Pine Tar Bar
Attagirl Soaps Pine Tar Soap Bar
If you’ve never seen, smelled, or used pine tar soap before, then you are truly in for a treat.
I first started making this bar over 20 years ago, drawn in by the rich history behind it. Pine tar has been used for generations in traditional, old-fashioned skincare, and once I learned about it, I knew I had to figure out how to make it myself. What started as curiosity quickly turned into one of my most beloved and long-standing recipes.

This unique-looking bar is made with simple, all-natural oils and high-quality pine tar to create a deeply cleansing, skin-soothing soap. Pine tar—an extract from the pine tree—is a thick, dark, molasses-like substance known for its cleansing, deodorizing, and calming properties. Its distinct woodsy scent and rich color speak directly to its connection to the forest and to time-honored traditions.
Much like traditional pine tar salves, this soap works with the skin, not against it. It gently cleanses while helping to calm and comfort dry, itchy, or irritated areas. Many customers reach for this bar when their skin feels out of balance and in need of something simple, grounding, and effective.
A Truly Versatile Bar
This is more than just a body soap—it’s a hardworking, multi-use bar.
For skin: A gentle yet effective cleanser for dry, itchy, or sensitive skin
For scalp & hair: One of my personal favorites as a shampoo bar—it lathers beautifully, rinses clean, and leaves hair feeling full and refreshed
For pets: Pine tar’s natural deodorizing properties make this a wonderful, simple dog wash—leaving coats clean, soft, and fresh
It’s the kind of bar people come back to again and again because it simply works.
Pure, Simple Ingredients
Each bar is made with high-quality, thoughtfully chosen ingredients:
Pine tar
Olive oil
Coconut oil
Canola oil
Shea butter
Distilled water
Lye
That’s it.
No essential oils, no added fragrance—just the natural, earthy aroma of pine tar itself. If you love the smell of the outdoors, you’ll appreciate the deep, smoky, woodsy scent that makes this bar so distinctive.
Rooted in Tradition
There’s something special about using a product that has stood the test of time. Pine tar soap has long been valued in traditional skincare for its simplicity and effectiveness. This bar carries that same spirit—old-fashioned, no-nonsense, and deeply connected to nature.
Packaging:
All Attagirl Soaps’ soaps are nearly package-free! Each soap comes in a small natural paper bag. No plastic bottles, no plastic wraps. Just the soap and a little brown bag :)
Size
Bars are approximately 5.5 oz
