FAQs

Is Black Clay Facial Soap good for perioral dermatitis?

Yes—this soap was specifically formulated with perioral dermatitis in mind. The gentle blend of black clay and dead sea mud helps calm inflammation and support skin barrier repair. Many customers with PD have seen improvements by simplifying their routine and using BCFS consistently.

Can I use Black Clay Facial Soap if I have sensitive or reactive skin?

Black Clay Facial Soap is well-tolerated by many people with sensitive or problem-prone skin, including those with perioral dermatitis, acne, and eczema. It contains a small amount of essential oils chosen for their gentle, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. If your skin is highly reactive, you can patch test on your neck or inner arm before use.

How often should I use Black Clay Facial Soap?

You can use BCFS once or twice daily, depending on your skin’s needs. For people with very dry or compromised skin, once a day (in the evening) may be enough. Follow with a nourishing moisturizer (we recommend our Purely Simple Face Cream) or facial oil to lock in hydration.

Reviews

It cured in one week what my dermatologist couldn’t in a year!

"I truly cannot believe this product. I’ve been struggling with perioral dermatitis for over a year. I’ve been to the dermatologist several times and tried their suggested creams. It just kept getting worse and worse. I completely quit wearing makeup and only used a gentle cleaner and nothing else on my face for months—to no avail. I really didn’t want to do antibiotics. I barely expected this soap to work, but thought I’d give it a try. In ONE WEEK it completely cleared up. I’m ABSOLUTELY astonished. And so grateful!"

Caused peri-oral dermatitis

"I've been searching for months to find replacement products in skincare as several common botanicals in wonderful products irritate, my skin. Came across this brand and it was claiming that it was going to fix and not cause peri-oral dermatitis. I ordered the black and pink clay soaps in trial size. And they immediately caused a breakout on my skin. NOT happy or impressed. This was a waste of money & time waiting for the products and now the time it will take to get rid of it. I have no interest in trying anything else from their line since their claims on the soaps were false."

— SS (1/5)

BEST face soap. Instantly calms my pregnancy perioral dermatitis. Life saver.

"Love this face soap. It's my tried and true. Sometimes I get "fancy" and try a new, very expensive, natural face soap and it always leaves me missing my black clay bars. I buy 5 or 6 at a time because I'm terrified to go without it. Haha! Cannot recommend enough."

— Olivia C. (5/5)

Daily User

"I use this everyday. I absolutely love it and in combination with the Purely Simple Face Cream it has completely healed my perioral dermatitis."

My favorite cleanser, by far!

"I have used this face soap for years and it is still my go-to and by far my favorite! I struggled with peri-oral dermatitis among other issues for years, but this tried and true cleanser has kept my skin happy with zero issues since. I won't even try other cleansers because I'm a die-hard fan of the black clay soap. Thanks for making such a great product!"

— Wendy H. (5/5)

Q&A

Is this bar also considered antibacterial, more specifically would it be ok to use it to clean something like a new tattoo? Love how this bar works with my skin, absolutely a go to cleanser
Hi Annika! All soap is anti-bacterial when used correctly—if you wash for 30 seconds—but there are no added antibiotic ingredients. It's super gentle, and should be great on a new tattoo. If you want something with no essential oils while it's super fresh, our Naked Body Soap could be a great solution!
