Why Guys Are Looking Beyond Dr. Squatch

Dr. Squatch helped popularize natural soap. But let’s be honest—sometimes it feels more like a slick brand than a rugged bar. If you’re after something with real substance, here’s why Nostalgic Skin Co. is leading the charge:

  • Stronger scents made with pure essential oils
  • Bars that last longer and lather like mad
  • No gimmicks. No subscriptions. Just damn good soap

2. Surf Orange

Scent: Pure citrus
Feel: Cool + refreshing
Why it works: Ditch synthetic citrus. This is pure orange essential oil and aloe vera. You’ll smell like sunrise on the beach—and feel that rush too.

3. Bay Runner
