Reviews across all bars
Wonderful
Moisturising, good exfoliation and still gentle. Love it
Soap slaps
Love how soft on the skin it is for a bar of soap
I love this bar
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
Felt amazing, lovely product
Great sensory product, love how soft my skin feels. Love that your company gives back as well.
Pure luxury
I’m genuinely obsessed with these soaps! The charcoal is hands down my favorite. I have sensitive skin, so I’m usually very careful about what I use, but this leaves my skin feeling clean, soft and refreshed without feeling dry or irritated. And the smell is AMAZING, it stays on your skin without being overpowering. I would definitely recommend this, especially to anyone with sensitive skin. Worth every dollar and I’ll absolutely be ordering more!
Complete!
Thats how I felt afterwards. I've only used the lavender and sage but the experience was wonderful. The texture and the smell are amazing, great soap!
Very Refreshing
The lather is really satisfying, and the scent is lovely even if it's subtle. I really enjoy it, and it's made showering a very pleasant routine!
excited for this
I just ordered my soap. I tried a sample back when they first launched. Get ready to feel good.
Household fave!
I purchased this soap for my son, who has dry skin. It keeps him moisturized during his active day which is amazing. And I must say, it extremely lathering and smells amazing.
Gorgeous soap
Absolutely love the Wild Awakening bar by Black Altar. It smells divine, lathers like a dream, and is simply fantastic.
Do yourself a favor and get this soap!
Luxurious gift to self
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.
Amazing aroma
I purchased this and the aroma coming from it is just amazing. It’s smooth and keeps your skin feeling fresh. Did I mention it smells great?! I would definitely order again!
Amazing!
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!
Felt great, clean scent
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.
Obsessed
If I could find Witch Bloom as a perfume I would never reach for anything else. These soaps smell so good and THEY USE ETHICALLY SOURCED PALM OIL!!!! Literally, it's my favorite thing a body brand can do. I'm a bar soap girlie now <33

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.
What is cold-process and why does it matter?
It's the slow way of making soap. Low temperature, no shortcuts. The part of the bar that keeps your skin from feeling stripped stays in instead of getting yanked out and sold separately. Most factories skip cold-process because waiting is expensive. We didn't.
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 single bar, $6 two bars, $7 three or more, free over $59. 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.
For every ten bars sold, one is donated.
