Pine Tar Soap: What This Old-School Remedy Can Do for Your Skin

What Is Pine Tar Soap?

Pine tar soap is one of the oldest skin remedies around — and for good reason. Made by distilling pine wood at high heat, pine tar has been used for centuries to soothe irritated, itchy, and inflamed skin. Our Pine Tar Soap Bar Loaf contains 20% pine tar — a potent concentration that delivers real results.

Pine Tar Soap Benefits for Skin

Pine tar soap is best known for relieving conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and dandruff. Its natural antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties help calm redness, reduce flaking, and restore the skin barrier without harsh synthetic chemicals.

Pine Tar Soap for Beard and Face

Men with coarse or sensitive facial skin find pine tar soap especially effective. It cleanses deeply without stripping natural oils, making it ideal for beard washing and daily face cleansing. Pair it with our Liquid Pine Tar Shampoo & Body Soap for a full routine.

Pine Tar Soap for Scalp and Dandruff

Pine tar is a clinically recognized active ingredient for dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. Used as a shampoo bar, it reduces flaking and itching while leaving the scalp balanced and clean.

Is Pine Tar Soap Safe?

Yes — when used as directed. Pine tar soap has a long safety record and is recognized by the FDA as an effective OTC treatment for psoriasis. Our handmade formula uses no synthetic detergents, parabens, or artificial fragrances.
