Battle-Tested Ingredients: Why Pine Tar Soap is Your Skin’s Best Friend

Before there was a marketing team and modern skincare, there was pine tar. An element that has stood the test of time, pine tar, has been trusted for generations by loggers, soldiers and craftsman. Pine tar is not a gimmicky additive; it's a tool that has been washing off gritty, hard-working men for more than 100 years.

At Wild Timber, we don't just honour this legacy, we build on it. With our Pine Tar Ejection bar we didn't create just soap, we created a weapon for men that actually get dirty, and need a deep clean and skin reset. 

What is Pine Tar?

Pine tar is made by slowly burning pine wood in an oxygen-reduced environment to extract a thick, dark, resin. What is distilled is a substance with inherent antiseptic, antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties.

Pine tar has been used for centuries for:

Cleansing and detoxifying skin

What to do about irritation and itching

Eczema. Psoriasis. Acne.

Natural deodorizing without synthetic fragrance.

Why It Works

While the world has turned to brightly colored gels and chemically loaded "moisturizing" washes and fragrances, pine tar has continued to do what skin predominantly needs—remove waste, peacefully calm inflammation, and clean you like you need to be without over-drying.

When your skin has seen it all—sawdust, grease, gym sweat or backwoods grime—pine tar is here.

Pine Tar Ejection: Here for the dirtiest clean

Wild Timber's Pine Tar Ejection bar takes everything legendary about pine tar, and cranks it up to 11. It is manufactured with real pine tar and no nonsense, it is lathery gritty and rinses clean.

The fragrance is bold and raw—smokey, woodsy and deeply masculine. It kind of feels like you just walked out of a log cabin and just split a cord of firewood.

Excellent for:

Mechanics and tradesmen

Campers, hikers and outdoorsman

Anyone that sweats

Smells like strength, feels like clean.

Pine tar is not a synthetic soap that masks bad smell with sweeteners like gels. Pine tar clears out dirt, kills funk down to the root and restores balance to your skin, WITHOUT STRIPPING IT!

Want more arsenal? Alternating Pine Tar Ejection with other bars like Rubicon Ridge (charcoal + pumice) or Twin Pines Legacy (double pine hit) allows for a wide spectrum clean. 

Why Pine Tar Soap is Still King:

Natural. Proven. Tough as nails. Pine tar is your skins best friend when life is messy; and with Wild Timber's handcrafted bars, you aren't just getting clean—you are honouring a legacy of strength.

Because when the job is done, the hike is over or the trail has ended—you need a bar, that doesn't flinch.

Lather it up. Get tossed. Walk tall.
