“Nice exfoliation without being harsh. Calming scent and great texture overall.”

“The Aloe Veil Bar smells absolutely amazing. I honestly couldn’t stop sniffing it the first time I got it. It leaves my skin feeling incredibly soft and clean without that stripped, tight feeling some soaps can cause. I usually step out of the shower dealing with dryness and itchiness, but that hasn’t been an issue at all since using this bar. My skin feels comfortable, refreshed, and nourished”

“I like this bar a lot. It felt really good and the lather was nice. It has a clean smell but it’s not really scented. I thought it would smell different. Great lather tho.”

“I will admit, I was a little hesitant adding the body oil to my routine. I am not usually a fan of body oils, but I’ve enjoyed the soaps so much, I thought I would give it a try. I was surprised and delighted by the feeling of this body oil. My skin doesn’t feel sticky or greasy after I apply it, and the oil gets absorbed quickly. It left my skin feeling softer than I’ve ever felt it. If I was going on a date this is what I would be reaching for prior. The best part, is a little goes a long way.”

“I would highly recommend black altar and the products. The aloe veil may be my top favorite only because it can be used daily! I’ve noticed a huge difference in my skin since using, I use to get out the and feel the dryness and immediately reach for a moisturizer verses this soap makes you feel clean & moisturized without the stripping of skin!”

Why three bars instead of one?
Same bar every day is how you end up tight one morning and oily the next. Skin doesn't stay one thing. A rotation gives you three bars with three roles. You pick the one that fits the day. The shower tells you which is which pretty fast.
My skin feels tight after bar soap. Will this do the same?
Probably not. That tight feeling is soap stripping your skin while it cleans. Most big brands pull out the part that keeps you moisturized, bottle it, and sell it back to you as lotion. We leave it in. That's the whole difference.
I have sensitive skin. Is this okay for me?
Depends on the bar. Our unscented bars (Aloe Veil, Silky Shea, Earth Salt) are built for reactive skin. If fragrance triggers you, stay there. If you want to try something scented, use it twice a week, not daily.
How is it made?
By hand in small batches, by a soapmaker with twenty years in. Hot lye and warm oils, poured in a slab and left with a rough top. The part of the bar that keeps your skin from feeling stripped stays in instead of getting yanked out and sold separately.
Are your ingredients organic?
About 80% are. The ones that aren't, like Himalayan salt and activated charcoal, aren't classified as organic because they come from the earth rather than being grown. Not everything good grows in a field.
Is it actually all-natural?
Yes. Every ingredient is listed because we're proud of them. No fillers, no secrets, nothing in there that doesn't earn its place.
Do you test on animals?
No. PETA certified. Just a line we don't cross.
What's the deal with sustainable palm?
Palm oil has a bad reputation because a lot of it comes from deforestation. Ours doesn't. It's Rainforest Alliance certified, from South American farms that don't clear forest for the crop. Real standard, not a logo for optics.
How does shipping work?
$5 flat rate, and free on orders of $42 and up. Our shipping is discounted. Most of our boxes cost us $9 to $12 to send. We cover the difference so you do not get hit with a surprise at checkout.
