1. What is Black Soap?

Originating from Morocco, black soap is a soft and creamy plant-based paste made from olive oil and crushed olives. Its unique texture allows for gentle exfoliation and intense skin hydration. It is mainly used in Moroccan hammams to deeply purify the epidermis.

There are several variants of black soap, enriched with natural ingredients with specific benefits:

Black soap with turmeric: known for its brightening and antioxidant properties.

Black soap with Nila powder: ideal for evening out the complexion and illuminating the skin.

Black soap with lavender: with soothing and relaxing virtues, perfect for a moment of relaxation.
