Black 30% Norwegian pine tar soap bar with charcoal

30% Norwegian Pine Tar Soap - Dark, smoky, and intense.

$8.95

If your soap doesn't smell like a campfire crossed with a Viking longship, you're doing it wrong.

This is my #1 selling soap

Midnight-black, seriously smoky, and not messing around: this is REAL 30% Norwegian pine tar soap.

Most pine tar soaps use 10–20% pine tar. Ours is 30% - real, handmade Norwegian pine tar, which is expensive, hard to source, and famously difficult to work with in both cold- and hot-process soapmaking.

I do it anyway, because the result is worth it.

Ingredients: Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, Castor Oil, Norwegian Pine Tar, Activated Hardwood Charcoal
Scent: Smoky, woody, charred, tar-forward - ancient and rugged
Format: Castile hot-process bar soap, handmade in small batches
Lather: Jet black from the charcoal and real pine tar. It rinses clean without staining the skin.
Customer favorite: One of my most requested bars - just read the feedback!

The story behind the bar

THE LORE

30% Norwegian Pine Tar

It smells like history.

Pine tar has been made and used for centuries, long before it found its way into soap.

By the Viking Age, resinous pine wood and roots were slowly heated with limited oxygen to draw out the thick, dark tar. Later it became indispensable for protecting wooden ships, ropes, and rigging.

This bar carries that rugged tradition forward with an unusually high concentration of real Norwegian pine tar.

We found pine tar soap about 10 years ago for our dogs. Love for their dry skin in the winter, but use it all year!

Pine Tar smells amazing with a very strong woody and smokey smell. As a man who is as outdoorsy as they come, this scent smells great. I would personally say this one is a more "manly" smell. Going to give it a shot as a healthier alternative to treating dandruff and light psoriasis.

My past experiences ordering "pine tar" has been disappointing to say the least. I saw a pine tar soap bar from J.D. BAUER BOTANICALS and was immediately intrigued. I figured what do I have to lose and ordered one. SO GLAD I DID!!!!! Luv the smell and the size. 5⭐

Fast shipping and this is my husband’s favorite! It’s great for the skin and it’s a very manly smell…like sitting around a campfire smell.

Great scent, bad taste :-) Best pine tar soap I've ever had.

Fantastic product! I love pine tar soap in general and this soap does not disappoint. It makes an epic lather for shampooing hair, too, which is what I primarily use this soap for. Along with my recent purchase (btw, great sale!) the seller sent 2 small samples to try and now I am eager to purchase other soap varieties! I will be back:-D

Bought as dandruff shampoo for my husband, who loves it. Then my son tried it and says it’s the best after-workout body soap an ever. Thanks for a great product!

I love this soap. When first started using pine or birch tar soap the strong smell took getting used to (worth it though) but now it's extremely comforting somehow

I appreciate all the little details and the fact that it seems to just be a pure and natural, smoky pine tar soap bar without any other added fragrance or scents. 👌🏼😉

The only thing I wonder is why it took longer to get here from CA, which is right next door than a similar one I ordered the same day, all the way from CT?..

Oh my - The scent change between the harsh, strong pine tar soap bar scent and the softened smooth scent after using it is a lingering wonder.

I don’t like this smell but my husband absolutely loves it! I will say that it made his skin very soft…great for itchy skin or eczema. He’s been raving about the soap. It’s also a huge soap. It has a machine soap, leathery smell and my husband absolutely love it. In fact he’s telling me to buy him more.

Pine Tar and Coal Tar soaps seem to be the best for my skin and scalp I believe this is the 'Real Deal'

I am blown away with the quality and effort put into making this soap bar. It is beyond my expectations! The seller also is a true gentleman. Here is his reply

Hey Tom! There is no problem at all with the order! In fact, it went out today on schedule I believe. I'm not sure if you saw on my page that there is about a 5 day shipping window. I'm a rare breed in that I make everything to order. Nothing is sitting on the shelf for months. I also process the plants and pine tar myself. It takes about a day and a half to make the pine tar. I use a very old hands on Norwegian method. It uses a LOT of wood and takes a while. Then the soap making takes another day. Due to it being hot process soap, (I cook it basically...) the setting time is pretty quick....2-3 days. After that...it's on the way to you!

You don’t find this kind of scent anywhere else. It smells so refreshing in a “smokey” way. Hard to describe. Almost unreal...
Buy it.

Just got the bars today and I was so excited to shower after work knowing that I got to test out this new soap!! The bar smells great; simple yet distinct pine and other ingredients. It gives a nice clean moisturizer feel. It’s refreshing. This soap is quality and even the packaging details make soap like this all the more exciting to buy and use.

All I had to do was pull them out of the delivery package and immediately, I could smell the pine. They have an almost smoky note to them, and I absolutely ADORE it!
They have a powerful scent, and just setting one of the bars in the bathroom has filled it with an earthy note!
Wonderful quality.
Looks and smells as described.
Better than I expected!

Even better was the packaging. The wax seal was the icing on the cake! They felt like old time presents! I was absolutely delighted!
Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for the high quality products. Tar soap for psoriasis is very helpful and shampoo is good quality. We love the African Black Soap. Everyone in the family wants the tar soap. It’s like Grandma’s. Thanks again!
