Blue Green Algae: A nutrient-rich ingredient packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that help to nourish and protect the skin.

Witch Hazel Extract: A natural astringent that helps to balance the skin and reduce excess oil without over-drying.

This exfoliating bar soap is ideal for individuals with Normal to Oily skin types. It is a perfect choice for anyone looking to address rough texture, body breakouts, or dull skin, and for those who enjoy a deep, scrubbing clean.

Provides Deep Physical Exfoliation: Volcanic Sand and Jojoba Seeds gently buff away dead skin cells for a smoother surface.

Purifies and Detoxifies Skin: Activated Charcoal helps to draw out impurities and excess oil from the pores.

For best results, use every other day in the shower.

Step 1: Wet the soap bar with warm water.

Step 2: Gently massage the bar directly onto wet skin, using circular motions to exfoliate. Focus on areas that tend to be rough or congested.

Step 3: Set the bar down and use your hands to work up a lather.

Step 4: Rinse thoroughly with water.

This product contains fragrance and natural extracts. Avoid use on the face, sensitive areas, or open cuts.

The 2nd's Recommendation: For external use only.

This is a seriously effective exfoliating bar. It's fantastic for smoothing out rough spots like elbows and knees, and it's a great tool for helping to prevent breakouts on the back and chest, especially after a workout. Because it's so effective, you don't need to use it every single day; alternating it with a more hydrating bar is the perfect way to keep your skin balanced and smooth.

Fresh Ocean Splash: A cool and sophisticated scent with notes of Cedarwood, Lime, and Fresh Greens blended with crisp water notes.

Is this scrub bar too rough for my skin?
It provides a definite, satisfying scrub, but the exfoliants are fine enough to not be overly harsh when used with gentle pressure. It's recommended for use every other day to prevent over-exfoliation and ensure your skin stays comfortable.

How is this different from the Oars + Alps "Supermoisture" bar soap?
They have opposite primary functions. The Supermoisture bar is a deeply hydrating and conditioning soap, best for dry skin. This Blue Charcoal Oars Bar is an exfoliating and purifying soap, best for normal to oily skin or for anyone who wants to address rough texture and breakouts.


Can this bar help with body acne?
Yes, it's an excellent choice for that. The combination of physical exfoliation from the Volcanic Sand and the deep-cleaning, oil-absorbing properties of the Activated Charcoal is very effective at keeping the pores on your back and chest clear, which helps to prevent breakouts.
