Love this brand, but not this scent
I love this companies African black soap. It’s rich, creamy, suds up well, and makes my skin so soft. Wasn’t the biggest fan of this flavor. I like the orange and mint flavors better.

So far, this works best for my son's scalp and all over his body.
This is my 2nd purchase. I bought this based on someone on SM who has similar skin condition as my son. So far so good in regards to the horrible dry scalp & skin my 15 year old son has suffered from since he was a baby. The tea tree and eucalyptus scents are noticeable/ not offensive and seems to be the reason along with the black soap as to why I feel it works best for my son's skin type. Despite it being dark from the African black soap, it will rinse out of your wash clothe. I use white wash clothes and it rinses out very well leaving no dark residue on the wash clothe. . It is concentrated, which I like. This is based on my opinion. I will continue to buy this product. So far, I'm very pleased with using this soap that my family can use from head to toe..

Really good product
I love the value of the product comes with a lot. Product is a little thin. Make sure if you’re particular about smells to choose something that you like the scent of. Creates a great lather in the shower.

Will buy again.
*Update* This is my go-to cleanser now. I found my overly oily skin issues were a result of my diet. Brominated oils and basically everything non-organic at the store caused this. Review changed from 4 star to 5. My last couple bottles did not have cap issues.Bought this as an alternative to my other body washes because I've been specifically looking for stuff with tea tree oil. This is because I have an underlying issue, seborrheic dermatitis. I have tea tree soap and that works great, but it's mainly "designed" for skin applications, not hair. I say this because it does still function as a shampoo with no ill effects. But I saw the eucalyptus and neem (neem is also great to fight against skin issues) and decided to give this a try.PROS:-This keeps my face clear, just like the tea tree soap. By clear I mean SD flareups. I don't have acne trouble so I can't really comment on that.- It doesn't smell overly like tea tree or neem (both have distinct... "aromas" to them.)-I find it lathers well when used on my face. My beard acts as a built in loofah. As a body wash, an external loofah would be necessary.-There's a lot in this bottle, and I don't use very much at a time.MEDIOCRE:-My face still gets shiny shortly after washing (it actually doesn't really help against shine) and when using it as a hair wash, my hair feels a bit stripped. So it does clean.-It does smell SLIGHTLY medicinal, otherwise, not too appealing to me. I much prefer my normal body wash smells over this, but I have noticeable skin issues this helps with. I HAVE to use a beard wash after to cover the smell.-It's stringy, and can make a mess. I've wiped the tip of the opening on a rag and ended up still drawing a long string of it out, getting all over the sides of the bottle and making a mess. Not too bad, it washes off, but it does happen.CONS:-The bottle was damaged when I got it. The cap was taped closed, but the back of the flip cap was busted and physically separated from the bottle, and quite a bit spilled out. Not like a fourth of the bottle, but the inside of the box was wet. Luckily, my other product wasn't damaged. Now, it has no flip-top action, I just have to pull it completely off and then reseat it correctly when I''m done.Overall, I will plan to buy this again unless I see something else that works a little better. Even if I do, I feel this product, for me, is a solid 4 stars.

The Soap is Great, Bottle Cap is NOT
I've been using the peppermint version of this soap for a few years now. I like how it feels, it has a mild scent, and it doesn't irritate my skin or dry it out. I have had a hard time finding soaps that meet those criteria (especially the scent: I don't like strong smells), so I've been sticking with this one. It takes a bit more soap to clean my whole body than other soaps, but I always thought it was worth it for the quality.However, I have had a consistent problem with the bottles arriving with the cap lid cracked or, in the case of the one that just came today, completely broken. There is no seal under the cap and the lid is very thin and fragile.The cracks in the lid are always similar to those shown in the pictures.These usually ship to me from an Amazon warehouse, so the poor packing for shipping that allows the fragile cap to crack is on them, but the bottle cap being fragile in the first place is on the manufacturer.I'm assuming the manufacturer knows that this packaging isn't up to snuff, because the bottles I've gotten in the past year or so have all had tape attached from the lid to the bottle to keep them closed during shipping. This usually keeps leakage to a minimum. Usually...Having to wash a puddle of soap off of my porch and now needing to clean up this mess of a container so I can take it to UPS for return is the final straw for me.When this stuff gets bottled with a cap that can survive shipping better, I'll be interested in buying it again. Until then, I've found a bar soap that I like well enough.(I didn't post the picture of the soap puddle on the porch because the shipping label was visible. My bad. It was quite the sight.Also: this box was packed with the bottle on the bottom, as shown, with a strip of those air pillows on top to fill the space. There was no cushioning between the product and the bottom of the shipping box.)

Great product
I was already addicted to the unscented version of this and then I found PEPPERMINT!Love a multi use, natural product. I use it as shampoo, facial cleanser, body wash (and shave at the same time). Follow up with a shea butter and you’ve got yourself a winning combo.

Helped with itchy scalp
Not only does it leave my hair feeling clean and soft, it is helping with my itchy scalp. Previously I used a tar based shampoo, but this seem to be helping and I have less itching between shampooing.
