I originally bought the soap on a recommendation of a friend because the tea tree soap I have been purchasing elsewhere was not very good. The higher tea tree content in old whippersnappers is fantastic and has helped with reducing skin issues for me as I seem to be allergic to the detergent in some soap. It smells great also.

In the past I've used gels and creams and even shave oils. They are OK, but this stuff takes things up a notch higher. It is very smooth and slick without over-lathering; and the fact that in comes in a pump dispenser is just perfect for me!

I buy this soap because it's good soap. It's real soap. It lasts.

Pine Tar Soap Bar – 20% Pine Tar for Deep Cleansing – Best Seller

This stuff is legit!! Helps with so many skin ailments

I have issues with sebhorric dermatitis and I bought this in hopes it would help with my condition. It’s the first time I’ve washed my scalp and not itched unbearably in a long time. It’s also the most succulent tea tree soap I’ve used in a long time. My hair loves it. This is a new staple!

Always the best soaps out there!!

Had been using shave oil from London for last ten years since I couldn't find anything I liked that worked any better. Eagerly looked forward to the Cocoa & Shea Super Slick Liquid Shaving Soap and was not disappointed! Use very little product, shaves great and skin isn't irritated after shaving. Very happy with this product!

Great product , Great service. Will be reording soon .

I use this soap for myself and my three dogs. I live in a wooded area find that it helps repel ticks. It’s a must in spring, summer and fall in northeastern USA. Thanks!

Nothing but beef tallow touches this skin from now on. I use tallow in my hair and moisturizer and aftershave. And tallow soap (with an exfoliating hand towel) to scrub off the day. It's very light and silky. I use it to shave, too. So glad to have found this product.

This is my second order and it is a re-order because I was so pleased with the first quart of Pine Tar Shampoo. The product seemed adequately packed and was shipped promptly, but USPS handling was deficient. When I let Len know that only one bottle of three arrived, he graciously and promptly sent two more. Thankfully, these two arrived unscathed.

I am appreciative that eco-minded, ethical producers are still around and I'm happy to support them. Rock on!

I’ve finally found the true essence of carbolic soap with Old Whippersnapper’s Carbolic Soap, and it’s everything I’ve been searching for.

Let’s talk about the scent. This is where the soap truly shines for me. Unlike many other “carbolic” soaps that lean on cresylic acid and the distinct smell of creosote as its signature smell, Old Whippersnapper uses pure Carbolic Acid (Phenol). My nose confirmed this by directly comparing it to the pure phenol scent from a Chloraseptic spray (minus the cherry, of course!).

You get that classic, unmistakable, strong aroma: deeply medicinal, tarry, and smoky but with a prominent leathery quality. It’s less astringent than other formulas, making it uniquely comforting. This isn’t just a faint whiff; it’s a powerful, nostalgic presence that perfectly fills the air, signaling genuine cleanliness.

The performance is equally satisfying. It builds a beautiful, rich lather and, crucially for my sensory needs, it rinses incredibly cleanly. No lingering, weird film or residue is left on my skin, just a feeling of pure cleanliness. Yes, it’s a potent cleanser and can be drying, but that’s a small trade-off easily managed with my unscented moisturizer afterward.

This soap is more than just a product; it’s a direct, sensory link to my great-grandparent's hygienic practices and the “old reliable” hygiene of a simpler time. It’s profoundly comforting and bringing back so many good memories, making it invaluable, especially now. If you’re like me and appreciate authentic, strong, and unique scents with a rich history, you must experience Old Whippersnapper’s Carbolic Soap. It’s the real McCoy.

5/5 Nostalgia in soap form!

Top shelf product. Will be ordering again.

Always good stuff and easy to deal with. As long as they keep making it, I’ll keep buying it.
