Shea Moisture African Black Soap Bar 4-Count — Calm & Clearing, Oats + Aloe for 24H Hydration

SheaMoisture African Black Soap Calm & Clearing Bar is a 4-count moisturizing cleansing bar formulated with African black soap, oats, aloe, vitamin E and fair-trade shea butter to gently cleanse and help calm dry, troubled melanin-rich skin while delivering up to 24 hours of visible moisture.

This soap bar is created specifically with melanin-rich complexions in mind, combining traditional African black soap with modern moisturizing technology. The formula is 92% naturally derived and avoids common irritants like sulfates, parabates, phthalates, mineral oil, and petrolatum. SheaMoisture uses a proprietary Shea Emulsion process to disperse shea butter into tiny droplets so the bar spreads and absorbs evenly, leaving skin feeling soothed and hydrated.

How does this bar help balance dry or troubled skin?

The combination of African black soap, oats, and aloe works to cleanse without stripping natural oils, while vitamin E and shea butter add moisturization and support skin comfort. Regular use can reduce tightness and leave the skin smoother to the touch.

• Gently cleanses dirt and excess oil without harsh detergents.
• Oats and aloe soothe irritations and reduce dryness.
• Vitamin E and shea butter provide lasting hydration for up to 24 hours.
• Formulated to be free from sulfates, parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, and petrolatum.

Will this soap work for sensitive or acne-prone areas?

The Calm & Clearing bar uses a mild, naturally derived base and calming botanicals to minimize irritation, making it appropriate for many sensitive or blemish-prone zones. It’s not a medical treatment, but its gentle cleansing action can help keep pores clear and reduce surface irritation when used consistently.

• African black soap helps purify skin without over-drying.
• Aloe and oats reduce redness and soothe reactive skin.
• Non-comedogenic formulation supports clearer-looking skin.
• Suitable as part of a broader skincare routine for troubled areas.

How should I use this soap for best results with other SheaMoisture products?

Use the bar as your cleansing step—massage over wet skin to create a light lather, rinse, and follow with a SheaMoisture moisturizer or treatment from the African Black Soap Collection. Pairing with complementary products helps lock in moisture and extend soothing benefits throughout the day.

• Wet skin, lather the bar in hands or washcloth, apply gently, then rinse.
• Pat skin dry and immediately apply a compatible SheaMoisture moisturizer.
• Use morning and night for consistent hydration and clarity support.
• Combine with other African Black Soap items for targeted care (masks, creams, sprays).

What ingredients should I expect and what’s left out?

The bar highlights African black soap, oats, aloe, vitamin E, and fair-trade shea butter delivered via Shea Emulsion technology for broad, even coverage. SheaMoisture keeps the ingredient list focused by excluding sulfates, parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, and petrolatum to reduce irritation risk.

• Key actives: African black soap, oats, aloe, vitamin E, fair-trade shea butter.
• 92% naturally derived ingredients in the finished bar.
• Free from sulfates, parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, and petrolatum.
• Shea Emulsion breaks shea butter into fine droplets for even application.

Who this product is for: This Calm & Clearing African Black Soap bar is intended for people with melanin-rich or darker complexions who want a gentle, moisturizing cleanser that addresses dryness and surface irritation. It’s a good choice for those seeking a more natural formulation free from common synthetic irritants and for anyone who prefers a soap bar texture that supports up to 24 hours of visible moisture when used as part of a consistent skincare routine.
