Bold Simplicity: The Power of Pine Tar

When it comes to your skin, sometimes the boldest move you can make is getting back to the basics. No gimmicks. No synthetic junk. Just tried-and-true ingredients that have stood the test of time. That’s exactly what you’ll find in Brick Box Natural Soap Co.’s Northern Pine Tar soap — a rugged classic with real grit and real benefits.

What Is Pine Tar Soap, Anyway?

Pine tar has been used for centuries — by sailors, loggers, cowboys, and anyone tough enough to need a serious clean. It’s made by burning pine wood in a low-oxygen environment, which creates a thick, sticky tar loaded with natural antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties.

Sounds old-school? That’s because it is. And it still works.
