Wild Timber’s Secret Weapon: Activated Charcoal Soap for the Ultimate Clean

Some stains and muck can't be easily washed off with bubbles and body wash. Deeper grit, unsightly grime, and skin that's worked hard—activated charcoal is your best defence. We use it at Wild Timber almost like a weapon. We've built our bars to scrub hard, detox deep, and leave you feeling like you actually hit reset.

Let's explore what it is about this black powder that makes it the real all-star of clean.

What is Activated Charcoal?

Activated charcoal is processed charcoal designed with ultra-fine pores and an enormous surface area. That means it's very absorbent and can draw toxins, dirt, oil, and bacteria from deep below the skin.

It has been around for centuries, used not only in medicine, but also in the purification of water. In soap? It's your skin's very own power wash.

Benefits of Activated Charcoal Soap

Deep Cleaning: It will move through pores and pull out embedded grime.

Oil Control: It can cause you to balance your oil production without stripping it.

Acne Control: It will help fight breakouts and unclog pores.

Deodorizing: It naturally neutralizes odors without any synthetic fragrance.

Gentle Exfoliation: It smooths rough skin and lifts dead skin cells off.

We would be delighted if you had sweaty shirts or spent the day with dirty work under your fingernails. Charcoal not only cleanses, but it also clears the battlefield!

Rubicon Ridge: A Full-Scale Assault

Rubicon Ridge is our flagship product, and we introduced this charcoal bar as a three-layered powerhouse.

Charcoal + pumice (middle layer) are significant for exfoliation

Pine tar (top layer) is significant for deep cleaning and supports skin.

Kaolin clay (bottom layer) is significant for purification and calming.

The scent of this bar is pine and black spruce, which smells clean and fresh like taking a deep breath of alpine air combined with hard-core off-road grit.

This bar is terrific for:

Mechanic hands

Trail-wrecked feet

Post workout skin

Compass Cola: Charcoal Meets Classic Cool

Even our Americana-inspired Compass Cola bar is enhanced with charcoal. Though its vintage cola-and-citrus scent may resonate weekend road trip vibes, you can count on the charcoal inside to do significant work—leaving you feeling fresh and ready for Monday.

It’s bold, clean, and hard to miss.

How to Use Charcoal Soap the Wild Timber Way

Lather well. Don't rush. Let the charcoal do its job.

Target your problem zones. Hands, back, feet, or anywhere else that gets dirty.

Rotate strategically. Use charcoal bars when your skin is feeling off or post-workout or after long days.

Not All Soaps Go This Deep

There's clean. And then there's Wild Timber clean.

Activated charcoal gives our bars a strategic advantage—pulling out what doesn't belong while holding on to the ruggedly refreshing scent of the outdoors. If your shower isn't doing more than rinsing, it is time to call in back-up.

Charcoal up. Scrub hard. Walk out brand new!
