Black Soap - Orange Blossom

Very nice quality and works- wil leave your skin smooth

Makes my skin feel soft and supple and I love the smell!

Bar soap does not travel with me because I don't like to deal with grody soap containers and there is seldom space for them to be opened and laid out and rearranged. Body wash is just not soap to me. This is *real soap.* It is a thick gelatinous consistency that doesn't instantly dissolve if water splashes it. It lasts forever. I don't use the exfoliating mitt all the time; I usually use regular scrubby gloves and it is simple to get really clean and lathered up with a dab of this soap and a minimum of water if you have to conserve. The container takes a beating in the gym bag suitcase or shower tote and doesn't teeter around and fall when placed on uneven surfaces (indented soap shelves, hanging racks, etc) like a body wash would. It also does not trap pockets of water in the cap spilling out a slimy mess later like almost every other wash product including shampoo. I use it on my face when If forget face wash and it is a bit drying if not followed immediately with lotion but has never come close to causing breakouts or irritation like most bar soaps do for me. The scent is genuine, I grew up with citrus trees by my window and it is true orange blossom with a hint of unsmoky tar that does not linger, just smells very very clean.

This is completely different from African Black Soap. I thought it was the same. But this is a hydrating soap from black olives. Olive oil is great for our skin. It doesn't do all the same things as African Black Soap. But as a hydrating treatment, it's fabulous. One thing to remember, when exfoliating, use circles. Never rub in straight lines. You can hurt yourself.

Needs more viscosicty. Too stiff...needs to be reworked, otherwise decent quality for facial or other formulation
