Activated charcoal, black lava salt, and mineral-rich sea salts shift this soap into a more adsorptive cleansing profile, helping pull excess oil and compacted buildup away from the skin surface. Unlike aggressive acne cleansers that leave the skin depleted, the surrounding lipid matrix maintains skin flexibility during washing, making it particularly relevant for skin prone to congestion, breakouts, or inflammatory flare-ups.

This soap is formulated specifically to support the needs of oily or combination skin types, suffering from blemishes, back, chest or shoulders acne, dermatitis, psoriasis or eczema. The unique blend of ingredients helps to maintain clear skin.

Suitable, gentle and safe for all four skin types, normal, oily, dry and combination, Black Lava is recommended for oily or combination skins.

Activated Charcoal and Black Lava Salt
A potent duo that deeply purifies skin by absorbing excess oil, dirt, and toxins that could lead to acne and irritation. Black Lava Bar Soap, goes beyond cleansing to replenish essential minerals lost throughout the day, promoting skin's overall health and resilience against environmental stressors.

Mediterranean Sea Salt
Complements the purifying action by further replenishing skin with vital minerals, maintaining skin's natural balance, and helping to keep breakouts at bay. Its unique mineral composition supports hydration levels, minimizing skin irritation and dryness.

Botanical Oils and Butters
A rich blend of Coconut Oil, Rapeseed Oil, Mango Butter, Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, Castor Oil, and Soybean Oil create a naturally creamy soft foam that moisturizes, and soothes the skin.

Essential Oil Harmony
The calming and balancing benefits are amplified by an exquisite blend of essential oils. These oils not only provide a soothing and elegant aroma but also offer therapeutic properties that relax, calm the senses, and balance the skin, as well as provide anti-bacterial properties.

Black clay soap that lathers into a white soft, creamy, rich and nourishing lather.

Citrus-floral scent intensifies during use, providing a calming aromatherapy experience, leaving skin gently scented.

Pimples out

If you want your pimples to go away without irritation this is the soap for you!! I used to buy (company name removed) soaps, but none of them are suitable for my skin. I know their soaps contain synthetic fragrances, even though they claim they don't because my skin reacts badly when I use products that contain fragrances instead of essential oils. I switched to Valenti's black soap, and my skin it's happier than its ever been! The soap smells amazing! The foam is creamy and soft, and the soap lasts in my shower a good 2-3 weeks. It's also much more affordable and they offer free shipping on all orders over $75 always. Go shop!

10 years ago

I bought my first black lava soap from by valenti over 10 years ago at a wellness show in Chicago, and I haven't showered with any other soap ever since. I love this soap and so does my skin!

I'm back every time

No matter which soaps I buy, I always end up coming back to this one. I've tried so many soaps and brands, from the most expensive all the way to the cheap grocery store ones, (company name removed), (company name removed), (company name removed), (company name removed), (company name removed), (company name removed), (company name removed), you name it I've probably showered with it. I always end up coming back to this one. I don't know what they put in it, but they got me hooked. This soaps takes care of my face and shoulder acne like no other. If you reading this have acne, then look no further, this is the soap you want to shower with. 👍🏽👍🏽

Not hopeful

I bought your soap with not much hope it would work, just like I bought thousands of products from various brands and street fairs over the years. The moment I opened the box, I thought to myself here we go again, another disappointing shower ahead. But there was something different about this soap the thousands of others didn't have. I walked out of the shower immediately feeling the difference, I wasn't itching all over. For the first time in a while I just didn't need to apply that darn medicated lotion! I broke down in tears. It's been months of showering daily with your beautiful black soap, and months that I haven't itched, months without needing to bathe in lotion afterwards, months without scratches on my body. My dermatologist wasn't convinced, and I gave her a bar of your beautiful soap. I know she's now your client and recommending your black soap to many of her patients. You gave me my skin back. Thank you.

Sensitive skin

I have a very sensitive nose and skin and I have no issues with this soap at all! I love the way this soap smells and how it feels on my skin. It leaves me feeling clean and moisturized with every shower.

Most ethical

By Valenti is simply THE BEST and MOST ETHICAL brand out there! No question! I've used all their soaps for years on my face and body and love all of them. Highly recommended!

The best kept secret

A few weeks

I’ve been using this black soap to wash my face for a few weeks now and I gotta say I’m really impressed at how it’s cleared my acne. Pimples don’t get to fully form anymore and my skin isn’t dry or peeling at all like with other products. The few pimples I get don’t even get to ripe. They are gone in a day. If you have mild to moderate acne look no more. I definitely recommend this soap.

This soap will rid acne off your face!

This soap will rid acne off your face, arm, chest and back without irritation. Best soap I have used in a while. So worth the money.

I wasn't expecting it

I have to admit, I wasn't expecting to love this particular scent as much as I did. I'm not a fan of lavender or tee tree by themselves but thought I would give it a go anyway. It smells amazing! It also lathers better than any other natural soap I've tried which makes it last longer than its competitors. Amazingly, it doesn't dry out my skin either. Overall a great buy and worth the little extra you pay.

Sooooooo good!!!!

This soap is soooooo good!!!!!!!!! It doesn't dry my skin, it creates a creamy lather and it smells really good!!!!!!!!!! definitely one of my favorite bvo soaps!!!!! twice a week I use the lava body scrub after a shower with this soap, and no more pimples in my back and arms!!!!!!!!! I'm in love with this brand and I've recommended these products to all my friends and family!!!!!!!!! I wanna see these products on every store in the US!!!!!!!!!

love-love-LOVE

love-love-LOVE this soap! it's creamy, it cleans, it doesn't dry my skin, i can use it on my face to remove makeup and it lasts for ever! it's been in my shower for over 3 weeks! definitely a great product!!

Best soap I have ever used

This is one of the best soaps I've ever used!
It's super gentle on my skin, the scent is pleasant and it's long lasting.
I've recommended this product to all my family and friends.
