Pine Tar - Body Wash - 9.5 Fl. Oz - The Grandpa Soap Company

Found it to be an excellent body wash when used with an abrasive flannel or sponge. Strong tar scent but not unpleasant and lathers very well. would recommend.

Skin feels smooth after 1st wash but it has a very strong "cigarette (tobacco)" smell. Despite me a smoker, I couldn't stand the "cigarette" smell from this bodywash.

I've been having occasional psoriasis flare-ups for the last decade. Most of the time it's only in the same couple of places but this last one started several months ago and showed up where it hadn't before. I've been using some clobetasol creams over the years but the effectiveness wasn't as good as before. I finally decided to try phototherapy which has helped immensely during the 17 sessions I've had so far. My wife suggested that I should also NOT use anti-bacterial Dial soap, which I've used forever. Looking around at what people have said worked for them, I found pine tar soap so I decided to give it a try. (I've been using coal tar shampoo on-and-off for years.)First off, the smell/odor is very potent but surprisingly does not last on the skin all that long. It does lather fairly well, even without using a washcloth. Our house is plumbed with a soft water conditioner for the last 20+ years (San Jose, CA has very hard water) which in my opinion, leaves my skin very slippery and feeling like there's still a film of soap on it. So I tend to rinse very well. My skin does feel a bit less dry since using this soap, except for my hands which are currently very dry. I wash my hands a lot during the day cleaning out five cat litter boxes. And I use either the Dial soap or some liquid soap afterwards. I haven't yet resorted to using any moisturizer on my body but have used some on my hands the last two weeks, which seems to help.So far, I'm happy with Grandpa Soap and I'll continue to use it, even after the phototherapy ends.

Strong scent, if you don’t like earthy scents with tea tree oil don’t buy it. If you like earthy natural scents with no artificial “clean” scents then buy it. I have eczema, works pretty well with no adverse affects. Clean ingredients, good value.

This product is ideal for those with dry sensitive skin
