The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
A blend of Palm Ash, Plantain Peel, Tar and Tamarind Extract combines with Shea Butter's soothing and hydrating properties and authentic African Black Soap to combat appearance of dry, dull skin. Our deep cleansing formula leaves skin feel balanced radiant, fresh and healthy-looking.
Humble Beginnings
Nubian Heritage is the brainchild of two New York street vendors. In 1992, fresh out of college without jobs, Rich and Nyema embarked on a mission to produce luxurious natural products from traditional African recipes with organic and fair trade ingredients. Today Nubian Heritage offers hundreds of culturally authentic natural products inspired by global ancient, healing philosophies. Although Nubian Heritage products are no longer made in bath tubs, little else has changed; the company still makes it own products, still uses fair trade and organic ingredients and still invests in community commerce.
Heritage
For centuries, African Black Soap, made with Palm Ash, Tamarind Extract and Plantain Peel has been used in Africa to cleanse and care for the skin. Historical references to Shea Butter, a staple of African pharmacology, date back to the reported Shea Butter caravans of Cleopatra's Egypt. Complementing the ingredients' detoxifying properties, our package patterns symbolizes purity and commemorates the strong community identity that textiles have in Africa with each community having their own unique designs.

I take other supplements for quite a while, which have never fully resolved my acne issues, although they have been greatly improved. Still have some residual acne and clogged pores, and after reading all the amazing reviews decided to order the black soap, and it did not disapoint: very supple skin with smaller pores and gradually much more even, and brighter with reduced impurities. AMAZING skin! CLEVER TIP: cut a very small slice (a little goes a loooong way) and make liquid soap with it (plenty of easy DIY recipes online), then put it in a soap dispenser and you will have the same amazing benefit in a much more practical format, it may not lather as much, but that is irrelevant for me!! Works for me. Have also cut a small slice of it and put it in one of those small complimentary hotel soap boxes, and carry it with me on trips without being heavy, bulky or triggering the liquid limitations of planes. Try it!

Makes my skin smoother and I'm sure it will clear up all of my acne over time. I have noticed less breakouts since i started using this. It is a gentle formula that does not irritate my very sensitive eye area but does slightly sting if you get it in tour eyes. Gives a squeaky clean feel so if you don't like that it's not for you, it is however not drying. I have very oily but dehydrated skin.
