pine tar soap

Forest-scented bar

Pine tar soap is soap containing pine tar, a dark sticky substance distilled from pine wood.

Traditionally used for skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis, it has a distinctive smoky, medicinal scent.

The soap is valued for its antiseptic properties and appears in both therapeutic and general grooming products: My grandfather always kept a bar of pine tar soap by the sink.
