THE SOAP WORKS Coal Tar Bar Soap 6-Count — Handmade, Long-Lasting SLS-Free Bars

Soap Works Coal Tar Bar Soap is a handmade, gently scented coal-tar bar formulated to help calm itchy, dry, and flaky skin while cleansing.

Combining a time-tested ingredient with a modern soap base, this six-bar pack from THE SOAP WORKS offers an economical way to add coal-tar cleansing to your routine. Each bar blends coal tar extract with traditional fats and coconut oil to produce a firm, long-lasting soap that rinses clean and leaves a mild fragrance. Made in Ontario and free from common harsh surfactants, the formula is crafted for regular use when you want a robust cleansing soap with a historical active ingredient.

How does this coal tar soap fit into a daily bathing routine?

This bar works like a regular soap but with the added benefit of coal tar extract incorporated into the base. Use it on wet skin to create a rich lather, then rinse thoroughly; it’s suitable for body showers and can be used as a shaving soap in a pinch. Because the bars are firm and long-lasting, a single bar covers many washes.

• Use with a washcloth or loofah for fuller lather and extended bar life
• Rinse completely to avoid residue on skin or fabrics
• Store on a draining soap dish between uses to prolong lifespan

What ingredients are in the soap and what should I expect?

The formula combines coal tar extract with tallow, coconut oil, and sodium hydroxide to produce a traditional soap texture and cleansing profile. It is intentionally free of common sulfates and phosphates, and the scent is milder than many black tar soaps. Packaging lists key components so you can check for personal sensitivities.

• Contains coal tar extract, tallow, coconut oil, and saponifying agent
• Gluten-free and formulated without SLS/SLES or phosphate cleaners
• Finished with a light fragrance rather than a heavy tar odor

Is this soap ethically made and suitable for sensitive households?

THE SOAP WORKS produces these bars by hand in Ontario, and the recipe avoids animal testing and harsh sulfate surfactants. While handmade processes can vary slightly batch to batch, the brand emphasizes consistent quality and simple ingredient choices to reduce unnecessary additives. If you have specific sensitivities, review the ingredient list before first use.

• Handmade in Ontario, Canada, with small-batch quality control
• Not tested on animals and free from SLS/SLES and phosphate detergents
• Gluten-free and made without unnecessary chemical boosters

How long will a 6-count pack last and how should I store the bars?

A six-bar pack stretches well for personal use or to supply a household for several months, depending on frequency of use and bar size. Bars kept dry between uses last significantly longer than those left in standing water. Consider rotating bars—let one dry completely while using another—to extend total lifespan.

• Ideal for multi-person households, guest bathrooms, or travel stashes
• Use a draining soap dish or wall-mounted holder to prevent softening
• Store unopened bars in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight

Who is this for: This six-count Soap Works Coal Tar Bar Soap suits anyone looking for a durable, handmade cleansing bar that incorporates coal tar extract and avoids common sulfates. It’s a practical option for people who prefer traditional bar soaps, want a milder scent than typical tar soaps, or need a cost-effective supply for a household. Not intended as a medical treatment—consult a professional for specific skin conditions before changing therapeutic care.
