Hero Ingredients

How to Use

1. Wet face or body with warm water.
2. Lather the bar between wet hands or work it directly onto damp skin.
3. Massage gently in circular motions for 30–60 seconds.
4. Rinse thoroughly with water.
5. Follow with toner, serum, and moisturiser as usual.
6. Use once or twice daily.

When to Use

Use once or twice daily — morning and/or evening — as the first step of your skincare routine. If using once daily, evening use is recommended to cleanse the day's impurities. For best brightening results, use consistently over 6–8 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the Turmeric stain my skin yellow?
In a properly formulated soap, the Turmeric is present at a concentration that imparts colour to the bar itself but rinses away cleanly without leaving a yellow tint on skin. However, it may temporarily stain light towels or washcloths — use a dark cloth when first trying this soap.

Is Kojic Acid safe for daily use?
Kojic Acid is a commonly used cosmetic brightening ingredient considered safe for daily use at concentrations used in leave-off and rinse-off products. Because this is a rinse-off cleanser, contact time is short, making it suitable for most skin types. Those with sensitive skin should patch-test first and start with once-daily use.

Can I use this soap on my body as well as my face?
Yes — this bar is formulated for both facial and body use. It is especially popular for areas on the body where an uneven skin tone appearance is a concern. Patch-test on a small area first.

How should I store this soap to make it last longer?
Keep the bar on a well-draining soap dish between uses and allow it to dry out completely. Avoid leaving it in standing water. Proper storage can extend the life of the bar significantly.

Is this soap suitable for use during pregnancy?
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your healthcare provider before introducing new skincare products that contain active brightening ingredients such as Kojic Acid.
