What’s the deal with charcoal in soap?

I have been seeing charcoal face soap suggested for breakouts and oily skin but I don’t see any on your site. Is this something you would consider having in your store?
Thank you!

Charcoal sounds interesting. The only downside I can see is a loss in shelf life. Working with African shea butter, I have observed that charcoal in oils causes them to oxidize faster.

For oily skin sensitive skin I recommend Clay Soap. This is a high quality, unscented bar soap that dries up oily skin and closes pores. We used a local green clay from an organic farm. The Blue Bar (double strength tea tree and peppermint) is quite good for red infectious oily skin conditions.

Many people on the oily skin side of their lives like the Sweetgrass Shower Gel. May or not be for your face but it is quite yummy.

Look for the Skin Type Spectrum on all of our product pages. This graphic matches your skin type with the proper products in your category.

All the Best!
