What is shungite and why is it in a bath and shower soap?

Shungite is a black, carbon-rich mineral from Karelia used in cosmetics for its antioxidant role on the skin surface. In this soap it helps make cleansing feel less stripping and more balanced.

Will this soap leave my skin feeling dry and tight like some other body washes?

This soap combines washing agents with glycerin and aloe vera, so it aims to cleanse without leaving that tight, over-washed feeling. It is still a cleanser, not a moisturiser, so very dry areas may still need your usual body lotion.

Can I use this soap on sensitive or reactive skin?

The formula contains generally well-tolerated ingredients like glycerin, aloe vera and shungite, but if your skin is very reactive it is wise to do a patch test first and stop use if any irritation appears.

Black Shungite Bath and Shower Soap 500g is a cosmetic liquid body cleansing soap formulated with shungite (шунгит) — a rare, ancient black carbonaceous mineral from the Shunga deposit in Karelia, Russia — as the principal distinctive cosmetic active. Shungite is a unique natural mineraloid estimated to be approximately two billion years old and composed predominantly of carbon (~98%), with a characteristic layered carbon structure and containing a broad spectrum of natural trace mineral elements. In cosmetic preparations, shungite is valued for its skin-conditioning and antioxidant properties, helping to neutralise free radicals on the skin surface and contributing to the maintenance of a healthy, balanced skin appearance. The soap formula also contains aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis leaf juice), glycerin and gentle cleansing surfactants. Free from aggressive sulphates in the main formula. The soap lathers well, cleanses the skin thoroughly, soothes irritation, and leaves the skin feeling soft and fresh. Parabens: no. For daily use. 500 g.

ŠUNGIIT Black Shungite Bath & Shower Soap 500 g

ŠUNGIIT Black Shungite Bath & Shower Soap 500 g is a liquid body soap for people who want effective cleansing without that tight, over-washed feeling afterwards. It combines washing agents with glycerin, aloe vera and shungite mineral, so the skin is cleaned while also feeling smoother and calmer after rinsing.

The most distinctive part of this formula is shungite, a black carbon-rich mineral traditionally associated with the Karelia region. In cosmetics, shungite is appreciated mainly for its antioxidant role on the skin surface: antioxidants help counter the impact of oxidative stress caused by environmental factors such as dry air, temperature changes and urban exposure. This does not turn a soap into a treatment product, but it can make the cleansing step feel less stripping and more balanced.

Key components

Shungite mineral — a carbon-rich mineral valued for its antioxidant role on the skin surface.
Aloe vera — widely used in bath and shower products because it helps the skin feel soothed, especially after washing.
Glycerin — a classic humectant that attracts water and helps reduce that rough, dehydrated sensation some cleansers can leave behind.

When people choose it

Together, these components make this bath and shower soap suitable for regular use on the body. It may suit those who:

Want a fresh, clean finish with a softer skin feel — after exercise, in the morning shower, or any time of day.
Prefer liquid soap textures.
Enjoy mineral-based cosmetics.
Want a large-format family bathroom cleanser.

Important notes

If your skin is very reactive, it is sensible to watch how it responds when introducing any new body wash. For external use only. If it gets into the eyes or causes irritation, rinse well and stop use.

Customer Questions

Shungite is a black, carbon-rich mineral historically associated with the Karelia region. In cosmetics, it is valued mainly for its antioxidant role on the skin surface. Antioxidants help counter the impact of oxidative stress caused by environmental factors such as dry air, temperature changes and urban exposure. In this liquid bath and shower soap, shungite is one of three key components alongside glycerin and aloe vera. It does not turn the product into a treatment — it is still a cleanser, not a serum or cream — but it can make the cleansing step feel less stripping and more balanced. If you are drawn to mineral-based cosmetics, this is the ingredient that gives the product its distinctive character. In practical terms, shungite does not change how the soap foams or rinses; it is part of the formula's overall skin-feel profile. There is no need to expect visible particles, grey colour or a gritty texture — the mineral is incorporated into the liquid soap and is not meant to exfoliate. As with any cosmetic ingredient, its action is on the skin surface, not inside the body.

Standard liquid body soaps can remove dirt and sebum efficiently, but sometimes leave a tight, over-washed feeling. This soap is formulated with washing agents combined with glycerin and aloe vera, so the skin is cleaned while also feeling smoother and calmer after rinsing. Glycerin is a classic humectant: it attracts water and helps reduce the rough, dehydrated sensation some cleansers can leave behind. Aloe vera is widely used in bath and shower products because it helps the skin feel soothed, especially after washing. The result is a clean, fresh finish that is less likely to feel parched. Keep in mind that this is still a cleanser, not a body moisturiser: if your skin is naturally dry, particularly on areas like knees and elbows, follow with your usual body lotion. The product is intended for washing the body, not as a facial cleanser, and it is suitable for regular use in morning showers, after exercise, or any time of day. The large 500 g format makes it practical for family bathroom use, though you do not need to use more than a normal amount of liquid soap each wash — a small amount on damp skin goes as far as any body wash.

If your skin is very reactive, it is sensible to watch how it responds when introducing any new body wash, and this one is no exception. Before using it all over, apply a small amount to a small area of skin — for example, the inner forearm — and rinse off. Wait at least 24 hours to see if redness, itching or irritation appears. If the skin reacts, stop use and rinse the area with water. The product is for external use only; if it gets into the eyes, rinse well with water and discontinue use. It contains shungite mineral, aloe vera and glycerin, and while these are generally well tolerated, individual responses vary. Avoid using it on broken, cracked or irritated skin. If you have a diagnosed skin condition such as eczema or dermatitis, or if you are under dermatological care, talk to a specialist before adding a new cleanser to your routine. Likewise, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult a professional if you have any concerns about new cosmetic products. This soap is not intended to diagnose, treat or prevent any skin disease — it is simply a body cleanser.
