Black Nun Soap

Pharmacist-formulated solid soap

From the highlands of Madeira, Black Nun carries the quiet courage of the nuns of Santa Clara. In 1566, during the French pirate attack on Funchal, the nuns fled to a hidden mountain valley — dressed in their black habits — to protect the convent's most precious treasures. This gentle, nourishing artisanal soap carries that same spirit of quiet strength and protection.

Crafted with wild local honey from the island, it delivers a soft, comforting cleanse while leaving skin feeling hydrated, smooth, and beautifully balanced. Naturally rich in glycerin helps attract and hold moisture for a softer, more comfortable skin feel.
