Will it lighten my natural skin tone?

No. There is no hydroquinone and no bleach in the bar. Turmeric helps fade the look of dark spots and uneven patches, but it never takes your skin lighter than its natural colour.

How fast will I see a difference?

Most people feel softer, brighter-looking skin from the first wash and see marks start to look lighter in 2 to 3 weeks. Older, deeper marks keep improving through day 60 and day 90. Use it every day.

Will the turmeric stain my skin or towels?

No. It rinses clean off your skin. If a little lather gets on a towel, it washes out in a normal wash.

And if it does nothing for me?

Then you get your money back. You have 30 days from delivery. Email hello@sawumi.com and we refund you. One email, no forms.

What it does

The Turmeric Fade & Glow Bar is a turmeric soap made for melanin-rich skin, where a breakout, a razor bump or an ingrown so often leaves a dark mark behind. Finely ground turmeric helps fade the look of those marks and brighten uneven areas, tea tree keeps bumps and breakouts in check so fewer new marks form, and shea butter, aloe and honey keep the skin soft so it never feels tight.

How to use
  • Use morning and night.
  • Face: lather, massage into marks for 60 to 90 seconds, rinse.
  • Body: use in the shower on underarms, inner thighs, bikini line, back, knees and elbows.
  • Follow with a light moisturiser. Take a before photo on day one.

The real reason

It was never about scrubbing harder. Dark marks start below the surface.

On melanin-rich skin, a breakout, a razor bump or an ingrown hair can leave a dark mark that stays for months after the spot itself has gone. It is not dirt, and it is not something you did wrong.

Most washes only clean the top layer, then rinse away before they do anything else. Most "brightening" products lean on harsh actives or bleach, which can sting, dry you out and leave patches lighter than the rest of you.

So the marks pile up. A new one forms before the old one has faded.

Turmeric helps fade the look of the marks you have, tea tree keeps the bumps that cause new ones in check, and the oils keep your skin soft. Twice a day, 60 seconds.

Why most turmeric soaps do not work
like SAWUMI.

Heat ruins the good part.

A lot of turmeric soap is made fast and hot, and that is hard on the turmeric itself. Ours is ground extra fine and made in small batches, so it reaches your skin with the good part still in it.

Made for melanin-rich skin first.

Most products are made for lighter skin and sold to everyone. This bar was built around the way Black and brown skin marks: after breakouts, after shaving, in folds like underarms and inner thighs.

Gentle enough for twice a day.

The most common complaint about turmeric bars is dry, tight skin. Shea butter, aloe, honey, olive and coconut oil keep it soft, so you can use it morning and night without burning or stripping.

I had really horrible razor bumps and acne in my beard. I’ve only been using this soap for a few weeks and it’s literally cleared up my skin. I was a bit skeptical about how well it would work, but I started seeing progress in like 3 days of consistent use.

Before you order

Everything else you might be asking.

Will this lighten my natural skin tone?

No. It helps fade the look of dark spots and evens out the look of discoloration, but it does not bleach or lighten your skin beyond its natural colour. There is no hydroquinone and no bleach in the bar.

Will it help with hyperpigmentation?

That is what it is made for. Turmeric helps fade the look of dark spots, acne marks and uneven areas like underarms and inner thighs, so your tone looks more even over time. It is a soap, not a medicine, so for a skin condition talk to your doctor.

How long before I see results?

Many people notice brighter-looking skin within 7 to 14 days, with marks looking clearly lighter around 30 days. Consistency is key.

How do I use it for the best results?

Face: lather, apply for 60 to 90 seconds, then rinse and follow with a light moisturiser. Body: use daily in the shower, focusing on marks and uneven areas such as underarms, bikini line, knees and elbows.

Can I use it every day?

Yes, morning and night. If your skin is sensitive, start every other day and build up.

Is it safe for sensitive skin?

It is sulphate-free and made with shea butter, aloe and honey for daily use. Everyone’s skin is different, so patch test on your inner arm first, avoid broken skin, and stop if you get irritation.

Can I use it on my bikini line or underarms?

Yes. It is made for body skin including underarms, inner thighs, the outer bikini line, knees and elbows. External use only, keep it away from eyes and intimate mucous areas.

Will the turmeric stain my skin or clothes?

No. It rinses off your skin, and any lather that gets on a towel washes out easily.

How long does one bar last?

Face only: around 4 to 6 weeks. Face and body: around 3 to 4 weeks. Keep it on a draining dish between uses and it lasts longer.

What if nothing changes?

Then it costs you nothing. Use it for up to 30 days from delivery. If you do not see a clear difference, email hello@sawumi.com and we refund you in full.

How does the refill work?

Your first box arrives now with any free bars and gifts. After that, a refill of the bars you paid for ships every month at the same subscriber price (1 bar on Buy 1 and Buy 1 Get 1, 2 bars on Buy 2 Get 2). Free bars and gifts are first-order only. Skip, change or cancel anytime from your account or by emailing hello@sawumi.com. No fees, no lock-in.

How fast does it arrive?

Orders placed before 11pm are dispatched the same day. Most arrive within 5 to 8 business days, and you get tracking by email as soon as it ships.

The tumeric bar of soap is great! It doesn't disolve like most bars. It lathers really well and has left my skin feeling smooth and clean. I have noticed a difference in my skin and acne/bumps healing. I sent my extra bar of soap to a family member and they are impressed. I will definitely be buying more amd definitely would recommend this product.

It has not been 30 days. I have been using the soap for a couple of weeks. I like that the soap makes my skin feel hydrated and soft. My skin does not feel dry or tight. When I ordered, I had a concern related to shipping. Customer service was responsive and professional. I appreciate your business and your product and I will continue to order.

I was skeptical about this product because I have tried so many others in the past that made promises and didn't live up to them. I can honestly say that I felt and saw a difference immediately after my initial use of Sawumi! I wasn't certain if I wanted to commit to monthly deliveries but now that is what I want above all! Thank you so much for holding true to your commitment to helping those of us with skin issues!
