The soap arrives in an unrefined, grainy form that preserves natural plant particles and nutrients, so it is intended to be lathered in the hands or on a washcloth before applying to skin or hair rather than rubbed directly on delicate facial skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes this raw African black soap different from regular soap?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis soap is unrefined and uses traditional Ghanaian ingredients and techniques, leaving visible plant particles and a deeper, earthier color.

Instead, work the soap into a lather in your hands, on a washcloth, or in a bowl before applying.

This raw African black soap suits shoppers who prefer traditional, plant-based cleansing products without synthetic fragrances and who don’t mind a naturally textured soap. It’s a good choice for people who want a large, economical block for body, hair, or hands and who will lather the product rather than apply the raw bar directly to sensitive skin. If you have very sensitive or compromised skin, test a small lathered patch first and discontinue use if irritation occurs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can I use this raw African black soap directly on my face?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No — lather the soap in your hands or on a washcloth first to avoid irritation from plant particles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Is this soap scented or contains synthetic fragrances?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No, it contains no artificial fragrances; any scent is natural from the raw, unrefined ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Our Earth's Secrets","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58363259650435,"sku":"B01ECY1P2G","price":27.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/2696\/0515\/files\/our-earths-secrets-front-packaging.jpg?v=1782820678","url":"https:\/\/origin-beauty.com\/products\/our-earths-secrets-natural-raw-african-black-soap-2-lb-unrefined-ghanaian-block-gentle-cleanser","provider":"Origin Beauty","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
