Brand new…. I didn’t expect my deodorant to have more air than a bag of chips… won’t be getting this again.

I did not know that about it being pine tar soap and that’s why it’s left a residue.

I won’t lie, it didnt smell very good either. At least not when compared to other brands at similar price points. I’ve been buying premium bar soaps for a while and this soap didn’t smell much better than dial, especially after the shower. I just went back to buying Kiehl’s. Hell even Targets house brand, good fellow smelt better and a quarter of the cost.

Pine tar scent is an acquired taste, and pine tar soap being black is usually a dye. Pine tar is dark brown, not black. Soaps do not use so much pine tar that it naturally could be actually black.

edit: some soaps marketed as pine tar on the big print are only pine tar scented too, it will say in the details.

I don’t think you should be eating any soap, especially not so much you get an acquired taste for it ;)

Try Grandpa's. Sasquatch pine tar is terrible. I refuse to buy from that company because of how terrible this product was.

I always thought it was the charcoal leaving the residue. I assumed it had activated charcoal in it.
