With each daily shower, we think we're deeply cleansing our skin, but the truth is that many commercial shower gels have the opposite effect, leaving our skin dry, dull, or even gradually darkening over time due to their harsh ingredients. This is why we're returning to nature, specifically to Moroccan blue indigo soap, as a practical solution that combines cleansing, brightening, and daily care in one step.
In this article from Laviment , we take you step by step to discover why this soap has become a favorite choice for evening out body tone without harming the skin.
What is commercial shower gel? (The hidden side)
Shower gel is a liquid product used as a modern alternative to soap, characterized by its rich lather and strong fragrance. However, most commercial brands contain ingredients that may damage the skin barrier, such as:
- Strong detergents (SLS/SLES): produce a thick lather but strip the skin of its natural oils.
- Perfumes and alcohol: cause dryness and irritations that may lead to darkening later.
- Preservatives: May be harsh on sensitive skin.
What is indigo soap for body lightening?
Blue indigo soap is a natural Moroccan soap made primarily from indigo powder, a traditional substance used for centuries in Moroccan hammam rituals. This soap is considered more "therapeutic" than simply a cleanser, combining:
- Deep and gentle cleansing of pores.
- Gradual lightening and unification of skin tone.
- Moisturizing and protection from dryness thanks to natural oils.

What does indigo soap do for the body?
Indigo soap does not just work as a regular soap, but performs several cosmetic functions at once:
1. Unifying skin tone: Indigo blue helps to lighten superficial pigmentation caused by sun or friction, and gives the body a more uniform and radiant color over time.
2. Deep and effective cleansing : Cleanses the skin of accumulated grease and dirt without causing that unpleasant feeling of "tightening" or dryness left by commercial products.
3. Instant moisturizing and softness: Because they are often made with natural oils, they give the skin a soft and healthy feel from the first use, sometimes eliminating the need for intensive moisturizing after showering.

Indigo soap vs. shower gel: A fair comparison
The real difference doesn't appear just from the first use, but with continued use:
