Pine Tar Grit Soap

Description

This pine tar soap has some heavy grit to help you wash off the grunge.  It has a masculine scent of orange and cedar.  We put several key ingredients in this soap to give it the grit, while at the same time, making it a “good for your skin” cleansing bar. It’s one of our best recipes for a good soap, with pine tar, activated charcoal, ground oatmeal, and pumice thrown in.

PLEASE NOTE: 

The Pumice will cause the soap to have a lot of grit.  Most guys like it, but others feel it’s too scratchy to use as a bath soap.  We recommend starting off using it as a hand soap (it’s great for dirty hands). Then, if you think you can handle it, head off to the shower with it.

The Activated Charcoal &/or Pine Tar will leave a dark residue in your soap dish and/or wash cloth, but it rinses right out. This is common with charcoal and pine tar soaps.

About: Our soap is handmade in a tiny shop on our farm in Southwest Missouri. It is made in small batches that are allowed to cure for a minimum of 4 weeks. After it is cured, we shrink wrap each bar and apply a label that includes the ingredients and the minimum weight of the bar, as well as some other information.  When we receive your order, we hand select the bars and ship them to you, usually the very same day via USPS.

Weight: Each bar of soap weighs from 4.5 to 5.5 oz. (unless stated otherwise) when cured and labeled but may continue to lose weight over time. They are hand-cut, so the weight will vary slightly.  We label the soap with the lowest weight of the batch.

Storage & Use: Handmade lye soap should be kept in a dry ventilated area until time to use.  Between uses, be sure to put the soap on a well-drained soap dish or rack.  By allowing the soap to dry between uses, it will last much longer.  If allowed to sit in moisture, it may become mushy.
