Pine Tar is one of the oldest cleansing ingredients in existence — made by slow-burning pine wood and collecting the resin that comes out. It's been used for skin conditions, deep cleaning, and antimicrobial care for centuries, long before synthetic soap existed. This bar is built around real pine tar, cold processed in small batches. Dark scent, dense lather, zero synthetic fragrance. If your skin needs a serious reset, this is the bar for that.
Pine tar came from the logging camps — the places where men worked in the cold and needed something that actually worked on skin that had seen real use. We've read enough about that history to respect it. This bar doesn't try to modernize pine tar or dress it up. It just lets the ingredient do what it's always done.
Scotch Pine Oil · Pine Needle Oil · Pine Tar · Kaolin Clay · Activated Charcoal
Every bar starts with a cold-process base of olive, coconut, and shea, no synthetic fragrance, no dyes, no filler. Scent and character come from real plant-based ingredients that are ethically sourced. Cured for 6+ weeks before it ships, for a bar that lasts longer and lathers better than the fast stuff.
What Makes It Different?
The short answer: what's not in it.
No Synthetic Fragrance
"Fragrance" on a label can legally hide dozens of undisclosed chemicals. Ours comes from real plant oils.
Cold Process
Most "handmade" soap on the market is melted from a cheap pre-made base and re-poured quickly. Ours takes time to ensure you get the best for your skin.
Small Batch, Not Mass Produced
No factory line. Every bar is mixed, poured, and cut by hand in a father-son operation in St. Louis. Batches are small enough that we know what's in every one.
Made in America
Every bar is mixed, poured, cut, and cured right here. No overseas manufacturing, no factories. Wild Timber is a father-son operation based in St. Louis and every batch that ships out started in that same shop.
The Mystery Bar is dealer's choice. Whatever we're sitting on, whatever we're testing, whatever we made too much of this batch. It comes from the same lineup as every Wild Timber bar: cold process, essential oils only, no synthetic fragrance, rough cut and handmade in St. Louis. Five ounces of something good. You just won't know which one until it shows up.
