Awkward Shape but Effective

The soap arrived wrapped in plastic, and I immediately noticed the smell of tea tree oil upon removing the packaging. The product has a 3-year expiration from the date of manufacture. I received my package about two months after it was produced, so it still has over 2.5 years of shelf life remaining. Inside the package, there were two soap bars wrapped in paper and a shower hanger for drying the soap. I didn’t need the hanger, so I discarded it. The soap bars are broad but thin. The dry bar has an oily texture, and some oil remains on my fingers after touching it. It lathers well, cleans effectively, and has a tea tree oil scent. After use, it doesn’t leave my skin feeling dry. However the bar of soap does tend to fall apart as it gets smaller. The awkward size (broad but thin) contributes to this problem.Overall, despite the awkward shape, it's a decent product.

Great for rosacea

Use on my face and it’s the only soap that doesn’t make my face red after a shower. Has evened out my color and I have rosacea.

No residue

I’ve been using this Charcoal soap for 8 years. I had to find a soap that didn’t have all the chemicals in it because I was switching to all natural deodorant. Chemicals react with my body and cause BO! Ick! Since switching to this soap I don’t feel like I have residue on my skin. I LOVE this soap!

collagen, cellulite, thick skin + extreme fatigue mystery solved thanks to this product

i found this soap to be an excellent aid in non surgical collagen deduction. if you are in an extreme situation (like me), use 1 bar (7 ou) in 1 bath every 30-90 minutes at least 3 times in a 4-5 hour period (if in an extreme situation like me) if you find yourself with a few inches of collagen enhanced "skin" and an oddly dry but not discomforting feeling (like i did)... use sensitive skin friendly epsom salt bath and then wait 30-90 min and sensitive skin friendly plain bath oil bath followed by an application of urea lotion combined with a fragrance free sensitive skin.... you will be 100% ready to take on the next level of removal without needing a chemical peel or exfoliation or HUNGER PAINS. it is a little exhausting but once you do this whole process a couple of times with the oil bath & urea between a loosening up of "skin" salt bath... IT WILL GO DOWN.dont give up! youre frame will emerge again very slowly

Leaves skin feeling great

I bought this soap after my dermatologist told me i have eczema. When my skin becomes itchy or inflamed, I find this soap gives my skin a cool, soothing feeling after taking a shower with it. My dermatologist still recommended using a good lotion as soon as I dried off from my shower.

Nice soap. Pleasant scent. Lathers and rinses well. Non-drying.

Great soap for high elevation living

I have tried many, many soaps -- even went through a period where I made my own -- and nothing compares to this soap. I live in high elevation (dry!) and need gentle exfoliation AND moisture. This product delivers on both. The first few uses are on the scratchier side, but it calms down by day 3 or so.

Comparable to the Nubian heritage soap. It's not overly scented and great for sensitive skin

What is NOT mentioned...

I love the soap, no doubt. I love the way it makes my skin feel. BUT, there's also something I DON'T like. The ad never mentions that the soap contains an exfoliant. This is annoying. It feels like I'm bathing with a bar that has been rolled around in fine sand. I would not have purchased if I had known. I will NOT purchase again, as these fine grains get into my eyes, ears, and beard. Not to mention how it feels on private parts. If you use it for just the hands, great. If you bathe with it, not great at all.

Lathers & cleans well, and is not oily on the skin.

I decided to try this soap because my prior one changed the recipe so much over the years; it no longer cleans well!So far I am enjoying this soap :) I was a little skeptical, because I mostly have oily skin (hence, pimples can surface) & I've had no breakouts! ‘Beautiful lather… I love the rectangular shape; it's easy to reach for -when I am reaching/grabbing it behind my back. I like the small hole in the soap's center. It helps me hold the bar while it is still a large size. I would recommend this soap for people who enjoy using solid soaps. :)

One soap to do it all

I haven't used shampoo for a few years now. I use this soap in the shower to wash my hair and body. It's great for psoriasis. Not a cure but helps. It's a great soap to take traveling.

Good soap, good scent

I like the scent of this soap. It suds up well and does a great job of cleaning. The smell is not overpowering. I only have one very minor complaint which is the size of the bar. It is relatively thin but quite long and wide. The large size makes it a little bit difficult to hold on to while cleaning. But other than that, I really like this soap and would order again anyway.

Amazing Soap Bar, Perfect for Gifting and Sensitive Skin, But Not Fully Organic

I bought this soap bar for myself and as a gift for my friend, and it’s amazing! It has a very light, pleasant coconut scent (not overpowering or strong), which I love. It comes with a well-made, silk-like net sack (foaming sponge bath), double-layered with sturdy stitches that do not irritate the skin. The product listing claims it’s handmade and organic, however , the ingredients are not fully organic as claimed. This isn’t a big issue for me, but because of that, I will give 4 stars. Overall, the soap is very gentle and soft when applied to the skin, doesn’t dry it, doesn't cause irritation, and works well for sensitive skin. I love this product, recommend it, and will definitely buy more!

Great soap!

Luscious lather, not perfumed and does not strip your skin dry.

Love it

It’s perfect for someone who works outdoors and sweats a lot. Not only does it make your skin feel smooth, but it takes away all body odor. I use it regularly.

LOVE IT!!

I purchased the charcoal, peppermint and tea tree bar. Really impressed! I don’t have horrific acne on my face but a handful of small pimples that usually clear up quickly. My back breaks out badly. Much more difficult to treat than my face. CeraVe made me break out for MONTHS. Have been using a clay/waterless cleanser that is awesome but VERY expensive. This $10 bar does just as good of a job as the $60 cleanser I have been using for a year. Im always more afraid a product will make my issues worse than not work at all. Works great on my face and my back! Will be ordering more!

Better Than Body Wash for Everyone

I honestly bought this just for my face and knock. Which it really does help with cleansing and not making my face feel tight or dry.But, me being me made my husband try it who doesn’t like bar soap. And he loves it everywhere but his face lol. He loves that he feels clean (unlike body wash) when he gets out of the shower and your skin dries with a towel quickly. And it really does clean and remove odor not just remove some and cover the rest like body wash.I used it on my body yesterday and felt amazingly clean and even still feel pretty clean almost 24 hours later despite Georgia humidity.It’s out new go too! I highly recommend this.

I love the soap. It lathers well and one bar lasted me a couple months. The little soap bag it came with is very helpful for when the bar gets too small.

Just a weird shape

Not really too crazy about this soap. First of all, it's a very large bar difficult when you're trying to wash your hands with a big bar of soap basically has no scent lathers nicely these my hands feeling soft this is an update. I decided I do not like this soap at all the strange shape makes it difficult to make lather in your hands

I use this soap everyday and find it keeps my skin healthy and clean

This soap is all I need because it contains moisturizer and it’s healing

Questions, answered

How do you use activated charcoal bar soap?

Wet the bar with warm water and work up a thick lather, then wash and rinse. Keep the bar dry between uses so it lasts longer. If soap gets in your eyes, rinse right away with clean water, and stop using it if irritation occurs. The Ashara bar is made with peppermint and tea tree essential oils and activated charcoal.

Is tea tree oil safe for sensitive skin?

Tea tree oil can irritate some people. The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health says some users develop redness or irritation, and that this is more likely if the product is old or has been exposed to heat, light or air. Store tea tree products closed and away from sunlight, and patch test before using them on your face.

Can you use tea tree oil during pregnancy?

Tea tree oil products used on the skin may be safe during pregnancy and while breastfeeding, according to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health. Tea tree oil should never be swallowed. If you are pregnant, check with your health care provider about any new skin care products.

What does peppermint do in soap and scrubs?

Peppermint oil gives soap and scrubs a cool, tingling feel and a fresh scent. Peppermint oil appears to be safe when applied topically in the doses commonly used, according to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH), though it can cause skin rash and irritation in some people. Keep it away from the eyes and rinse well.

Is peppermint oil safe for children?

Peppermint oil should not be applied to the face of infants or young children, according to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, because serious side effects may occur if they inhale the menthol in the oil. Keep peppermint soaps and scrubs away from small children's faces and store them out of reach.

Can germs spread from a shared bar of soap?

Research suggests the risk from washing with a used bar of soap is low. In a 1988 study in Epidemiology and Infection, 16 people washed their hands with soap bars deliberately loaded with bacteria, and none had detectable levels of the test bacteria on their hands afterward. The authors concluded that routine handwashing with a previously used bar poses little hazard.

What is in an activated charcoal and peppermint bar soap?

This bar contains saponified oils (organic palm, organic coconut, organic sunflower and organic extra virgin olive oil), peppermint essential oil, tea tree essential oil and activated charcoal. The label marks the palm oil as Fair Trade sustainable and the coconut oil as Fair Trade. Each Ashara bar weighs 4 oz (113 g), and the label lists no other ingredients.
