Dried my skin out something serious
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Honestly I was so happy to get this product and I was highly disappointed. It drys your skin out SO bad . I just felt itchy after using which is probably why they sent that coconut oil bar soap with it. It’s very faint in scent and I do love the packaging .

Formula change with new bottle
I’ve used this product for years and loved how moisturizing it was. They reformulated recently when they changed the bottle. Less exfoliating bits and the texture is more viscous and strips oil from your skin like cheap suave body wash products. I think they changed the clear bottle to opaque to hide how different they’ve made the formula. Now my skin is just itchy and dry. Will never be buying this again.

Yes please
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loved the SheaMoisture African Black Soap body wash! Great clean scent, lightly exfoliating, and leaves skin fresh—just be mindful of washcloth stains.

Thick and effective
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This body wash has such a calming scent. It’s warm, earthy, and slightly sweet without being overpowering. It smells clean and natural, like something you’d find at a wellness spa. The formula is thick and creamy, and it lathers really well. My skin feels clean but not stripped. I’ve noticed fewer breakouts on my chest and back, and it helps calm irritation after shaving. It definitely feels like it’s doing something without being harsh. If you have sensitive or acne prone skin and want something that smells good and actually works, this is a solid choice.

Not for me
It ruins your wash clothes by staining them which is why I don’t usually buy anything black soap. I also had a hard time squeezing it out of the bottle. I wouldn’t purchase this again.

Formula change
Unfortunately they changed the formula along with the new bottle and it's much more drying now.

It doesn’t have an overpowering scent. Lastly, There’s a lot of body wash in the bottle especially for the price. I highly recommend.

Nourishing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This body wash is my new favorite. The black soap is so moisturizing to my skin. I love the smell of the coconut in it. It smells and feels so refreshing to the skin. The texture of the soap feels like honey. The lather and cleansing effect leaves me feeling clean and renewed.

Good for combination and dry skin
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using a body wash for a while now and to me it's just okay I don't feel like my skin is super moisturized after using it but it does provide a little bit of moisture. I love the packaging it's sleek. However, the top does not open wide enough to get the product out, so I'm having to squeeze, which is not good for people with joint issues. There is no smell, so that's a good thing. The ingredients are clean, and besides African black soap, there are oats and aloe included in the ingredients.

Great!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The soap was amazing. It suds up great and you don't have to use much. It does come out brown so don't use light colored wash cloths. It makes my body feel soft and it has a nice mild scent.

Shea moisture in a body wash
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really love this body wash as the lather is out of this world! It smells delicious and the soap itself is dark brown sort of like the Shea butter black soap. It leaves my skin soft and moisturized. The smell is mild nothing to go crazy over but this stuff here is amazing! It lasts long as well, I’ve had it for about a month and it’s just half way full. Perfect for dry skin providing that extra moisture lock-in. I noticed that using this in the morning works better for me than at night not sure why- it just does! Try it and thank me later my fellow reviewers.

Smells Nice
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This body wash lathers nice and smells nice. I have not noticed anything negative while using it. It also is a pretty large bottle. I would prefer a glass bottle for packaging otherwise pretty good.

Only recommend for those with dry skin
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The body wash has foam and lather action and does indeed feel very hydrating to the skin. I have oily skin so i didn't benefit much from it and after using my skin did not thoroughly clean due to the cleaners priority function being moisture and my skin already produces an excessive amount of sebum on its own. furthurmore after using the product for a few weeks my body had an alergic reaction to the body wash and I developed a lymph node on my left inner thigh. I don't know why this happened but im sharing this to say that i would only reccomened this product to those with dry or normal skin. those with only or acne prone skin I would strongly advice to stay away.

The smell is soft and my skin loves it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Body Wash is silky, rich, and calming with the perfect amount of lather. The African Black Soap gently cleanses without stripping my skin, and I truly notice the 24-hour moisture it promises. The scent? Warm, earthy, and relaxing — like a mini-spa moment every time I step into the shower. Great value for the money and size. I like the bottle as well.
