This soap has no added scents, colors, or anything else. It’s pine tar shaving soap. Just soap and Pine Tar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt doesn’t smell fancy – after all, it is tar!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat does it smell like? You’ve probably encountered pine tar, or something that smells like it at some point.  Have ever done one of the following:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeen on a tall wooden sailing vessel on a hot day?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplied some pine tar to the handle of your bat before stepping up to the home plate?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsed railroad ties to make a flowerbed?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTaken a trip to the La Brea tar pits?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRolled your window down while driving on a freshly paved road?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have, you know what this smells like (though the last three are asphalt and not pine tar, the smell is similar). It’s not a fresh, clean pine forest scent, but a warm, dirty, grity scent associated with hard work and callused hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat is pine tar? It’s a natural tar extracted from pine tree roots by heating or burning it in oxygen reduced atmosphere. Today most people only know it as the substance baseball players use to get a tight grip on their bats, but it has a far more colorful history than that. It has been used to waterproof tall sailing ships, and to treat the rigging ropes against rotting while in use. It has been used as an antiseptic, and a treatment for skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and rosacea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDoes it actually cure skin diseases? We have no idea, and we don’t advertise that it does. However pine tar soap has been made and loved for well over 100 years, and after using it, we are not surprised – it’s really good stuff.
