This black soap is a wash-off product, so it is not meant to stay on the skin, but it does contain a blend of more than 35 Siberian herbs and essential oils. That makes it a good idea to patch test before using it all over your body or scalp, especially if you know you react easily to herbal extracts or essential oils.
To patch test, apply a small amount of lather to the inside of your forearm, rinse it off, and wait a few hours or overnight. If you see redness, itching, or any other irritation, do not use the product further. If you have a chronic skin condition, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are on medication, consult a specialist before introducing a new herbal cleansing product into your routine.
When you do use it, avoid the eye area and rinse thoroughly. The soap gives a dense foam and a deep clean, which some skin types find refreshing, but if your skin feels tight or dry after washing, you may want to use it less often or follow with a moisturizer. It is not a treatment product and is not intended to diagnose, treat, or prevent any condition; it is simply a traditional herbal cleanser for daily body and hair care.
