This soap was made using the cold process soap making method. It was made following a recipe from 1868. It does have real pine tar in it, so it's not recommended for typical daily bathing. This soap can be used as a cleaner, and as a shampoo bar. If shampooing with this soap, it's recommended not to use more than once per week, and to test on a small patch of skin first to ensure there is no bad reaction or rashes from use.

It also makes a great flea soap for dogs, but when using on pets, always test on a patch of skin before bathing completely. Pine tar is safe for more people and pets, but some are allergic to it.

Never use on a large area until tested on a smaller area first, it doesn't matter if it's skin, flooring, toilets or tires. Always test an area first to be safe.
