All Natural Bar Soap for Men with Heavy Grit, Pine Tar

I like the smell and cleaning properties as the bar has some grit to it. It doesn't last as long as conventional soap and ends up being a bit more expensive in the end but that's a trade off I'll take when considering the overall experience. Natural ingredients win out over man made chemicals.

Love this soap Dr. Squatch is amazing. It’s very natural. The ingredients are great. It’s pretty moisturizing. It lathers up real nice has great exfoliation. It’s like a back scratch it just itches and it feels great. It’s very great soap and I would totally recommend it to anyone and it’s not detergent it’s not fake. It’s like none of that fake stuff. It’s got all that good. Amazing like just natural ingredients and I just love it. Smells great.

It does feel nice and smells nice. It also cleans well. Foams just enough and feels fresh. The Biggest con is the Price for such a small little bar. This seems and feels like it will run out fast. I can see how this could run up the wallet after a while. Due to this I probably won't buy it consistently. I would probably look at other brands that are cheaper and also all natural.

I buy this product for my sons who work outdoors, hunt, and are wild land firefighters. It helps get the dirt and grime off after along day on the farm, or fighting fires. They seem to enjoy the smell probably for the smell of pine. It’s a great product.

The short of it: I've been looking for a go-to soap for awhile, and this one is good enough that I might stick with it. Smells like pine, has a pleasing gritty texture, and for me at least, it's held up over time. The major critique I read in the reviews before purchasing was short longevity. I haven't really had that problem, in my experience. My bar has lasted about 3 weeks so far with a good amount still to go. It's on a rack hanging off the showerhead. If your shower would put the bar in range of water drops constantly flying off the shower, I imagine it would break down faster (another Dr. Squatch bar kept on a different rack has degraded more quickly, but that's not a Pine Tar so I'm not sure it's equivalent). Also important is how it's used. I usually lather up my hands instead of directly using the bar. This exposes it to less water and I think has contributed to its longevity. If you use it directly, the soap in between the solid exfoliating particles is more likely to get washed away quickly, and the bar will break down. That said, one of the major pluses of this soap is the texture. The sand/gritty stuff gives it a rough texture that's useful for exfoliation. Wakes you up a little better than your average, too. Regarding scent, it pretty much smells like pine. Truer to the smell of a pine tree than a lot of other "pine" scented products out there, but not perfect. Not quite Pine-Sol levels of bracing, but not as smoothly aromatic as real pine sap either. It's somewhere in between. I think it's pleasant in the shower, but if you prefer subtle scents, this isn't for you. Personally, I like a bit of a jarring in my morning shower, kind of like coffee before I actually have a cup of coffee. Overall, I'm pleased. It's lasted long enough that I'm satisfied with the longevity, and the scent is closer to actual pine tar than other pine soaps I've tried in the past. I would probably purchase again.

I finally caved in and bought this after seeing ad upon ad and video upon video of this soap bar, and a plethora of compliments on this soap bar. I think this Pine Tar scent is overplayed. I first got it and from the commercials; "The garden of Eden" and a girl mentioning she was staying for breakfast from the way it smelled on the commercial had me thinking "okay, this is going to smell really good". First thoughts: It does smell pretty good, however it did remind me of a grandpa cologne at first but I quickly shook that thought from my mind. I was also hoping that this bar of soap will last pretty long and that I won't have to buy another bar next week for $10. Initial Use: This bar is pretty abrasive but tolerable like taking salt in your hand and rubbing it on your skin (weird analogy right?) Anyways, I was not able to get it to lather up very well at all like in the commercial, barely any lather. It did turn the water black a little bit and left some black residue on me during passes (it rinsed off, so I am not concerned about it). My skin does feel refreshed and softer from the exfoliation caused by the bar. In conjunction with this soap bar, I also bought the Anwenk wooden soap holder thing for $6 to lay the Pine Tar bar on top of after rinsing it to help it last longer. Will update on occasion for how long it lasts. UPDATE 7/11/19: The picture shows 16 days worth of the bar of soap with no more than 30 seconds of lather for use. I rinse it, shake the water off and set it on the wooden thing. It smells and feel really nice, but $20 a month for a bar or soap is pretty expensive.

This is really excellent soap! There is very little comparison between this soap and most of the other handmade soap options out there. Even though there are a number of "hand made" soaps on the market and many of them are excellent, this soap is still one of the best I've ever used. Not only do the natural benefits of a pine tar soap shine through, but the added benefits of the exfoliating sand and the other natural ingredients make it a bit of a game changer. (Which is an interesting term to be applied to a product that is based on a good, old-fashioned, natural recipe and not some funky new chemical additive.) I find it interesting that some reviewers mention the scent... While there is a mild pine scent (which is both pleasant and TERRIBLY manly in my opinion), the scent is not overpowering in any way. I honestly don't understand any of the comments on it being a "strong" scent. Any scented soap out there has more of a lingering scent to it than this... even "unscented" ones often have more of a fragrance than this particular soap. As far as the cleaning and exfoliating properties, they do the job very well... as they should. The pine tar and other ingredients leave my skin feeling fresh and clean without any drying (a big thing when you live in a dry climate like Denver!), and the sand that is impregnated into the bar is just enough to give the soap some "grit" without seeming like it is sandpaper. If you are buying this soap to help with skin conditions, I can only speak from second-hand experience. My wife and daughter have issues with psoriasis and other than a very expensive mud that you can get from the dead sea, a good pine tar soap (like this one) is far and away the best treatment either of them has ever used... and considering the low cost and easy delivery through Amazon, it is not even a contest as to what they prefer to use on a daily basis. (BTW... if you need a good pine tar shampoo, try Heritage Store Hair Shampoo, Pine Tar, 12 Ounce , it is to shampoos what this soap is to medicated hand soap. And last but not least, even though it doesn't have any effect on the quality of the soap... the company is great! They have a cute little email blurb that they send you from Amazon after you have ordered that tells the story of how Sasquatches (Sasquatch-ie?) slave-away lovingly to make the soap for you... it is a minor marketing thing, but I found it surprisingly endearing that the company wants to give you a great product as well as a chuckle or two... Kudos!

✅Great soap that smells like cologne. ✅love the natural ingredients as it does not break my skin out from harsh chemicals ✅ easy the get the lather going. It is a little “soapy” with the bubble but not like traditional soaps and it doesn’t leave residue behind like them as well ✅ great at moisturizing my skin although it could be better. Atleast it doesn’t dry it out. ✅ great quantity soap as one bar last me 2 months

Not really good , not worth all the hype I’m sure some other brands are much better that one smells like a cardboard box overall I don’t recommend , and I didn’t expect it to be this small

Huele bien, pero es caro

Smells great. Just really pricey for a bar of soap.

Bueno para piel sensible.

Title says it all, found this soap was really nice on the skin for exfoliating. Smell after the shower doesn't last that long but definitely noticeable. JUST TOO EXPENSIVE!! This soap is $9 on dr. Squatchs website...
