Plus: earn 5% back through Selfcare Rewards. Free Canadian shipping applies at $95+, so you can add other favourites to your routine to reach the threshold.
Turn the bar into a complete brightening routine
Step 1 — Cleanse: use the Kojic Acid Brightening Bar daily on the targeted area.
Step 2 — Continue the routine: follow with the Kaia Naturals Takesumi Bright Niacinamide Brightening Deodorant for underarm care between showers.
Shopping tip: building the routine also makes the $95 free-shipping threshold easier to reach than ordering a $17 bar on its own.
How to use it
Wet the bar and targeted area, work into a lather, massage over the skin briefly and rinse thoroughly. Start gradually if your skin is sensitive and avoid use immediately after shaving or waxing. Follow with body care as needed.
Consistency matters. Changes in the appearance of uneven tone take time and vary from person to person; think in terms of a consistent routine over several weeks rather than an overnight result.

Frequently asked questions
What is kojic acid soap used for?
It is commonly used as part of a body-care routine for the appearance of dark spots, uneven tone, underarm discolouration and marks left by shaving or ingrown hairs.
Can I use it on my underarms?
Yes. Avoid using it immediately after shaving or waxing, and reduce frequency if the area becomes irritated.
How long until I see results?
Results vary. Consistent use over several weeks is more realistic than expecting an immediate change.
Can I use it on my face?
No. This bar is intended for targeted body use rather than facial cleansing.
Can I buy the Kaia Naturals Kojic Acid Brightening Bar in Canada?
Yes. Oak + Tonic stocks it in Canada, ships across the country, and offers local pickup at our Southcentre Mall and Aspen Landing stores in Calgary.
