Alternatives to Dr. Squatch Soap - Nostalgic Skin Co.

Top 5 Dr. Squatch Alternatives That Actually Work

If you’ve outgrown Dr. Squatch or want something more real, here are 5 bar soaps that check all the boxes: scent, strength, and simplicity.

Why Guys Are Looking Beyond Dr. Squatch

Dr. Squatch made natural soap popular. But if you’re craving something with a little more grit—and a little less marketing—you're not alone. Here’s what makes the switch worth it:

  • Stronger scents made with essential oils, not synthetic blends
  • Bars that last longer and lather better
  • No gimmicks. No subscriptions. Just damn good soap

1. Pine Tar Bar – Nostalgic Skin Co.

Rugged, smoky, and built like a log cabin. Our Pine Tar Bar is a Dr. Squatch-killer for guys who want grit without goo. Deep-cleansing with kaolin clay and real pine tar.

2. Surf Orange – Nostalgic Skin Co.

If Squatch’s citrus bars didn’t quite hit the mark, Surf Orange will. Pure orange essential oil, aloe vera, and a clean that feels like a morning wave to the face.

3. Bay Runner – Nostalgic Skin Co.

Crisp citrus with a spiced kick. Bay Runner lathers like a beast and delivers a bold scent that stays without overpowering.

4. Cedarwood – Nostalgic Skin Co.

Warm, woodsy, and minimal. For guys who hate the fluff but love smelling like they just split firewood.

5. The 8-Bar Set – Nostalgic Skin Co.

Not sure where to start? Grab our full lineup with the 8-Bar Soap Set. Rotate scents by season or mood. Every bar is natural, masculine, and cured for 6 weeks to actually last.
