Traditional Black Soap with Euclyptus



Black soap originates from Morocco and is a magic product for skin. It's is a sort of paste (like a scrub without the particles). It's obtained from a mix of olive oil and crushed black olives. Very rich in vitamin E, it's gentle and suits all skin types. 


This soft soap is perfumed with essential oils of eucalyptus*.Thanks to its exfoliating and moisturizing properties, it softens and nourishes the skin deep down. It doesn't foam, but turns creamy when water is added. Use with a « kassa » (scouring glove). Black soap can be used on the body, face and hands, but not around the eyes.


After applying black soap to wet skin, wait five minutes then rub vigorously with the Kaé scouring glove in wide circles, paying special attention to problem zones. To finish, rinse with warm water. Your skin will feel softer and imperfections will disappear.





* Eucalyptus, originally from Australia, was introduced in Morocco by French authorities during the colonial period for reforestation.
