The soap arrives unperfumed and unprocessed so you receive the authentic texture and natural hues of traditionally produced black soap. Because it’s raw, small particles and a coarser surface are normal and the product is intended to be lathered in the hands or on a washcloth before application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should I use this raw African black soap safely?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo not rub the bar directly across delicate facial skin. Instead, create a rich lather in your palms or on a soft washcloth, then apply that lather to skin or hair.

Those elements can feel slightly grainy if applied directly, which is why lathering before application is recommended.
