Raw Moisturizing Black Unscented Soap with Organic Shea Butter, 8 Ounce

Dr. Woods, a brand founded by Van Woods, son of Sylvia Woods (the renowned founder of Sylvia's Restaurant in New York City), and his long-time friend and business partner, Gary Greenhouse, is rooted in a lifetime commitment to family, community, and doing what's right. The brand's mission is to create products that are "All Things Good" - a promise to share only those products with your family that are good for your own family too.

Dr. Woods strives to offer the best natural ingredients for their products, sourcing free-trade and sustainably-produced items whenever possible. Their ingredients and products are never tested on animals and are certified cruelty-free. The vegan soaps are free from petroleum, detergents, sulfates, parabens, and phthalates.

The brand supports a number of family and education-focused organizations dedicated to giving back to their communities and helping young people in need. While they often support smaller organizations, they provide continued support to several larger ones as well.

Dr. Woods' journey began with their Black Soap, a high-quality skin care product sourced worldwide but made right here in the United States. Raw black soap is a unique all-vegetable soap, with its key ingredient derived from plantain skins, a highly renewable natural resource.

Another key ingredient in Dr. Woods' products is shea butter, harvested from the nut of the Karite tree, which is indigenous to West Africa. The brand's organic, fair-trade shea butter is specifically sourced from the African Savannah.

Dr. Woods offers a wide range of products, including Liquid Black Soap, Liquid Castile Soaps, Liquid Castile Soaps with Shea, Bar Soaps, Face Cleansers & Pumps, and Travel Size options. Each product is designed to be gentle, nourishing, and suitable for all skin types, from dry to oily, problem skin to clear, and young to aging complexions.

The brand's commitment to sustainability is evident in their Compact by Design initiative, which identifies products that, while not always visually different, have a more efficient design. By removing excess air and water, the products require less packaging and become more efficient to ship, leading to significant carbon emission reductions.

In summary, Dr. Woods is a brand dedicated to creating high-quality, natural, and sustainable skin care products that are good for both the customer and the environment. With a focus on family, community, and ethical practices, the brand strives to provide its customers with products that truly are "All Things Good."
