So how much did this set you back on Amazon?Ok I am sharing this update. I ordered some African black soap from Amazon. It's not black in color. It is different shades of brown. It smells nice and lathers well. It is also very soft. I have been using it for about a few days. It is clearing up my blemishes nicely. I'll keep using it.
You probably had a better quality soap than I did. I got mine from a street vendor, and it was awesome on my skin, but left brown marks in my bathtub. Nothing that wouldn't come out with some baking soda, but it was still annoying to have to scrub it out.I've used black African soap and it's a bit drying to the complexion, I think. I didn't have any problems with staining. The only problem I had was that it was so soft. As soon as the water touched it, the soap got much smaller. It didn't last long enough. I wouldn't purchase it again.
I think you have to be careful with the black soaps because a lot of people may scam their customers. The real deal should be soft. You could've had a high quality soap. To be sure, do you live in an area with an African store of some kind? Also Whole Foods has a line of authentic Arican black soap too.You probably had a better quality soap than I did.

So far I like it. I have been a bit stressed so I have some breakouts. So far I love it. I will note that it does seem to be quite soft and considering it's homemade that makes sense. I will be getting a little jar to put the soap in. I break off a piece to use and wrap the rest up and store it. I use a moisturizer afterwards.Misu, how did this work out? I seen you ordered some from Amazon and want to know how well it worked!
