Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Why does the soap feel soft or crumbly compared to regular bar soap? A: This is a hallmark of authentic, unrefined African Black Soap. Because it is not triple-milled and contains no hardeners or synthetic binders, it creates a softer, more pliable texture. You can easily mold it in your hands or break off a small piece to use.
Q: Is it normal to feel a tingling sensation? A: Yes, many users experience a mild tingling sensation, especially during the first few uses. This is due to the deep-cleansing nature of the plantain ash and the high potency of the ingredients. However, if the tingling becomes burning or uncomfortable, rinse it off immediately and discontinue use.
Q: Why is the color not jet black? A: Authentic African Black Soap is actually rarely "black." It usually ranges from light brown to deep mahogany or dark brown. This color comes from the roasting process of the cocoa pods and plantain skins. If you see soap that is uniformly jet black, it likely contains artificial charcoal or dyes. Our soap is 100% natural, so color variation between bars is normal.
Q: My soap seems to be "melting" or getting gooey. What should I do? A: This soap is hydrophilic, meaning it loves to absorb moisture from the air. If left in water or a humid spot, it will dissolve much faster than commercial soap.
-
Tip: Store it on a soap dish with slats that drain well, or keep it in a dry area outside of the direct shower stream.
Q: Can I use this on dry or sensitive skin? A: Yes, the Organic Shea Butter makes it suitable for dry skin. However, because the soap is exfoliating, we recommend using it only 2–3 times a week if you have sensitive skin, and always follow up with a good moisturizer.
Q: Can I use this as a shampoo? A: Absolutely. It is excellent for removing product buildup (silicones, gels, sprays) from the scalp. Because it is a clarifying cleanser, be sure to follow up with a deep conditioner to keep your hair strands soft.
