Alaffia Skin Care, Authentic African Black Soap, All in One Body Wash, Face Wash, Shampoo & Shaving Soap with Fair Trade Shea Butter, Wild Lavender, 16 Fl Oz

AMAZING. That really could be the whole review right there. Helped me with dry scalp/dandruff, is gentle, leaves me clean and smelling good, doesn't dry out my hair, and the bottle is huge but affordable! Sometimes I also use it as body wash.I was using Shea moisture hair care stuff before this brand and even tried the Shea moisture black soap line, but it does not compare at all. I switched back to this, throwing the SM bottle away before I'd even finished it! It's become a staple for me.Have not tried the conditioner tho. I use a hair mask in place of conditioner (only wash my hair every 2-3 days) and the combo works so so well 🥰

This product is great. Love the way they smell. It does have you squeaky clean, lol. I even use it on my hair.

Makes skin feel very soft, use it for bathing, showers, and as a hand soap.

If you enjoy castille soap like I do then you’ll really like this product. One review stated it’s thicker and it is but not by much. I prefer this texture over castille soap. This soap is more moisturizing than your traditional castille soap. My only issue is the smell. It is not tangerine it is lemongrass. I actually love lemongrass scent I’m not too concerned but it is extremely strong. I mean it smells like a whole bottle of it was dumped into this. So it more on the multipurpose cleaner side of smell. I gave it 4 stars due to the smell. But for now I really like it and use it mainly in the bath

*Update* This is my go-to cleanser now. I found my overly oily skin issues were a result of my diet. Brominated oils and basically everything non-organic at the store caused this. Review changed from 4 star to 5. My last couple bottles did not have cap issues.Bought this as an alternative to my other body washes because I've been specifically looking for stuff with tea tree oil. This is because I have an underlying issue, seborrheic dermatitis. I have tea tree soap and that works great, but it's mainly "designed" for skin applications, not hair. I say this because it does still function as a shampoo with no ill effects. But I saw the eucalyptus and neem (neem is also great to fight against skin issues) and decided to give this a try.PROS:-This keeps my face clear, just like the tea tree soap. By clear I mean SD flareups. I don't have acne trouble so I can't really comment on that.- It doesn't smell overly like tea tree or neem (both have distinct... "aromas" to them.)-I find it lathers well when used on my face. My beard acts as a built in loofah. As a body wash, an external loofah would be necessary.-There's a lot in this bottle, and I don't use very much at a time.MEDIOCRE:-My face still gets shiny shortly after washing (it actually doesn't really help against shine) and when using it as a hair wash, my hair feels a bit stripped. So it does clean.-It does smell SLIGHTLY medicinal, otherwise, not too appealing to me. I much prefer my normal body wash smells over this, but I have noticeable skin issues this helps with. I HAVE to use a beard wash after to cover the smell.-It's stringy, and can make a mess. I've wiped the tip of the opening on a rag and ended up still drawing a long string of it out, getting all over the sides of the bottle and making a mess. Not too bad, it washes off, but it does happen.CONS:-The bottle was damaged when I got it. The cap was taped closed, but the back of the flip cap was busted and physically separated from the bottle, and quite a bit spilled out. Not like a fourth of the bottle, but the inside of the box was wet. Luckily, my other product wasn't damaged. Now, it has no flip-top action, I just have to pull it completely off and then reseat it correctly when I''m done.Overall, I will plan to buy this again unless I see something else that works a little better. Even if I do, I feel this product, for me, is a solid 4 stars.

I love the texture and scent of this soap! I use it as shampoo, as well and my scalp and hair feel great. It's a great value and has quality ingredients. I will definitely be reordering!

I've been using the peppermint version of this soap for a few years now. I like how it feels, it has a mild scent, and it doesn't irritate my skin or dry it out. I have had a hard time finding soaps that meet those criteria (especially the scent: I don't like strong smells), so I've been sticking with this one. It takes a bit more soap to clean my whole body than other soaps, but I always thought it was worth it for the quality.However, I have had a consistent problem with the bottles arriving with the cap lid cracked or, in the case of the one that just came today, completely broken. There is no seal under the cap and the lid is very thin and fragile.The cracks in the lid are always similar to those shown in the pictures.These usually ship to me from an Amazon warehouse, so the poor packing for shipping that allows the fragile cap to crack is on them, but the bottle cap being fragile in the first place is on the manufacturer.I'm assuming the manufacturer knows that this packaging isn't up to snuff, because the bottles I've gotten in the past year or so have all had tape attached from the lid to the bottle to keep them closed during shipping. This usually keeps leakage to a minimum. Usually...Having to wash a puddle of soap off of my porch and now needing to clean up this mess of a container so I can take it to UPS for return is the final straw for me.When this stuff gets bottled with a cap that can survive shipping better, I'll be interested in buying it again. Until then, I've found a bar soap that I like well enough.(I didn't post the picture of the soap puddle on the porch because the shipping label was visible. My bad. It was quite the sight.Also: this box was packed with the bottle on the bottom, as shown, with a strip of those air pillows on top to fill the space. There was no cushioning between the product and the bottom of the shipping box.)

I have been using Alaffia liquid soap for several years and love it! It is great for mosturizing dry or sensitive skin and I have even used it as a shampoo. I highly recommend it!

I’ve been using black Soap for years and this brand is absolutely amazing

Not only does it leave my hair feeling clean and soft, it is helping with my itchy scalp. Previously I used a tar based shampoo, but this seem to be helping and I have less itching between shampooing.

I really enjoyed this product. I used it on my locs and it removed all the residue that was on it with just one wash.
