Spotlight: Hibiscus (“nature’s Botox”)
Hibiscus is loaded with natural AHAs and antioxidants that gently resurface, boost the look of firmness, and soften fine lines—which is why it’s often nicknamed “nature’s Botox.” (No needles, just a smoother, brighter appearance.)

Daily Routine
Gently cleanse your face morning and night with the African Black Soap Face Wash. Pro tip: Pair it with our Large Face Scrubber for a deeper clean.
Remove hair from the root using plucking, waxing, threading, sugar waxing, or epilating for best results. Apply a small amount of Hair Reducing Fade Oil twice daily—even on days you don’t remove hair. Note: Shaving, electric razors, and hair removal creams will not deliver significant results.
Follow with our Facial Moisturizer to lock in hydration. Always apply after the Fade Oil, never before. Apply any other product after Hair ReducingFade Oil
Use the Facial Sugar Scrub before or after washing your face.Continue with daily routine.Tip: exfoliate no more then 2-3x a week.
Apply the Shea Shave Stick Butter to damp skin, massage in, and shave in the direction of hair growth. Continue with your daily routine. Tip: Use a single-blade razor to reduce and prevent ingrown hairs. Look up “shave mapping” to master your technique
Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.5 / 5 from 61 reviews.
This face wash never fails! Ive been using this brand for over 4 years and I keep coming back to this soap particularly for my sensitive skin. I've used this to clear up acne after birth control and haven't stoped since. Fits in my luggage and doesn't leak like most travel size bottles while getting beat up during traveling. I'm on my last drop after having this for months, need to purchase more asap
2nd time ordering this product. I’ve tried soooo many products for YEARS!!! But this one here!!!! Long lasting, lathers so well and most importantly, removes the black marks on my skin. I use it on my face and bikini line and it works wonders.
Liquid African Black Soap Face Wash
Store owner replied: Incredible results! Thank you so much for pictures showing improvement. Your dark marks have really lightened up! We thank you so much for being a returning client! Thanks, Umber
It's good but would like it to be in a pump form because it's hard to extract out, especially if you don't have a lot of strength in your fingers.
I have had an amazing outcome using the products and I can definitely tell the difference in the way my skin feels and minimal hair growth.
It did not work.
Soap helps keeps my face feeling refreshed and clean.
Love the smooth feel of this soap.
The soap has a nice scent… cleans…
Love the deep cleanse feel
The product itself is great. The reason for the 3-star rating is the bottle. The dispenser top opening is clearly too small, and every time I use it, the product either clogs the top or squeezes out the sides. I believe I have wasted as much product as I have used. For the price, I can’t afford to waste this product. Please fix the dispenser top or use a different type!
If product is used consistently and applied every day, it will work.
Great product!
It helps slow down the hair growth and it helps reduce acne and the scaring.
3-4 drops of this will leave your skin glowing OK!!!! Better results with a facial brush pad.

It’s a really good wash and I love it, but it does dry your skin. It has a light fragrance, not strong at all. The hair minimizing oil, I have not seen any major change in my skin yet. However, I’m still using it pretty much daily and sometimes two times a day. I’ve been using it since April.
2 oz Liquid African Black Soap Face Wash
I suffer from PCOS, so I have all of the symptoms including the hair growth on my neck and chin. Since using this product, I've noticed that my hair grows slower and finer. This product is a blessing and a great staple to have in your face cleansing routine. Highly recommend!

The smell is terrible, so I stooped using it. I tried to give it a chance but the odor is horrible to me. If the smell changes then I will try the product again. I gave 3 stars because the customer service is great. ,
I write this with a sad heart because overall I love your products. But the black soap since the bees wax has been added does not work the same. Since using it I have had more breakouts and it does not clean as well… absolutely no lather when using with my sponge or exfoliator. Not to mention it is so runny.

Store owner replied: I hear you Ms LaToya, and I'm happy to say we are working with the manufacturers now to get it back to the way it was. I even like the older version better! Stay tuned to our instagram page @umberjlenay to be notified when its back in stock <3 Umber Support Team
I love the soap and how my skin feels after using it.
This is my second time ordering the liquid African black soap. This time the color is different, it smells like a fragrance was added and it doesn’t seem to lather as well. 😞
Liquid African Black Soap Face Wash
Store owner replied: Thank you for sending in your review! We did add bee wax to our face wash, which is why the color is different. That way the soap could have a smoother transition out of the bottle (stop getting stuck), and that adds nutrients to the face. As far as the scent, we did not add anything extra but switched to an even better quality oil for some of the essential oils. I hope these changes are not too much for you and you can still enjoy our products! As always we really appreiciate your business <3 Umber Support Team
not working for me. I seem to have gotten bumps when I use soap and dark spot are still there.
I’ve been using this face wash for a couple weeks, and I’m actually seeing results! Very happy with this and the fade cream.
The face wash, moisturizer and hair oil is simply amazing….so much so, my boyfriend uses it and now we’re both ordering more…thank you for making my skin healthy and feel amazing!!!
Great product!

The face wash gave my face the pick-me-up that it needed. After being a loyalist to other brands for so many years with a resistance to change, it was nice to find something that could handle my dry, sensitive, hyperpigmented skin without irritation. My face feels restored with a nice glow that I didn’t anticipate. The difference was noticeable and immediate after the first usage. I appreciate the care that went into the design of this product. I also purchased the fade oil (my primary reason for coming across this company in my search) and exfoliating scrub, and I’m looking forward to adding other items to the collection.
I’ve been using this product for a couple of years and I have experienced amazing results 🤩

Liquid African Black Soap Face Wash
Store owner replied: Congrats on your consistency! Keep up the good work <3 Umber Support Team
I do love the fresh, clean feeling this soap provides. After a long day I like to wash my face with this because it does a good job at washing away whatever built up on my face throughout the day. I have sensitive skin so I was afraid this would irritate my skin but surprisingly I had no bad reaction to it. I still suffer from random breakouts from time to time so I can't say this soap is a miracle worker. But in the grand scheme of things it's one of the best facial cleansers I've come across. Oh and the smell is actually not bad either, reminds me of essential oils.

The soap is so good! The best!
Hello Jasmine, Thank You much for reaching out; and definitely thank you for sending the order in such a good amount of time; have to say I am seeing a difference in how my face looks and feels; my process may be a bit slower though as I’m doing combo of electrolysis (use the product), and when new hair starts growing I stop using the product as I want to have those hairs grow out, so when I go for the next appt of electrolysis they get those and I start back using the product; spreading it out but I do see a difference..Greatly Appreciate You creating such a product as it’s truly needed..
