Shea Moisture African Black Soap Face & Body Bar 4-Count (3.5 oz) — For Oily Skin, Tea Tree & Tamarind

SheaMoisture African Black Soap Face & Body Bar is a paraben-free cleansing bar formulated with tamarind and tea tree to clarify oily, blemish-prone skin while offering gentle exfoliation.

This solid face and body bar blends traditional African black soap heritage with modern skincare needs. Designed to help reduce excess shine and remove surface buildup, the bar uses tamarind to support gentle exfoliation and tea tree oil to help refresh and mattify oily complexions. The formulation is free from parabens, phthalates, mineral oil and sulfates, and it follows SheaMoisture’s community-focused sourcing and small-batch heritage.

How does this bar help oily or blemish-prone skin?

The bar targets excess oil and surface debris without overly stripping the skin. Tea tree oil provides a clarifying effect while tamarind extract assists with removing dead skin cells, leaving the skin feeling cleaner and less shiny.

• Tea tree oil helps to refresh and reduce surface oiliness.
• Tamarind extract supports gentle exfoliation for smoother texture.
• African black soap base lifts impurities and residues from skin and pores.
• Soap bar format is portable for use on face and body.

When and how should I use the SheaMoisture African Black Soap Bar?

Use the bar on damp skin during your cleansing routine, morning or night. Lather on the face or body with circular motions, rinse completely, and follow with your preferred toner or moisturizer to restore balance.

• Apply to damp skin and work into a light lather.
• Massage gently across face and neck using circular motions.
• Rinse thoroughly and pat dry; follow with African Black Soap Clarifying Toner if desired.
• Safe for body use on oily or blemish-prone areas such as back and chest.

Is the formulation gentle and ethically made?

Yes — the bar avoids common harsh additives while honoring SheaMoisture’s sourcing values. It is formulated without parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, or sulfates and continues the brand’s commitment to community commerce and fair-trade practices.

• No parabens, no phthalates, no mineral oil, no sulfates.
• Produced with a focus on sustainable sourcing and handcrafted tradition.
• Not tested on animals; family-tested heritage formulation.
• Packaged as a 3.5 oz bar available in a 4-count pack for convenience.

What results can I expect and how should I combine it with other products?

Expect clearer-feeling skin with reduced surface shine and smoother texture over consistent use. For best results, pair the bar with a balancing toner and a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer to prevent over-drying.

• Regular use can decrease surface oil and improve skin texture.
• Follow with a clarifying toner to refine pores and restore pH balance.
• Use a non-comedogenic moisturizer to maintain hydration post-cleanse.
• Can be rotated with gentler cleansers if skin becomes too dry.

Who is this for: The SheaMoisture African Black Soap Face & Body Bar is suited for adults with oily, blemish-prone skin who want a solid cleanser that combines natural extracts and clarifying oils. It’s a practical option for people seeking a sulfate- and paraben-free bar that addresses excess shine and surface congestion, and for those who appreciate ethically sourced, community-focused skincare. If you prefer very gentle or fragrance-free formulas due to sensitive skin, consider patch-testing first or alternating with a milder cleanser.
