A turmeric soap bar made for melanin-rich skin.

One bar, used the way you already use soap. No routine to learn, no ten step ritual, no shelf full of bottles you stop reaching for after three weeks.

It cleanses without stripping, and that distinction matters. Skin that has been stripped answers back: more oil, more breakouts, more marks left behind.

For deeper skin tones, where the real problem is rarely the breakout itself. It is what the breakout leaves behind.

Melanin-rich skin responds to inflammation by producing pigment. A spot, an ingrown hair, a razor bump or a scratch can heal in days and still leave a dark mark that stays for months.

If that is your skin, this bar was made with you in mind.

• Wet the bar and work it into a lather in your hands
• Massage over damp skin for about thirty seconds
• Rinse well, then moisturise while your skin is still damp

Start once a day. If your skin takes it well after a week, move to morning and evening.

Turmeric is a strong pigment, so the honest answer is: it can, if you let it sit.

Rinse until the water runs clear and you will not see a tint on your skin. Pat dry with a darker towel for the first few washes, keep the bar on a draining dish, and it will not be an issue.

What you should not do is leave the lather on your skin as a mask. This is a cleanser, not a treatment.

We are not going to promise you that.

This is a cleanser. It keeps skin clean and comfortable, which is the groundwork. But no soap, ours included, is a treatment for hyperpigmentation, and anyone telling you otherwise is selling you something.

If your marks are deep or long-standing, see a dermatologist. What we can do is give you a daily bar that does not make things worse.

Patch test first. Lather a small amount on the inside of your forearm, rinse, and leave it twenty-four hours.

If you have eczema, psoriasis or any diagnosed skin condition, or if you are using a prescription treatment, speak to your doctor before adding anything new.

Stop if your skin stings, tightens or reddens. That is not the product working. That is your skin saying no.

Yes. Face, body, back, the places your hands do not usually reach.

Keep it away from your eyes, and skip it on broken or freshly shaved skin.

That depends almost entirely on how you store it.

A bar left sitting in a puddle at the edge of the bath dissolves in a fraction of the time. On a draining dish, out of the direct stream of the shower, it lasts far longer.

One habit is worth the rest: stand it on its edge so the water runs off.

The full ingredient list is printed on the pack and set out line by line on the product page.

We would rather show you every ingredient than hide behind the words natural extracts. If something in there does not agree with your skin, you deserve to know it is in there before you buy, not after.

It is a rinse-off cleanser rather than a leave-on treatment, which puts it in the gentlest category there is.

That said, we are not your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, check with a health professional before changing anything you put on your skin.
