The rose and vanilla smells so good ;makes me have better nights since I like to smell nice to bed.
It leaves my skin moisturized, glowing and evens out skin tone. It also has this healing property that helps keep the bikini area smooth and free of bumps after shaving. I use the rose and vanilla one and highly recommend .
It gives my skin a little shine and clears my acne.
I’d personally prefer the scent a bit milder and the butter easier to rub into my skin.
I loveeeee Ivory butter. It is smooth and silky. I use the rose and vanilla flavor and it smells really Nice. My skin is so soft and smooth since i started using it.
What makes Glow Oil different from other body oils?
Most body oils require a trade-off. Some absorb quickly but don’t provide lasting moisture, while others feel rich but remain heavy on the skin. Glow Oil was designed to sit between both, delivering long-lasting moisture without heaviness or grease.
Is Glow Oil suitable for dry or ashy skin?
Yes. Glow Oil performs especially well on dry, ash-prone and stressed skin because shea oil helps support the skin barrier while improving softness and moisture retention over time.
Why apply Glow Oil onto damp skin?
Applying Glow Oil onto damp skin helps seal moisture into the body more effectively after showering. Damp skin also allows the oil to spread more evenly across the body and absorb more comfortably.
Does Glow Oil feel greasy?
No. Shea oil naturally combines richness with excellent spreadability, allowing Glow Oil to absorb quickly while continuing to leave skin soft and moisturised long after application.
Can I use Glow Oil with Ivory Butter?
Yes. Glow Oil and Ivory Butter play different roles within the routine. Glow Oil helps seal moisture into the skin after showering, while Ivory Butter provides richer moisture and longer-lasting protection against dryness
Can I use Glow Oil on my hair?
Yes. Glow Oil can be worked through the lengths and ends of the hair to help maintain softness and reduce dryness without weighing it down.
Can Glow Oil help improve uneven skin tone?
With consistent use, Glow Oil helps support softer, smoother and more even-looking skin. By strengthening the skin barrier and maintaining moisture levels, it helps skin appear healthier and more balanced over time.
Is Glow Oil suitable for eczema-prone or inflamed skin?
Glow Oil is especially well suited to skin prone to dryness, barrier disruption and moisture loss because shea oil naturally contains compounds known for their soothing and barrier-supporting properties.
Can Glow Oil replace my body lotion?
For many people, yes. Glow Oil was designed to provide long-lasting moisture while remaining lightweight and fast-absorbing. Those with particularly dry skin may choose to layer Ivory Butter over areas that need richer moisture, such as the legs, elbows, knees, feet or hands.
How often should I use Glow Oil?
Glow Oil can be used daily and performs best when applied onto damp skin immediately after showering. Consistent use helps support softer, smoother and more elastic skin over time.
Will Glow Oil clog pores?
Glow Oil is made from 100% shea oil and was designed to absorb comfortably into the skin without feeling heavy or excessively greasy. While individual skin responses vary, most people find it suitable for daily use across the body and hair.
What skin types is Glow Oil best for?
Glow Oil is suitable for all skin types but performs especially well on dry, ash-prone and climate-stressed skin. Its naturally rich blend of fatty acids and bioactive compounds helps support the skin barrier, maintain moisture and improve softness over time.
Is Glow Oil suitable during pregnancy?
Yes. Glow Oil contains a single ingredient, 100% shea oil, and is suitable for use during pregnancy. Consistent use helps maintain skin softness, moisture and elasticity as the skin stretches and changes over time.
Can Glow Oil be used on babies and children?
Yes. The Unscented version can be used on babies and children to help maintain skin softness and moisture. As with any skincare product, we recommend patch testing before first use.
Is Glow Oil suitable for postpartum skin?
Yes. Glow Oil is particularly well suited to postpartum skin, which can often feel drier, tighter and less elastic. Its naturally rich blend of fatty acids helps support the skin barrier while maintaining softness and moisture over time.
What makes Onyx Light different from Onyx Polish?
Both are African black soap cleansers, but they are designed for different cleansing needs.
Onyx Light is the daily maintenance cleanse. It removes sweat, excess oil and everyday buildup while leaving skin feeling comfortable enough for repeated use.
Onyx Polish is the deeper clarifying cleanse. It is designed for moments when you want a more intensive cleanse to address heavier buildup, excess oil, congestion or the skin after intense sweating.
Onyx Light can still be used after exercise or whenever you’ve worked up a sweat. The difference is not how often you use them, but what you want from your cleanse. Onyx Light is designed around everyday maintenance, while Onyx Polish offers a deeper level of clarification. Either can have a place in your regular routine depending on your skin and how you like to cleanse.
Who is Onyx Light best for?
Onyx Light is for anyone looking for a thorough liquid African black soap body wash they can comfortably use as part of their everyday routine.
It is particularly suited to people who find traditional black soap cleansers too intense for repeated use.
Can I use Onyx Light every day?
Yes. Onyx Light is designed as a daily cleanser and can be used as part of your regular shower routine.
Does Onyx Light dry out the skin?
Onyx Light is formulated to cleanse effectively without leaving skin feeling stripped.
As with any cleanser, how your skin feels can depend on your individual skin and how you use it. Follow with Glow Oil and Ivory Butter afterwards, when your skin needs additional moisture.
Can I use Onyx Light on my face?
African black soap can feel more stripping on facial skin than some people prefer. While we recommend Onyx Light for the body, some people find Onyx Light suitable for their face as well. As always, we recommend doing a patch test before using any product on your body or face.
Is Onyx Light suitable for oily skin?
Yes. It helps remove excess oil, sweat and daily buildup while leaving skin feeling balanced and comfortable, making it well suited to oily and combination skin.
What should I use after Onyx Light?
Follow with Glow Oil on damp skin to help seal in moisture. For areas that need richer nourishment and comfort, layer Ivory Butter afterwards.
How is Onyx Light different from traditional African black soap?
Onyx Light retains the thorough cleansing properties of African black soap, but is formulated to feel less drying and stripping on skin. Cocoa pod ash provides the cleansing backbone, while shea butter, palm oil, luffa seed oil, rose distillate and honey help create a more balanced, comfortable cleansing experience.
This makes Onyx Light suitable for everyday use and sensitive skin types, particularly for people who may find traditional black soap too drying or intense. The idea isn’t to make black soap less effective. It’s to make that thorough cleansing experience more comfortable to return to, day after day.
