Refined and Organic Shea Butter Facial Cleanser

Revised Content:

Dr. Woods, a brand deeply rooted in family, community, and ethical principles, was initially conceived by Van Woods, the son of Sylvia Woods, the founder of the renowned Sylvia's Restaurant in New York City, and his long-time friend and business partner, Gary Greenhouse.

At the core of Dr. Woods lies a commitment to creating products that are truly "All Things Good." This promise extends to sharing only those products with your family that we believe are good for our own family as well. We strive to source the best natural ingredients for our products, prioritizing fair-trade and sustainably-produced items whenever possible.

Our ingredients and products adhere to stringent standards, as they are never tested on animals and are certified cruelty-free. Our vegan soaps are free from petroleum, detergents, sulfates, parabens, and phthalates. Dr. Woods proudly supports various family and education-focused organizations dedicated to giving back to their communities and empowering young people in need.

The brand's journey began with the introduction of its Black Soap, a vision to produce high-quality skin care products sourced worldwide but manufactured right here in the United States. Black Soap is a unique, all-vegetable soap whose key ingredient is derived from plantain skins, a highly renewable natural resource.

Another integral part of Dr. Woods' product lineup is Shea Butter, harvested from the nut of the Karite tree, indigenous to West Africa. Our organic, fair-trade Shea Butter comes specifically from the African Savannah.

Dr. Woods offers a diverse range of products, including Liquid Black Soap, Liquid Castile Soaps, Liquid Castile Soaps with Shea, Bar Soaps, Face Cleansers & Pumps, and Travel-Size options. These products are specifically formulated to cater to various skin types and concerns.

Our Liquid Black Soap, in particular, is especially well-suited for oily, combination, and blemish-prone skin. This non-comedogenic, yet rich in Shea Butter, non-detergent cleanser is an excellent choice for all skin ages. The powerful antioxidants and botanical extracts in our formulations help protect skin from free radical damage, while the naturally therapeutic attributes work to soothe irritation and soften dry skin.

Importantly, all Dr. Woods products are never tested on animals, are Cruelty-Free, Gluten-Free, 100% Vegan, and free from phthalates, parabens, sulfates, and petroleum. They also provide a highly effective exfoliating action that is safe for daily use on all skin types, from teenagers to adults.
