Hey Great review. i use it too. i love it.. I was going to say to you put HONEY on the bumps and they will go away. Bacterias cannot live where honey is placed. Also coconut oil helps rid you of pimples, acne, whatever. But the soap is GREAT. i gave some away for Xmas some people thought it was brownies. I was like It states SOAP. But in anycase i love it. But i love it because it LASTS so long. i break into small pieces and put in washcloth and it lasts a long time better than crap at store
You convinced me to get the soap and I'm glad I did. I've struggled with acne and face rash for like 10 yrs. I ordered on a Monday night and got it Friday afternoon (sooooooo quick!). And coastal scents sent me eye shadow as a free gift! A great surprise! Well my face is great two weeks later, and I'm glowing and loving it. My husband was skeptical just looking at it, but guess what he uses for face and body? Lol yeap, black african soap and he won't stop raving about it haha
does this clear blackheads? because that is my biggest problem and I am looking for something natural and can't find anything that is "harsh" enough to clear them!
@courtneytherunner13 I don't really know about blackheads. I've always heard that it took more than just a soap to clean out a blackhead pore. I believe it takes a physical push, pull, or suction to remove them. I would keep checking more YouTube vids on that.
@sorrysary actually it's really good for black heads! I got a small piece with my last order and it really worked in the area around my nose but yeah it needs a little help :3
DUDU OSUN is the original black soap from nigeria. they sell it everywhere in the U.K but im not sure about the US. also there is another african Black soap called CHO CHO soap, which originates from Ghana, also very good for the skin and comes in a black soap form. Both soaps are amazing, and its a normal household product as i am african and its something we have been using for generations. But DU DU OSUN (which means black soap in yoruba nigerian language) is the best on the market
Does this work well for acne?? What about oily skin? My face gets really oily especially around my nose do u think it would lessen the oil on my skin?
Because of your review I ordered this soap I have used it 3 weeks now and I must say this soap is the best!!!! Not only does my skin feel great it also looks better . I'm Hispanic so I have very oily skin so the abs helped with oil and shine it also help with the dandruff I had as well.. Thanks for the review
Hi again, I am thoroughly confused -there's this other type of african black soap called dudu osun, and that's like cheaper on amazon.com. but, dudu osun has like other chemical stuff in it, which I really don't want. However, i think i might have heard you on your video saying that it's best to get it from coastal scents. I know i might have answered my own question here, but because you've given such an awesome review, you're like the african soap guru - so i thought i'd get your 2 cents worth

Many thanks for your reply - I have one more question. I would like to know if I could use the african black soap and unrefined shea butter on my face, considering that I live in a humid humid place like Singapore, where we only either get rain or shine. I have been researching on these products on Asian skin, especially mine, which is of Pakistani descent (if that even makes a difference) and could not find any reviews on...so would really like to hear your advise on that. Thank you
@queenofspades01 I use the ABS and unrefined shea butter on my face. Depending on the humidity you may find it too heavy. However it's still good for your skin either way. So when it's humid I just apply less of the butter and in the winter when it's dry I add more.
hi there, i was wondering, i have blemish spots on my face, and no matter how much i DON'T pick on my pimples, they still leave a scar - will this help in trying to help fade away? And u've got such gorgeous skin.
@queenofspades01 Hello and thanks! I have noticed my scars have significantly faded. I can't guarantee everyones skin will react the same but I'm assuming that you will see a similar reaction. Even if they don't go completely away they will be so much less noticeable! Good luck :)
I am sooo excited to try this!I just ordered some yesterday after watching your video and doing some more research. I did not see one bad review of this product and I really hope it works the way everyone says it does. I am most interested in its effects on acne and acne scars. Thanks for the awesome review!
i just picked some of this up from the african-caribbean shop in my city... at frist glance i was like wtf? but now i get it lol it smells really earthy adn natural, which i like i have minor breakouts andthese little bumps all over my face not milia, but like blackheads that have kind of sealed over? io hope this will take those away ... it feels sorta gritty so i hope it exfoliates too ... i bought some pure unrefined shea butter to use as a mouisturizer after ... ps my eyes get PO'd too ;)
I have been wanting to buy this for a while but could not bring myself to do it. After seeing this review I want to order it from coastal scents right away! Your skin is amazing!! I love that you waited so long to review it because I can trust everything you are saying :)
WOW! Thank u for such an in depth review! Yeah your skin is fab and I noticed it right away. You are very pretty and i think outward beauty starts with the skin. Anyhow, I just got mine in and used it last night and MY GOODNESS! You weren't kidding. My skin is so soft and the bumps I had yesterday are very small today. Good grief! I am very grateful to you for this and can't thank you enough because your review is what made me try it out. So glad I did! Thank you SO MUCH!
so - you said if there were questions... mine is, erm, ODD
i've recently become disabled. as in - can't get off the bed, sponge baths sort of disabled. i'm DESPERATELY looking for a soap that actually CAN be used in sponge bathing. every soap i've tried [except the medical soap - ew!] has NOT worked - there's a residue, because it's not a shower/bath. it has to be WIPED off. anyway could you see if it would work in this fashion? id be 4ever grateful! and would buy, if it works! my b/f sent me:)
@denelian1 I think that it could work, however I'm not sure that what I think you are saying is exactly what you are saying. But there is no residue at all, and unless you were under a constant stream of water there would be a residue from most soaps. But this soap doesn't leave one so I think it would work. However, Coastal Scents won't accept it as a return if you don't like it, so if it doesn't work then I'd give it as a gift to someone. FYI
@sorrysary yeah - that's what i was asking. most soaps, there's a LOT of residue, no amount of rubbing w/ a cloth gets rid of it. it's worth a shot - as you say, i can always use a gift if it doesn't work! thanks for the info; no way was i going to try without SOME idea!
I think you're looking incredibly beautiful! Your skin is clean, clear and beautiful! Your video is also very informative and fun to watch because you are so sexy :-)
@HealthNut71 Hi, I use a lot of different conditioners, I change it up all the time, mainly drugstore stuff. I like Garnier though as of now. Detangler is Johnson and Johnson baby detangler.
I ordered this soap and wasn't sure what to do with it. I agree that it makes your skin feel squeaky clean and doesn't leave it dry. What a wonderful product. Thanks for the info it was great. Dawn
Black soap is strong stuff, i use liquid black soap and add jojoba oil and tea tree to it. The liquid stuff is much easier to handle and is not as messy, plus like i said you can add oils to it. I leave the black soap on for around a minute then rinse off. Oh and don't splash your face with cold water after washing, it just irritates your face, the whole hot water opens pores and cold closes them is a myth. It is no miracle cure but if you persevere it will give you good results.
Thanks for this review! I'm buying the soap right now :)
I just wanted to say that you are soooooo pretty. And your hair and makeup are gorgeous. And you seem like a really nice, funny, smart person! Blessings, Lauren
@captainfrank31 I have only tried the CS soap so I'm not sure about the Dudu-osun brand. However, it's really about WHERE the soap comes from, not who sells it. So do some research and if it's from a legit place (like Ghana) then it should be okay.
@sikarenisme I'm really not sure. There are probably some people that had their skin act a bit crazy in the beginning because it's not used to it. I'd keep trying it and see if it gets any better, I'm assuming that it will! You can always call CS and ask them too.
Ive been using this soap for three days and my skin is a little dry where i have acne scars and I'm kinda breaking out here (just a little) :[ is that normal? i heard skin reacts when you use something new but is this supposed to happen? will it go away? will my skin get used to it and get better? :[ Please answer :S
@hibiscus555 I haven't ever had that happen to me, but it might have happened to someone else, so I can't say if it's "normal" or not. Your skin might have to get used to it, however putting something natural on your skin shouldn't make your skin have to "work", you know what I mean? You might want to call Coastal Scents and see if they can answer some of your questions. Good luck!
The reason you can't comb through your hair after washing with African Black Soap, is because it is opening the cuticle of the hair. You need to close the cuticle before getting out of the shower. You do this by rinsing with Apple Cider Vinegar. Look it up on the internet to get the correct water to vinegar ratio.
If you don't close the cuticle you will break your hair when trying dry and fix it later.
if your ever in brooklyn if you go to one of those african organic stores they sell pounds of black soap and natural shea butter for really cheap like 4 dollars a pound. its amazing and i totally agree, it does work
@jennaflor It's just strawberry chapstick! That's the reason it's not dry or sticky, I can't stand that about glosses! You can't go wrong with a pink colored chapstick, and strawberry just smells yummy lol.
@sorrysary wow it looks like u have have soem kind of matt lipstick in apricot nude color ha i am like you i think glosses can lool pretty but i cant stand the stickiness i dont have to wear them thank you
@bohogirl10 My skin tone has gotten better by fading old scars, that's about it. It's very soft, like it's hydrated. I have no idea about Dudu Osun, sorry.
Yes, it does look weird. Just got my order from CoastalScents and eagerly tried the soap. It is everything you said. Can't wait to spread the good word to all my friends.
I have very oily skin and sometimes it becomes too trying or too tight. Maybe I should reduce the number of days out the week/month that I use them. Thanks so much for the advice!! I do appreciate it!
@vivecarocks It's removing everything from your face, so it's going to feel totally different especially if you have oily skin to begin with. I would use this daily, and if you need a moisturizer then just use an oil-free one. This stuff is way to good to only be used a couple times a week.
Do I even need a face salt scrub, clay mask, and skin toner if I have black soap in my life? Am I spending more $ than I need to? Is Black Soap supposed to do it ALL? I have been using Black Soap, but I have a habit of still using my face scrub, clay mask and skin toner...Am I overstressing my skin? Am I overdoing it? Can I just rely on Black Soap to do those other things along with washing?
@vivecarocks I guess it's just dependent on your skin! I still use my St. Ives scrub maybe once a week still. However I doubt you'd need a toner. I really think it just depends on your skin and what it needs. For cleansing, I use the soap. For a deep, deep clean then I use a scrub when I feel like I need it. Just keep an eye on what your skin looks and feels like while only using the soap, if it feels fine then good. If not, then incorporate some of the other things back in. Hope it helped;)
i've known about it since my freshman year of college but the accessiblity wasn't as great then. i've been natural (no relaxer in my hair) for 1.5 yrs and i've since been converting to more natural products. i love african black soap. i recommend it for anyone with any skin conditions [acne, eczema, seborrhea, etc]. better yet, i recommend it for anyone with skin, period! *L*
@sorrysary i'm so glad you make the point about fixing conditions from the inside. it's all too true. 2 yrs ago, i wasn't using this soap but i was regularly detoxing and i had NO skin problems. my skin had never looked better. i need to get back to that, so i'll be good inside & out. again, GREAT POINT that too many ppl miss.
lol! As good as these reviews r Coastal Scents should pay u for having it on there. The first thing I seen was your face after I got done reading about it, I thought it was funny. But my ABS and shea butter should be here either tomorrow or the day after. I live in the North so it took about a week but it's here just not at my door. I really hope this stuff works for me. I have very sensitive skin and I need something to work for my acne and my eczema/dry skin. Thanks for the review! (:
Right, it's not an allergy. However if you carry the KP "gene" and you have a food allergy that is not controlled, then KP will show on you. A person can carry the "gene" and still not have KP show on them.
This is just my opinion and what works for me:) Thanks for watching!
The Active ingredients include virgin palm kernel oil, and potash from the ashes of plantain leaves. Plantain is a rich source of vitamins A & E and iron. Plantains are a member of the banana family.
I bought this due to this review and my hole family of 8 is using it its cleared my son and husbands eczema . We will never use anyothe soap ever.
@smileneys i love it. i'm a product junkie so, after i get through a good portion of my soaps, i'm going to use it head to toe like every other month (again, i'm a PJ so i MUST use other stuff. *L*) it really keeps my seborrhea dermatitis flare ups to a minimum and "reverses" them.
Thanks for the review! Its all natural I read and helps acne blemishes and does it help scars I don't know if it helps scars. I can't wait to buy it and use it up on 1 review this woman said "I've used this for a week now and all my acne finally cleared up!" So I need to buy it my acne is reducing but my acne scars are here and I'm trying to get rid of them
odedaj: Castile soap is made of coconut and olive oils and has been made for thousands of years. it's extremely gentle and can be used for EVERYTHING!! you can use it to clean pesticides and wax off fresh produce, use it for laundry, wash your hair....even to brush your teeth. Black soap is made of honey and a bunch of wonderful things it's most commonly in a block where the dr. bronners comes in a bottle. I wouldn't suggest castile soap for moisture but Black soap would work well!
hi, thank you for such a thorough review. i'm thinking of switching to castile soup (dr. bronners) but wondered if you can tell me a little about the difference with that and the black soap...i bathe my grandmother and wanted something moisturizing for her. love the hair--i'm asian but with wavy natural locks like you. have a great day!
I bought the soap from Coastal Scents...IDK how long ago...maybe a few weeks. Gosh I LOVE IT. When I first used it, it was like burning a little but then afterward my skin has been feeling so soft and clear...it is amazing. My pimples are slowly going away...but I wonder it is also good for black heads...I have some on my nose?
I don't think so because a blackhead is actually hardened dirt and oil. This must be removed by softening the dirt and oil, then squeezing it out. Think of it as a bucket (your pore) full of dirt. Washing the top layer of dirt won't clean out the bucket. :) There are probably a few videos on here about removing blackheads, so I'd watch them and see if it works! Good luck to you:D
Ok thanks hun. That made a lot of sense.....but so far my skin is looking good. Even my mother commented on it and confessed to me that she uses my black soap smh lmfao. She's like YOU FIND EVERYTHING, I am like yes I know mom lol. I moisturize with shea butter afterward. Anyways, well thank you for your review. I enjoyed watching your video.
Hi hun, I just watch your video really thinking about gettin the black soap but my main concerns is I use dail soap that has anti-bacteria anyways I suffer from mrsa (staph infection) and I was told to use a anti-bacteria soap. Do you think it would be ok to use since it does clean the skin well. Thanks for you opinion
So i have oily skin. most of the time oily but may because im of oilve skin. please Sarah can u help, i need to know if i should wash my face twice with this soap or just once, like in the shower. i think once i tired washing my face once a day at night. but I dont knw, should we reduce washing because of the natural oils to heal the skin. what do you think about moisturizing after cleansing with the ABS from coastal scents? thanks alot, sorry for the long question
I have already answered these questions either in my video, or when you first asked it. For answers please re-watch the video and see my answer to you below.
If you have anymore questions then I would give Coastal Scents a call since they sell it and they may have more information. I can only give you my personal opinion, and what has worked for me.....and we have different skin.
How did your come??? Mine came hard and i dont know how to use it, i think they froze it when the shipped it, do you know what I can do about this????
Mine came as I showed in the video. It was not frozen, it was in a solid piece. I'm assuming the weather may have affected yours. If you are having problems then I would give their customer service a call.
Im srry i was talking bout the shea butter, but I watched your review on it so its okay, this review made me want to buy the products and they have made my skin feel sooooooo smooth and its looks pretty, i love it thanks!
wow am west african and d black soap origonates from there i have known this since i was a child its nice to c the western world appreciate how produce
after seeing your review, i gave it a try. i must say, you were spot on! all in all, i love it. it's a strange(unique?) but great product. love that it's natural and love how it makes my skin feel. thanks for the wonderful review! i knew exactly what to expect. this + an over the counter vitamin A supplement (just enough to account for the fact that i get 0 of it in my diet!) = serious improvements in my skin. thanks for such an accurate and helpful review!
Wow, that's awesome! I'm so glad it works, it really is just the best. Yes, it is strange, and most people (including me at first) are like "uh.......ew" lol. Good tip about the Vitamin A. I take a multi vitamin and Fish Oil, I wonder how much A I'm getting now....hmmm....
hiii, can you tell me what is your skin condition? i couldnt quite hear what is was...i may have that too..but im not sure...i might actually buy one too :P
I have keratosis pilaris, its the "chicken skin" little bumps usually on the backs of the arms. I also have keratosis pilaris rubra faceii. It causes a major discolorations on my face.
The soap hasn't "cured" the condition, and it won't because it's cause is an internal issue.
The soap has however made my skin much softer, the bumps aren't as noticeable. But my acne has completely gone away:D
I have oily skin. like not to much, but u can see a shine. Like i dont knw if this is common, but every-time i tan, i breakout lol. why. so how do use this, twice a day and do i have to moisturize?
Just use it as you would a regular face cleanser. I just use it in the shower and when I need to remove makeup. During the winter I moisturize, in the summer I don't. I have normal to dry skin. So you'll just have to see how your skin is when you use it to see if you need to moisturize or not:)
Love your honesty. I went on the coastal Scents site and was amazed by all the positive reviews. I also asked a Liberian neighbor about the soap and she raved about it. she gets her soap from Africa and said that natural is definitely the way to go and not to trust the drugstore brand of "black soap". I just ordered the soap and the shea butter and can't wait to share the results with you.
theres a beauty supply store in my area ran by asians..an theres a whole international section there. i got sum blck soap but not the natural one...next time ima get the one with lemongrass..that one spells amazing!! plus its cheap..like 2 bucks
The cocoa butter smells amazing like chocolate.but you do have to heat it up a bit to use, which i guess is the down side. but other than that its awesome.
i love this soap my mum use to use it on me when i was a child, when i had my son his skin would react to the johnson baby soap, too much chemicals in them. this soap realy helped out alot and i havnt stop using since
I LOVE YOUR REVIEW!!! I just purchased mine i have really oily skin and i don't know what it is but it cleans my face so well and it balanced the oiliness!!
Do you know where the palm oil comes from? I know its fair trade which is AWESOME but if they are cutting down rainforest type areas to do it then thatd be a huge bummer since it sounds perfect!
Great review this has been a secret of african women since the beginning of time AND THEIR SKIN IS LEGENDARY LOOK AT IMAN....??? it evens skin tone as well i live in new york they sell it on the streets in harlem

Hi there,
Many thanks for your reply - I have one more question. I would like to know if I could use the african black soap and unrefined shea butter on my face, considering that I live in a humid humid place like Singapore, where we only either get rain or shine. I have been researching on these products on Asian skin, especially mine, which is of Pakistani descent (if that even makes a difference) and could not find any reviews on...so would really like to hear your advise on that. Thank you

@queenofspades01 I use the ABS and unrefined shea butter on my face. Depending on the humidity you may find it too heavy. However it's still good for your skin either way. So when it's humid I just apply less of the butter and in the winter when it's dry I add more.

Anyhow, I just got mine in and used it last night and MY GOODNESS! You weren't kidding. My skin is so soft and the bumps I had yesterday are very small today. Good grief! I am very grateful to you for this and can't thank you enough because your review is what made me try it out. So glad I did! Thank you SO MUCH!

so - you said if there were questions... mine is, erm, ODD
i've recently become disabled. as in - can't get off the bed, sponge baths sort of disabled. i'm DESPERATELY looking for a soap that actually CAN be used in sponge bathing. every soap i've tried [except the medical soap - ew!] has NOT worked - there's a residue, because it's not a shower/bath. it has to be WIPED off. anyway could you see if it would work in this fashion? id be 4ever grateful! and would buy, if it works! my b/f sent me:)
denelian1 1 year ago
@denelian1 I think that it could work, however I'm not sure that what I think you are saying is exactly what you are saying. But there is no residue at all, and unless you were under a constant stream of water there would be a residue from most soaps. But this soap doesn't leave one so I think it would work. However, Coastal Scents won't accept it as a return if you don't like it, so if it doesn't work then I'd give it as a gift to someone. FYI
sorrysary 1 year ago
@sorrysary yeah - that's what i was asking. most soaps, there's a LOT of residue, no amount of rubbing w/ a cloth gets rid of it. it's worth a shot - as you say, i can always use a gift if it doesn't work! thanks for the info; no way was i going to try without SOME idea!

@sparks199 I use Olive oil as a moisturizer for my skin after using the soap. Like you would lotion.
lyfeluvdrama 1 year ago
Black soap is strong stuff, i use liquid black soap and add jojoba oil and tea tree to it. The liquid stuff is much easier to handle and is not as messy, plus like i said you can add oils to it. I leave the black soap on for around a minute then rinse off. Oh and don't splash your face with cold water after washing, it just irritates your face, the whole hot water opens pores and cold closes them is a myth. It is no miracle cure but if you persevere it will give you good results.

@captainfrank31 I have only tried the CS soap so I'm not sure about the Dudu-osun brand. However, it's really about WHERE the soap comes from, not who sells it. So do some research and if it's from a legit place (like Ghana) then it should be okay.

@sikarenisme I'm really not sure. There are probably some people that had their skin act a bit crazy in the beginning because it's not used to it. I'd keep trying it and see if it gets any better, I'm assuming that it will! You can always call CS and ask them too.

You know i have been using this soap since i was a kid and i never had a rash or eczeem nor acne.
The original name is Alata Semina (Ghanaian Twi name for it).
After using this product always moisturize your body or face with sheabutter of cocobutter and you will see a very big difference

Ive been using this soap for three days and my skin is a little dry where i have acne scars and I'm kinda breaking out here (just a little) :[ is that normal? i heard skin reacts when you use something new but is this supposed to happen? will it go away? will my skin get used to it and get better? :[ Please answer :S

@hibiscus555 I haven't ever had that happen to me, but it might have happened to someone else, so I can't say if it's "normal" or not. Your skin might have to get used to it, however putting something natural on your skin shouldn't make your skin have to "work", you know what I mean? You might want to call Coastal Scents and see if they can answer some of your questions. Good luck!

The reason you can't comb through your hair after washing with African Black Soap, is because it is opening the cuticle of the hair. You need to close the cuticle before getting out of the shower. You do this by rinsing with Apple Cider Vinegar. Look it up on the internet to get the correct water to vinegar ratio.
If you don't close the cuticle you will break your hair when trying dry and fix it later.

@vivecarocks It's removing everything from your face, so it's going to feel totally different especially if you have oily skin to begin with. I would use this daily, and if you need a moisturizer then just use an oil-free one. This stuff is way to good to only be used a couple times a week.

Do I even need a face salt scrub, clay mask, and skin toner if I have black soap in my life? Am I spending more $ than I need to? Is Black Soap supposed to do it ALL? I have been using Black Soap, but I have a habit of still using my face scrub, clay mask and skin toner...Am I overstressing my skin? Am I overdoing it? Can I just rely on Black Soap to do those other things along with washing?
vivecarocks 1 year ago
@vivecarocks I guess it's just dependent on your skin! I still use my St. Ives scrub maybe once a week still. However I doubt you'd need a toner. I really think it just depends on your skin and what it needs. For cleansing, I use the soap. For a deep, deep clean then I use a scrub when I feel like I need it. Just keep an eye on what your skin looks and feels like while only using the soap, if it feels fine then good. If not, then incorporate some of the other things back in. Hope it helped;)

i've known about it since my freshman year of college but the accessiblity wasn't as great then. i've been natural (no relaxer in my hair) for 1.5 yrs and i've since been converting to more natural products. i love african black soap. i recommend it for anyone with any skin conditions [acne, eczema, seborrhea, etc]. better yet, i recommend it for anyone with skin, period! *L*

Right, it's not an allergy. However if you carry the KP "gene" and you have a food allergy that is not controlled, then KP will show on you. A person can carry the "gene" and still not have KP show on them.

odedaj: Castile soap is made of coconut and olive oils and has been made for thousands of years. it's extremely gentle and can be used for EVERYTHING!! you can use it to clean pesticides and wax off fresh produce, use it for laundry, wash your hair....even to brush your teeth. Black soap is made of honey and a bunch of wonderful things it's most commonly in a block where the dr. bronners comes in a bottle. I wouldn't suggest castile soap for moisture but Black soap would work well!

hi, thank you for such a thorough review. i'm thinking of switching to castile soup (dr. bronners) but wondered if you can tell me a little about the difference with that and the black soap...i bathe my grandmother and wanted something moisturizing for her. love the hair--i'm asian but with wavy natural locks like you. have a great day!

I bought the soap from Coastal Scents...IDK how long ago...maybe a few weeks. Gosh I LOVE IT. When I first used it, it was like burning a little but then afterward my skin has been feeling so soft and clear...it is amazing. My pimples are slowly going away...but I wonder it is also good for black heads...I have some on my nose?
SexyDrBitch 1 year ago
I don't think so because a blackhead is actually hardened dirt and oil. This must be removed by softening the dirt and oil, then squeezing it out. Think of it as a bucket (your pore) full of dirt. Washing the top layer of dirt won't clean out the bucket. :) There are probably a few videos on here about removing blackheads, so I'd watch them and see if it works! Good luck to you:D

Ok thanks hun. That made a lot of sense.....but so far my skin is looking good. Even my mother commented on it and confessed to me that she uses my black soap smh lmfao.

Just use it as you would a regular face cleanser. I just use it in the shower and when I need to remove makeup. During the winter I moisturize, in the summer I don't. I have normal to dry skin. So you'll just have to see how your skin is when you use it to see if you need to moisturize or not:)
