BLKsense is a black-owned skincare company based out of Arlington, Virginia. We provide all natural skincare products and accessories (I know right, sooo unique 🙄). What sets us apart from the other’s is our spotlight product, “Authentic” African Black Soap imported from West Africa. This soap has been a staple of countries like Nigeria and Ghana for hundreds of years, due to it’s healing and exfoliation properties. Our goal is to deliver this product to our customers in its traditional form using modern approach.
The Competition
Most black soaps you will find in stores and online are similar in nature but not authentic. Both soaps share a lot of the same ingredients, but the commercially available options use refined ingredients, artificial colors, preservatives, and alcohols to make it look more appealing to the average shopper. A lot of the natural healing properties are lost in this refinement process, making it less appealing to those in search of chemical free skincare products. Sometimes you’ll even see it referred to as “Fake African Black Soap.” And we’re not joking. Take the next 30 seconds to see for yourself. Go ahead, we’ll wait…
