Raw Black Coconut Papaya Soap with Organic Shea Butter, 8 oz

Dr. Woods is a brand rooted in a lifetime commitment to family, community, and doing what’s right, first conceived by Van Woods, son of Sylvia Woods, founder of the famed Sylvia’s Restaurant in New York City, and long-time friend and business partner, Gary Greenhouse. In short, we are committed to creating products that truly are “All Things Good,” and promise to share only those products with your family that we know are good for our family, too.

We strive to offer only the best natural ingredients for our products, and work hard to use free-trade and sustainably-produced items whenever and wherever we can. Our ingredients and products are never tested on animals and are certified cruelty-free. Our vegan soaps are petroleum-free, detergent-free, and free from sulfates, parabens, and phthalates.

Dr. Woods supports a number of family and education-focused organizations that are dedicated to giving back to their communities and young people in need. While we often support many smaller organizations, we offer continued support to several organizations.

Starting with our Black Soap, Dr. Woods’ vision was to produce high quality skin care products sourced worldwide but made right here in the United States.

Raw black soap is a unique all-vegetable soap product whose key ingredient is derived from plantain skins, a highly renewable natural resource. Harvested from the nut of the Karite tree, shea butter is indigenous to West Africa (our organic fair-trade shea butter comes specifically from the African Savannah).

Dr. Woods offers a variety of products including Liquid Black Soap, Liquid Castile Soaps, Liquid Castile Soaps with Shea, Bar Soaps, Face Cleansers & Pumps, and Travel Size options.

Our Coconut Papaya soap is great for all skin types, and its aromatic fragrance sends your senses to a tropical paradise while leaving your skin smooth, hydrated, and healthy. The soap is thick, working great with a loofah or washcloth to ensure it won’t run out of your hands before you use it. Black Soap is an abundant source of skin-nourishing nutrients and cruelty-free fair-trade shea butter is a great source of the fatty acids needed for healthy collagen production.
