Pine Tar Soap Bar Blog Detail

Our Pine Tar bar soap helps soothe itchy and inflamed skin conditions. Pine tar is the end product of pine wood carbonisation following distillation using extreme heat.Pine tar has been used in medicine for more than 2000 years to treat a range of skin conditions because of its soothing and antiseptic properties. Pine tar should not be confused with coal tar, which has been produced from coal for approximately a hundred years. This bar soap is unscented and suitable for use for adults, children and anyone with fragrance sensitivity. The addition of pine tar and colloidal oatmeal make it a real skin treat for sensitive skin.

THE SPECIALTY INGREDIENTS

Pine Tar Extract

Pine tar has been shown to be antipruritic, anti‐inflammatory, antibacterial and antifungal. These properties make pine tar suitable for the topical treatment of eczema, psoriasis, seborrhoeic dermatitis and other dry, itchy, flaky or inflamed skin conditions.

Colloidal Oatmeal Extract  

One study found that colloidal oatmeal’s unique chemical profile diminishes cytokines, a group of proteins that cause inflammation in your body. These beneficial properties are due to “avenanthramides”, a group of plant chemicals found in oat kernels. By blocking inflammatory cytokines, “avenathramides” inhibit the inflammatory response.
