Nubian Heritage Lemongrass & Tea Tree Bar Soap, 5 oz (Pack of 4)

This soap is great. I use it as a daily bar soap in the shower. The ingredients are wonderful, and I am very strict about ingredients and knowing what I am putting on/in my body. I use ewg.org/skindeep as a reference to look up all products and ingredients that I use (hair, makeup, sunscreen, chapstick, soap, toner, make-up remover....everything) and this soap is acceptable for my high standards of product chemistry. The smell is wonderful and lemony, it cleanses easily and well and comes off quickly. I originally bought it to try as a face soap because of the tea tree oil but it dried my face out so I switched to using it on my body (it helps with backne/back acne) and is not too drying there. For my face I use Nubian Heritage's African black soap which is also great in terms of its ingredients and has kept my face very clear (I have combination skin and mild acne before using this, now my skin is much better). The african black soap and lemongrass soap are about $3-4 a bar at Vitamin Shoppe, so cheaper in bulk here on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Bar-Soap-African-Blk-Pack/dp/B001E0VBDK/ref=sr_1_1?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1428767518&sr=1-1&keywords=nubian+heritage+african+black+soapThe body lotion I use is great ingredient-wise (no sls, parabens, fragrance/parfum, bht, etc.) and is very effective in the northeast winter and will help if this soap dries you out:http://www.amazon.com/Shea-Moisture-Butter-Healing-Lotion/dp/B005C2NAO4/ref=sr_1_1?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1428767614&sr=1-1&keywords=shea+moisture+baby+lotionIf you use it as a daily face soap and find it too drying, I recommend the NH African black soap with this face lotion (does not cause me to break out: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0027UQDB6/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_9) and this toner (http://www.amazon.com/Thayers-Alcohol-Free-Witch-Formula-Unscented/dp/B001DJDP7C/ref=sr_1_2?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1428767910&sr=1-2&keywords=thayer%27s+witch+hazel).Above all, I highly recommend researching all ingredients of every product you use, you would be surprised at what chemicals are allowed in products.

This soap is definitely a life saver! I'm an adult and don't have bad acne but I do get pimples pretty often. I originally wanted to find a natural soap to wash my body with but I found I could use this on my face too! The medicated soap I was using on my face before DRIED my skin so badly! It kept the pimples away but at the cost of having to put heavy lotion on my face!This soap on the other hand does dry a bit but definitely not as bad as medicated soaps! It smells good too!It's a fairly large bar of soap and lasts a LONG time.My cousin who is a teen had lots of pimples all over her forehead and she would try to cover it with bangs etc. It definitely was stunting her self confidence! Her mother said she's spent hundreds of dollars on soaps and creams etc. that didn't work. I gave her a bar of this soap and her mom said within a couple of weeks she could already see the pimples fading. It's hard being a teen and going through changes but to add pimples all over your face to the equation is a killer!I think this soap is also good if you don't have any problems but are just looking for an all natural soap to bathe with. I'm definitely a fan.I definitely recommend this soap!If you found my review helpful please click yes below.

I work in healthcare, so I wash my hands compulsively even when I'm not at work. Dial soap has its place, but it dries my hands like crazy, so I switched to bar soaps for when I don't need full death-and-destruction disinfection, to alleviate the dry red patches on the backs of my hands.I love these bars. Tea tree is supposedly antibacterial, along with some of the other citrus components listed in the ingredients. The scent is a nice, naturally light lemon, and I LOVE the scrubby specks embedded in the bar. They clean off my hands without desiccating them--and I *feel* clean. Plus, it doubles as a facial cleanser, especially good for oily skin (I use this in rotation with 5 other Nubian Heritage soaps; haven't seen dramatic improvements in my mild acne vs. other soap brands though).I bought this pack for ~$15, and I don't think $3/bar is astronomically high for a soap that's predominantly shea, coconut, and cocoa butter, and produced by a small company.

Overall this product isnt too bad. Another reviewer stated that they were hoping for a more potent lemongrass scent and I am inclined to agree. I wish it was a little stronger as well. As you used the soap you could smell it more but I was left wanting.Otherwise it has a fine lather, cleans well, etc.

I was hunting for a good soap to use on my acne/blackhead prone teen for body use. This soap smells wonderful, rinses clean and does seem to help a lot with her skin issues; especially if used twice a day. Very happy and have started using it for myself. The scent is wonderful!

I have now purchased more than 50 bars of this soap. It is wonderful, leaves you clean and has a nice subtle fragrance. Since I reside in Florida, it is important that it is antibacterial, anti fungal and anti microbial. I have handed this soap out to relatives and friends with skin problems and they always want more. Great stuff. A bar usually lasts a few weeks with daily showers for two or three people.

Well bought this soap on a wim ,usually by the black soap .This soap is very fragrant and soaps well and has a sort of courseness to it and lasts very long.I am apparently addicted to it because now I have to take it to my shore house because I had a different soap in the shower and didn't feel clean after.Go figure ! So give it a try especially if you suffer from slight skin dryness as I do ,and importantly no itching after a shower .!,,
