Black Lavender Charcoal Soap
This is our most powerful cleansing bar — a true detox-style charcoal soap for oily, congested, and acne-prone skin. Crafted with activated charcoal and a focused blend of lavender and tea tree, this bar is designed to deeply cleanse and clarify when skin needs real help.
Because charcoal absorbs nearly everything it touches, the lavender and tea tree scent is softer and different from what you might expect — quieter, cleaner, and not perfume-forward. What it delivers instead is results. Customers who find this bar tend to come back for it again and again.
Why Charcoal Soap?
Activated charcoal is known for its ability to draw out impurities, excess oil, and buildup from the skin. This makes Black Lavender especially loved by those who struggle with:
Breakouts and blackheads
Oily or congested skin
Larger-looking pores
Sweat-prone areas
Some customers also use this bar as an occasional underarm detox soap for odor control and deep cleansing.
Important Use Notes (This Is a Strong Bar)
Charcoal is extremely effective — and because of that, this is not meant for constant daily use for everyone. Overuse can lead to dryness, especially on delicate or already-balanced skin.
For most people, we recommend:
Starting 2–3 times per week
Increasing only if your skin truly needs it
Always following with a moisturizer or facial oil
Used thoughtfully, it’s a game-changer.
How to Use
Lather with warm water and massage gently over face or body. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry. Follow with a light moisturizer or a few drops of facial oil such as jojoba or argan.
Let the bar dry fully between uses and keep it out of the direct stream of water to extend its life. A Soap Lift is highly recommended.
Pairs Perfectly With Our Charcoal Face Scrub
If you love the detox effect of this soap but find your skin asks for more comfort, alternate with our Charcoal Face Scrub from the Velvet & Grit collection. The scrub offers similar pore-clearing benefits with nourishing oils for balance.
Many customers use:
The soap a few times per week
The scrub in between
It’s a powerful, skin-smart combo.

Holiday Gifting & Teens
This bar is especially popular as a stocking stuffer and teen gift for those navigating oily skin and breakouts — practical, effective, and genuinely used (not just tucked in a drawer).
