The pine tar consists of an aromatic compound that you notice right away. As suggested by its name, it smells of pine tar. Some people may find the scent a pleasure, whereas others may think it is medicinal smelling or too strong. However, the scent does not linger for long, and some people say they have gotten used to it and actually like it. Pine Tar's Therapeutic Properties Many people who suffer from skin problems such aseczema, psoriasis, rosacea, and even dandruff may find natural relief by using this soap. No cure is guaranteed, of course, and sufferers often must experiment to find what works for them. If you do decide to try this soap, check the label to make sure it actually contains pine tar oil. Look for quality soap in a very dark color. Brands of Soap With Pine Tar There are relatively few retail brands of this soap around today. You won't find it at Walmart, but you may find it in certain drugstores. It is available online, and you will find a few soap handcrafters that offer it on Etsy.com. You even may find handcrafted versions that offer a higher percentage of pine tar oil than you find in retail brands.  Grandpa's Wonder Pine Tar Soap, has been available since 1878! There are no artificial colors or scents added to it, and it uses a base of coconut and palm oils and has vegetable glycerin for moisturizing, too. If you have dandruff, consider Grandpa's Pine Tar Shampoo, Is Pine Tar Soap Safe for My Face? If you've sworn off the use of chemical-laden skin care products, you might run across pine tar soap. The brown-colored soap cleanses without skin-drying sodium laureth sulfate and is known for its healing properties. But, is the soap safe to use on the delicate skin of your face to treat skin conditions? What Is It? When pine wood is heated, it reduces down to charcoal and pine tar. When a small amount of this tar is added to a cosmetic product, it adds an antiseptic property to the product. Homesteaders and veterinarians have used the tar for years as a medicinal product for livestock. Treating Skin Conditions If you have a chronic skin condition such as eczema, acne, or psoriasis, talk with your dermatologist before using pine tar soap. The natural medicinal properties of the soap may interact with prescription medications and cause excessively dry or itchy skin. The soap is safe to use on all external parts of your body, including your hair and face. The natural product is best known for its ability to treat and soothe itchy, dry, sensitive skin. If you have poison ivy, a temporary rash due to pregnancy, or mild acne, the soap can provide relief. Using the Soap Like most soaps, pine tar soap will lather. If you use it on your face, be sure to keep the soap away from your eyes as the suds will sting. Use a washcloth lathered with the soap to control where you apply it on your face. The dark-colored soap has a strong odor reminiscent of the outdoors. Women with sensitivity to fragrance will find the soap difficult to use.
