Dr. Woods Raw Liquid Black Soap 32 oz — Organic Shea Butter, Gentle Exfoliating Body & Face Wash

Dr. Woods Raw Liquid Black Soap is a plant-based, exfoliating body wash made with organic shea butter and traditional African black soap ingredients to gently cleanse and hydrate face, hands, and body.

This 32 fl oz bottle delivers a concentrated, thicker liquid black soap formulated from plantain ash, palm kernel and nourishing oils so you get a deep clean without aggressive detergents. Its texture rinses clean while helping remove dead skin cells; the recipe includes fair-trade raw shea butter plus olive, hemp and coconut oils to preserve moisture. Bottled in the U.S., this liquid black soap follows small-batch tradition and is vegan and cruelty-free.

How does this soap clean without drying my skin?

The formula balances cleansing and hydration using fatty plant oils and raw shea butter that attract and lock in moisture. Instead of harsh surfactants, nutrients from olive, hemp and coconut oils help maintain the skin’s natural barrier while the mild exfoliating action lifts dull cells.

• Contains organic raw shea butter to condition and soften
• Olive oil acts as a natural humectant to help retain moisture
• Hemp and coconut oils support gentle cleansing and skin lipids
• Thicker concentrate avoids over-dilution and reduces waste

Can I use this on my face, body, and hands every day?

Yes — the gentle black soap is suitable for daily use across face, hands and body for most skin types. It exfoliates without aggressive stripping, so you can apply full strength with a cloth, loofah, or palms; adjust frequency if your skin is very sensitive.

• Works as an all-purpose daily wash for face and body
• Use full strength or diluted depending on personal sensitivity
• Available in scented and unscented options to match preferences

What makes this "raw" African black soap different from ordinary cleansers?

Raw black soap is traditionally made from plantain skins and palm kernel ashes prepared in small batches, preserving minerals and vitamins naturally present in the ingredients. Dr. Woods adapts this heritage process into a modern liquid format that combines those traditional components with responsibly sourced oils for improved texture and ease of use.

• Plantain ash and palm kernel contribute gentle exfoliation
• Small-batch inspired formulations retain nutrient-rich elements
• Fair-trade raw shea butter and vegan ingredients enhance nourishment

How should I get the best results from this bottle?

Dispense a small amount and massage onto wet skin with hands, washcloth, or loofah to create a light lather; rinse thoroughly. For face use, start with once daily to assess tolerance, then adjust as needed. Store away from direct heat and use within recommended time for best freshness.

• Use a pea-to-quarter-sized amount depending on area
• Rinse well to remove all residue for a balanced finish
• Combine with your favorite moisturizer after showering if desired
