Dr. Woods springs from a story of family ties and lasting relationships, founded by Van Woods of the renowned Sylvia’s Restaurant in NYC, and his partner, Gary Greenhouse. It's a brand built on family, community, and integrity, starting with our pioneering Black Soap. At Dr. Woods, we’re committed to crafting high-quality, natural skincare products, made in the USA but sourced globally. Our aim is simple: to provide affordable, premium products that our family uses and recommends with pride. We stand for ""All Things Good,"" creating safe, natural, and cruelty-free products that are kind to both people and the planet. Our expanding product line reflects our growth, embodying our promise to deliver effective, natural care at prices your family can afford. Join the Dr. Woods family, where every product is a blend of nature, love, and the commitment to a healthier, happier world. With one of the highest concentrations of pure black soap available on the market, this cleanser is a highly effective, yet extremely gentle exfoliant that is safe enough to use every day, no matter how sensitive your skin may be. Rich in iron and Vitamins E and A from the plantain skins (the key ingredient in black soap), this formula is great for any age skin. We’ve added gamma tocopheral (a concentrated form of Vitamin E) as a powerful anti-oxidant and botanical extracts for good skin health. Organic, fair-trade shea butter protects and conditions your skin while softening the appearance of fine lines.
