Deep cleansing without forgetting moisture
Body Bar Black is our handmade black soap bar formulated to give your skin a thorough cleanse without leaving it feeling unnecessarily stripped. The formula brings together MSM Sulfur, Sea Salt, Bentonite Clay, Charcoal, Shea Butter, Coconut Oil, Safflower Seed Oil, Vegetable Glycerin, and Oat Protein to combine cleansing, oil absorption, conditioning, and moisture support in one bar.
Its rich lather helps remove the dirt, excess oil, sweat, and everyday buildup that accumulate on the skin. At the same time, moisturizing and conditioning ingredients help leave your skin feeling comfortable after rinsing.
The power behind the black bar
Charcoal and bentonite clay for a deeper cleanse
The distinctive appearance of Body Bar Black comes with a purpose.
Charcoal has a highly porous structure that makes it useful in deep-cleansing skincare formulations. Bentonite Clay is also highly absorbent and is commonly used to attract and bind excess oil and impurities on the skin's surface.
Combining these ingredients creates a cleansing experience particularly suited to skin that feels oily, congested, or exposed to sweat, environmental debris, and everyday buildup.
Cleansing and conditioning in one step
Why a deep-cleaning bar doesn't have to leave skin feeling stripped
Removing oil is only one part of cleansing. Removing too much can leave the skin feeling tight and uncomfortable.
That is why Body Bar Black also contains Shea Butter, Coconut Oil, Safflower Seed Oil, Vegetable Glycerin, Sorbitol, and Oat Protein.
Shea Butter and plant oils contribute fatty acids and emollient properties. Vegetable Glycerin and Sorbitol are humectants that help attract moisture, while Oat Protein provides conditioning benefits. Together, these ingredients balance the stronger cleansing components and help promote a softer, smoother after-feel.
A black soap for everyday skin buildup
Clean away sweat, oil and impurities
Throughout the day, sweat, sebum, dead surface cells, sunscreen, environmental particles, and other residue can collect on the skin.
Body Bar Black helps wash away this everyday buildup while Charcoal and Bentonite Clay provide additional oil-absorbing action. Sea Salt contributes a mild exfoliating quality that can help the skin feel smoother after cleansing.
This makes the bar useful after workouts, at the end of a long day, or whenever you want a more thorough cleansing experience.
Body Bar Black vs. regular soap
Multi-action skincare vs. basic cleansing
Many conventional soap bars are primarily designed to remove dirt and oil.
Body Bar Black goes further by combining a traditional cleansing base with ingredients commonly found in more specialized skincare products.
Charcoal and Bentonite Clay contribute absorbent cleansing properties. MSM Sulfur and Sea Salt complement the skin-focused formula, while Shea Butter, Coconut Oil, Safflower Seed Oil, Vegetable Glycerin, Sorbitol, and Oat Protein provide moisturizing or conditioning benefits.
The result is a bar designed to cleanse while helping maintain a balanced skin feel.
Body Bar Black vs. Body Bar Deep Cleansing
Mineral and charcoal cleansing vs. botanical essential oil cleansing
Body Bar Black and our Body Bar Deep Cleansing are both designed to provide a thorough cleanse, but their formulas approach that goal differently.
Body Bar Black centers its cleansing profile around MSM Sulfur, Sea Salt, Bentonite Clay, and Charcoal. Shea Butter, Coconut Oil, and Safflower Seed Oil complement those ingredients with conditioning and moisturizing properties.
Body Bar Deep Cleansing takes a more botanical and essential-oil-focused approach. Its formula includes Tea Tree, Eucalyptus, Ravensara, Manuka, Kanuka, True Melissa, Cajeput, Bergamot, Saint John's Wort, and Neem alongside Sea Salt and moisturizing plant oils.
Charcoal and clay vs. essential oils
Choose Body Bar Black when you want the oil-absorbing qualities of Charcoal and Bentonite Clay combined with a moisturizing soap base.
Consider Body Bar Deep Cleansing when you prefer a formula centered around cleansing botanical oils such as Tea Tree, Eucalyptus, Manuka, Kanuka, and Neem.
Both bars contain Sea Salt, Coconut Oil, Safflower Seed Oil, Vegetable Glycerin, Sorbitol, and Oat Protein, giving them some similarities in how they cleanse and condition the skin.
Body Bar Black vs. charcoal cleanser
A complete cleansing bar vs. charcoal alone
Charcoal is an important component of Body Bar Black, but it is only one part of the formula.
Instead of relying exclusively on Charcoal, we pair it with Bentonite Clay for additional absorbency, Sea Salt for a cleansing and smoothing component, and MSM Sulfur as part of the bar's skin-focused mineral blend.
We then balance those ingredients with Shea Butter, Coconut Oil, Safflower Seed Oil, Vegetable Glycerin, Sorbitol, and Oat Protein.
This combination allows Body Bar Black to offer more than the oil-absorbing properties commonly associated with a basic charcoal cleanser.
Face and body cleansing
One bar for a simple skincare routine
Body Bar Black can be incorporated into both facial and body cleansing routines.
On the body, use it to cleanse areas exposed to sweat, excess oil, and daily buildup. It can be particularly useful after physical activity or as part of your regular shower routine.
For the face, use a gentle touch and pay attention to how your skin responds. Avoid aggressive scrubbing, especially if your skin is sensitive or already exfoliated.
If your facial routine needs more than cleansing, Body Bar Black is also included in our Facial Skin Kit, which combines it with facial masks, botanical oils, and an astringent spray for a more complete skincare regimen.
A natural addition to your skincare routine
Cleanse first, then continue with targeted care
A clean surface creates a useful foundation for the products that follow.
After cleansing with Body Bar Black, you can continue your skincare routine according to your individual needs. That may include a facial mask, toner, serum, botanical oil, or moisturizer.
For a deeper mask-based routine, consider pairing the bar with our Facial Seaweed Mask. The two products perform different functions: Body Bar Black provides the cleansing step, while Facial Seaweed Mask provides a mineral-rich seaweed treatment featuring Kelp, Dulse, and Irish Moss.
Ingredients
Cleansing, absorbing and moisturizing ingredients working together
The ingredients in Body Bar Black perform different jobs. Some help remove surface buildup, some absorb excess oil, and others condition or moisturize the skin.
MSM Sulfur
MSM, or methylsulfonylmethane, is an organic sulfur-containing compound commonly incorporated into skin and personal care formulations.
Notable compounds: Methylsulfonylmethane provides organically bound sulfur.
Why we use it: We include MSM Sulfur as part of the skin-focused cleansing formula to complement the bar's mineral and purifying ingredients and support clean, healthy-looking skin.
Sea Salt
Sea Salt contributes naturally occurring minerals and gives the formula additional cleansing and mild surface-smoothing properties.
Notable compounds: Primarily sodium chloride along with varying amounts of naturally occurring mineral salts.
Why we use it: We include Sea Salt to complement cleansing and help lift away surface buildup and dead skin, contributing to a smoother skin feel.
Bentonite Clay
Bentonite is a highly absorbent natural clay primarily formed from weathered volcanic ash.
Notable compounds: Its primary clay mineral is typically montmorillonite, an aluminosilicate with strong adsorptive properties.
Why we use it: Bentonite Clay helps absorb excess oil and bind surface impurities, making it one of the key deep-cleansing ingredients in Body Bar Black.
Charcoal
Charcoal is a porous carbon-rich material widely used in cleansing skincare products.
Notable compounds: Predominantly carbon with a porous structure that provides a large surface area.
Why we use it: We use Charcoal because its porous surface helps adsorb excess oil and impurities from the skin, complementing Bentonite Clay for a more thorough cleansing experience.
Shea Butter
Shea Butter is a rich plant-derived emollient obtained from the nuts of the shea tree.
Notable compounds: Oleic acid, stearic acid, linoleic acid, palmitic acid, triterpenes, phytosterols, and other unsaponifiable compounds.
Why we use it: Shea Butter helps condition and soften the skin, balancing the more absorbent cleansing ingredients so the skin feels comfortable after washing.
Coconut Oil
Coconut Oil is a lipid-rich plant oil valued for its emollient qualities.
Notable compounds: Lauric acid is particularly abundant, accompanied by myristic, caprylic, capric, palmitic, and oleic fatty acids.
Why we use it: Coconut Oil contributes cleansing and conditioning properties while helping the skin feel soft and moisturized.
Safflower Seed Oil
Safflower Seed Oil is a lightweight botanical oil with a high concentration of unsaturated fatty acids.
Notable compounds: Linoleic acid is typically the dominant fatty acid in high-linoleic Safflower Oil, along with oleic and palmitic acids.
Notable vitamins and minerals: Safflower Oil naturally contains vitamin E compounds, particularly tocopherols.
Why we use it: We include Safflower Seed Oil to condition the skin and help maintain softness and moisture without giving the bar an excessively heavy feel.
Vegetable Glycerin
Vegetable Glycerin is a plant-derived humectant commonly used in moisturizing cleansers. Glycerin attracts water and helps support moisture retention at the skin's surface, contributing to the comfortable after-feel of Body Bar Black.
Purified Water
Purified Water provides the water phase needed during formulation and soap production. Water helps combine and process the formula's ingredients into a consistent cleansing bar.
Sodium Hydroxide
Sodium Hydroxide is used as a saponifying agent during traditional soapmaking. Sodium Hydroxide reacts with oils during saponification to create soap. Its role is in the soapmaking process rather than as an active skincare ingredient.
Sorbitol
Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol with humectant properties. Sorbitol helps attract and retain moisture, supporting a smoother and more conditioned skin feel after cleansing.
Sorbitan Oleate
Sorbitan Oleate is produced from sorbitol and oleic acid and is commonly used in cosmetic formulations. It functions primarily as an emulsifier, helping oil- and water-based ingredients remain evenly distributed throughout the formula.
Oat Protein
Oat Protein is derived from oats and provides skin-conditioning properties. Oat Protein helps condition the skin and contributes to a softer, smoother feel after cleansing.
How to use Body Bar Black
Create a rich lather
Wet Body Bar Black with warm water and work it into a lather.
Gently massage the lather onto the skin for up to 10 minutes, focusing on areas where you want a thorough cleanse.
Rinse completely with warm water and gently towel dry.
Use as needed.
Allow the bar to dry between uses and keep it away from direct sunlight to help preserve its quality.
Build a balanced cleansing routine
Deep cleansing doesn't require aggressive scrubbing
Let the ingredients in Body Bar Black do the work.
Charcoal and Bentonite Clay provide absorbent properties, while the soap base removes surface debris and oils. There is no need to aggressively scrub the skin to achieve a clean feeling.
Gentle, consistent cleansing is generally preferable to repeatedly over-cleansing the skin. Follow with the moisturizing or skincare products that best suit your individual skin type.
Keep away from direct sunlight.
