Patch-test if you have sensitive skin, then rinse thoroughly and moisturize afterward. Avoid contact with eyes and use as you would any concentrated cleanser.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDilute 1:1 with water for a mild body wash.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRub a little paste on wet hands or a sponge to create foam for face cleansing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePatch-test behind the ear for 24 hours before full-face use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFollow with a moisturizer or oil to lock in hydration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use it on hair and scalp, and how should I apply it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe paste works as a clarifying shampoo when mixed with water—apply to wet hair, massage into scalp to loosen buildup, then rinse well. For best results, follow with a conditioner or a light oil if hair feels dry. Use periodically as a scalp treatment rather than daily if you have dry or color-treated hair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCreate a shampoo by diluting paste in warm water until it foams comfortably.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMassage onto scalp for 1–3 minutes to remove oil and flakes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRinse thoroughly and condition mid-lengths to ends.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse weekly for oily scalps or every 2–3 weeks for normal\/dry hair.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat ingredients are in this soap and why do they matter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe list is intentionally short and natural: extra virgin coconut oil, raw cocoa and plantain skin ashes, unrefined palm kernel oil, shea butter, natural vitamin E and water.
