Pine Tar Soap is a 5 oz handmade bar made with real pine tar, cold-processed and cured six weeks in San Diego. It's the shower bar for guys who come home covered in grease, sawdust, sweat and job-site dirt: it cuts through the day without leaving your skin tight. Rated 4.9 out of 5 by 63 customers.
What it's for
The after-work shower. Mechanics, framers, concrete guys, anyone who splits wood or sweats for a living. Pine tar has been used for over a century on dry, itchy and flaky skin, and plenty of our customers with eczema, psoriasis and dry winter skin reach for this bar first. We didn't invent that. We cured it longer so it lasts, and made it smell like a cabin instead of a tire shop.
What it's not for
It's a body bar, not a hand degreaser. For motor oil and adhesives on your hands, use a pumice hand cleaner at the sink, then this bar in the shower. Skip it on raw, cracked or inflamed skin, and patch-test first if you're sensitive. If a dermatologist has you on a treatment, this is soap, not medicine.

What it smells like
Smoky and woodsy up front: wood smoke, pine resin, a little leather. It settles to clean fir and cypress after you rinse and fades within the hour. If you like a campfire and a cold morning, you'll like this. If you want a Christmas-tree air freshener, you won't.
Who makes it
Nostalgic Skin Co. is a men's natural bar soap company in San Diego, started in 2023 by Jason Shotwell, who's been making soap since 2016. Every bar is cold-processed and cured a full six weeks so it holds up in the shower and doesn't stain the tub.
Got a beard?
The bar gets your face and beard clean. These keep it soft afterward, in the same fir-and-cypress family:
- Pine Tar Beard Oil ($20, 2 oz). A few drops a day; one bottle lasts most guys a couple of months.
- Pine Tar Beard Balm ($20). Light hold for flyaways.
Is pine tar soap good for eczema or psoriasis?
Many people with psoriasis and dry, itchy skin use pine tar soap and like it. It is not a proven treatment and soap only stays on the skin for seconds, so think of it as a gentle daily cleanser that doesn't make things worse, not a cure. Stop if it stings.
Will it stain my tub or towel?
No. Pine tar bars that aren't cured long enough can leave marks; six weeks of curing is why ours don't.
How long does a bar last?
About 3–4 weeks of daily showers if you keep it on a draining soap dish.

Why Cured 4-6 Weeks?
▼
Most soap companies rush production (1-2 weeks). We cure ours for 4-6 weeks.
The result? Harder, denser bars that don't turn to mush after a few showers. More water evaporates during the long cure, creating a bar that lasts weeks instead of days.
It's the old-school way—before "natural soap" became a marketing term. We'd rather take the time to make it right.
