Is this product black. My dad used to use this all the time but smell was pretty strong and looked like tar. I heard there is the same product now but not black

This is black salve. The color of this product is a tan color, but it is called black salve. It smells like a strong pine tar soap. I was raised on this stuff and so was my parents.

Not at all. It is a beautiful light amber color and doesn't smell too strong.

I think I know what your talking about with the black, its not that. This is kind of a beige color, its really handy to have around and lasts a long time because it doesn't take very much at a time to do the job..

I had tried Dudu-Osun before this Raw African Black Soap. The Dudu-Osun is much darker and more commercially processed. You will likely get a very consistent product with every purchase. I found it to be a bit messier due to the dark color. It is also more fragrant than the Raw soap. The batch of Raw soap I ordered I initially liked a lot but toward the center of my bar there was something very hard and grainy within it. It was abrasive and scratched my skin and so I have not touched it since. I'm going to look for an option number 3! Good luck to you.

If you make a point to smell it, it still has that odor. But I don't notice it on a daily basis, nor do I notice it when I'm handling it for use. I bought mine in August to give you a sense of the wear on it. The odor has dissipated a little since I bought it, so I assume it will continue doing so over time.

I have been using this product for months, and it always has the same strange odor. I have not had any problems with the product.

I'm not sure if this had anything to do with it or not, but I've always cleaned mine with Dr. Bronner's Hemp Pure-Castile Peppermint Soap. I haven't noticed that strong smell that it had since when I first took it out of the package.

It's black. It smelled at first, probably from assembly but it only smells like guns and powder and solvent now that it's been used.

Georgia, It's not real tar! It's just a very good shampoo. About the discoloration ??'s I can't say as my Son's hair is brown and I've noticed no change. I truly doubt that it would do anything colorwise to you hair. My Son uses it because he has psoriasis on his scalp and it does a great job keeping it under control. It also has a very clean odor. Hope this helps.

I received mine today and it has a VERY strong odor. Which, is making the headache that I got this product to help with, much worse.

There is a smell to this product probably from the Petroleum Naptha it contains. We have an old home with beautiful floors but they too are very old. A can of this was in the house when we bought it and I've been using it since 2007. I intermittently clean with vinegar. By far one of the best restorative type products for old wood floors.

i think because of the tar in it, it will keep your color dark if that is what color you are using.

Mine never had a really strong odor. There was a slight odor, but not an unpleasant one, for the first week or so but none that I've noticed since then. I think it just needed to air out a little. Now it just smells like leather.

It's safe for couches as far as I know, but, it makes the leather very dark, and by dark, I mean almost black. On a sample I did on our brown Nubuck leather couch, it also left an oily feeling, even after some time. I ended up using another product on our leather couch that didn't leave a residue, and didn't make it so dark.

does this smell like their other 10 products? I thought the product was great, but they smelled like 1970s cheap cologne, overpowering bad. I stopped buying the 10 products because of the unpleasant odor, does this have a smell?

As it comes from the jug, it smells a little like oil as it is oil with emulsfyers in it. I mixed some last fall and it is still good. A friend of mine mixes a gallon of oil and water at a time and uses it over a year before needing to mix more. We both use it in cleaning black powder rifles.

Mine, which I ordered in the early part of summer, is all black....or, if the strip is grey, it is VERY dark grey, not like a skunk as in this pic...
