Description
Dr. Woods Coconut Papaya Raw Black Soap with Shea Butter delivers authentic African skincare tradition in a nourishing 8 oz bar. This handcrafted black soap combines the time-honored cleansing power of traditional African black soap with tropical coconut and papaya extracts, enhanced with moisturizing shea butter. The raw black soap base is made from plantain skins, palm kernel oil, and cocoa pods, following centuries-old West African recipes. Coconut oil provides antimicrobial properties and deep moisturizing, while papaya extract offers gentle enzymatic exfoliation and vitamin-rich nourishment. The addition of shea butter ensures this cleansing bar won’t strip or dry your skin, making it suitable for daily use on face and body. Dr. Woods maintains ethical sourcing practices, supporting African communities while delivering authentic products. This soap is particularly beneficial for those with acne-prone, oily, or problematic skin, as black soap naturally helps balance oil production. The gentle yet effective formula works for all skin types, providing deep cleansing while maintaining skin’s natural moisture barrier. Free from harsh chemicals and synthetic additives.
Suggested Use
Wet bar and work into rich lather between hands or with washcloth. Apply to damp skin, gently massage in circular motions, and rinse thoroughly with warm water. For facial use, use gentle pressure and avoid eye area. Use daily or as needed. Follow with moisturizer if desired, though the shea butter content provides natural conditioning.
