was plain and would not stand out on the shelf. The soap made my skin feel soft after use and is clearing up a small scar I had on my arm.

    So far so good!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far so good! Easy simple packaging meant I could sniff and smell it the shea and thankfully it smells amazing! I really enjoy how it lathers and I’m looking forward to seeing how well in works in time. I don’t use it daily yet to ensure no allergies but so far so good!

    Gentle cleanser for face and body

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This soap is incredibly versatile! I use it for both my face and body, and it’s gentle yet effective. It lathers well and leaves my skin feeling clean but not stripped. It’s especially great for cleansing and balancing, particularly if you have sensitive or acne-prone skin. The scent of Shea Moisture Black Soap is slightly herbal, with a hint of sweetness. It’s not overpowering its mild and natural, which if you don’t like fragrance in your products this may not be the product for you. I on the other hand did not mind the scent at all.

    Recommend for dry skin.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] No sulfates, no parabens, no phthalates, no mineral oils. Smells like oats. Shea moisture African black soap w/ oats, Aloe, and vitamin E, relieves my dry skin, leaving it smooth and smelling great. The soap is well packaged and worth the price.

    Great for dry skin!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this African Black Soap!!! The smell is amazing and the lather is great! I actually received this around the time I noticed dry skin spots. I immediately started using it and the dry spots have almost disappeared. My face appears brighter and moisturized after use as well. I will be definitely be purchasing this and adding it to my regimen.
