The Healthy Porcupine 20% Pine Tar Soap with Tallow

My son is extremely happy about this shampoo!! What a life changer! Thank you

It helps, but isn’t a long term solution. Makes me smell like a campfire.

I never received my order.

I love this soap! It makes my skin super soft

Best soap for the skin issue I have which was diagnosed as psoriasis. The soap has absolutely helped smooth the spots on my skin. It's made the skin super soft and has softened the dryness of the plaques. I am doing many other treatments --supplements, light therapy, etc-- to try and fix the skin but using the soap has had the most instant and wonderful effect. I quickly ordered 2 more. Thank you.

Love it. Not only cleans my hands well sfter gardening, but removed driveway sealer from my husband's hands and arms and that was an unexpected (grateful) surprise!

Works for eczema

Works for eczema

I've had skin outbreaks in my scalp neckline area for over 2 years now and have tried both prescribed shampoos and medications and nothing that really seems to go after and calm the itchiness and proliferation of the rash like this soap seems to be. I'm barely working my way through the bar though, so only time will tell if it too begins to have minimal effect like so many of the others. I think key to using this is to leave it lathered and worked into the area for a good 5 to 10 minutes before rinsing, and using at least every other day. So far very happy with purchase and no more loading the area up with creams and oils, etc. at night before bed, just wash use daily or every other day at minimum and I believe it will work.

Overall good experience. No issues and easy to deal with.

Good soap. Smell is a little overpowering.

My skin is becoming less itchy when I start to use this soap. It is far more effective than other so called “Pine Tar” soap.

Amazing (campfire) natural scent. Excellent wash and rinse. Love it.

I started using this Octoberish 2022, let me just say this..It has worked wonders for my Psoriasis! Flare ups aren't as much/bad as before especially during winter cold/dry months in Canada, it really helped maintain and got rid of the itching almost completely. If your suffering from Psoriasis like me, give this a try! The smell.. You'll eventually get use too, but for what it is, it works. I will be ordering more in the next few months. *Also note to the readers i use this with my prescribed daily foam steroid*

It smells like a fire pit and who wants to bathe in that?

I have mixed feelings about this soap. After trying the Grass Fed Tallow Soap (which worked well for the eczema on my hands), I tried this and was a little disappointed. I like that it has anti-bacterial properties, however, this soap left my hands feeling dry and itchy. After giving it a test run for 6 months, I still didn't notice an improvement. I'd still wake up in the middle of the night from severe itchiness and would have to moisturize, moisturize, and moisturize my hands like crazy. Compared to the Grass Fed Tallow Soap, I noticed a major improvement with my skin. I really wanted to like this product mainly because of it's anti-bacterial properties and working with kids, I'm exposed to some pretty disgusting things. So, I wanted a soap that would do the job of cutting down the bacteria. I believe that it does a good job of minimizing bacteria, however, it just didn't work out for me the way the Grass Fed Tallow Soap did.

I don’t think it is your fault. The pine tar soap is not making a difference in the skin situation.

Not for people with sensitivity to smell!!

I have a very sensitive nose. I could smell this soap through the packaging. When I opened it, the entire apt smelled like it. I put it in 3 ziplock bags, and I could still smell it. So I coudn't use it, sadly. The smell was too intense for me. It sounds fabulous, but I couldn't handle the smell.[Response from The Eczema Company:] We're so sorry the smell was too much for you. Pine tar does have a strong, unique scent, so we have indicated this in the description. Despite the smell, it works very well in relieving eczema and psoriasis, so we offer it for those that don't mind the scent and are looking for alternative healing options.

The smell is strong and not that pleasant. It lathered nicely. It didn’t work for my skin, but my eczema is very severe.

We purchased this soap as a recommendation for treating my 13 yr old daughter's eczema which has been increasing lately. We have tried all the prescription meds with no luck. We figured we could try the pine tar soap and see what happens. It does have a fairly strong odor (you can smell the tar just walking into the room), but that doesn't seem to bother her. She has used it for about 2 weeks, not sure if we have seen any amazing results yet. But we will keep at it for a while.

This is really making a difference for my painfully dry and cracking hands. In less than a week of use I notice a real difference. Be ready to smell like a firefighter though. And for your bathroom to smell like a campfire. It’s no joke. But for me its worth it!

Long time user of The Healthy Porcupine's pine tar soap. I've tried them all, and this one is my favourite - great wash, excellent scent. The Eczema Co is the only supplier for Canada, that I know of.

I’ve had a nasty rash. I tried both the Pine Tar and Zinc soaps. I prefer the Pine Tar. Both lather nicely. The Pine Tar lather, on the rash — especially where the skin was most irritated & perhaps even broken through — caused a slight “stinging” feeling that dissipated fairly promptly. After rinsing & patting my skin dry, I could sense a therapeutic effect. The Zinc Soap lather, on the rash, did not feel unusual at all. Intellectually, I believe that zinc helps eczema; so I think it must have had a therapeutic effect. But I cannot feel the effect, as I can with the Pine Tar Soap. Also, the Zinc Soap leaves a slight residue in the tub that is not present with the Pine Tar Soap.

The soap didn’t dry out skin and works well for my eczema.

It does have an odd smell, but no worse than other tar-based dandruff products. Works really well.

First off, I have Psoriasis. I was skeptical of this product in the beginning, wasn't sure if it was real pine tar or just a gimmick like Dr. Squatch.. So I've been using this since the end of October 2021. Originally this was a gift, I ordered an extra 2 for myself to "test" it out before i give it to the person(which i did) . Within the 1st week, the scaling was gone! As over time the redness disappeared. All the expensive($100+) medications I've used doesn't compare to what this soap can do. Honestly the best purchase I've made in a long time. I just reordered, got more and will be a returning customer. Thank you
