Join us today as we make Pine Tar Soap!
Benefits of pine tar soap:
Helps treat atopic dermatitis or eczema
Eczema is a skin condition that affects a large number of people around the world. It is characterized by inflammation, itching, and redness-all of which can make it painful and uncomfortable.
Bathing with pine tar soap is often recommended as a remedy for people suffering from eczema because of its ability to reduce itching. Pine tar soap contains polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), which have been found to have anti-inflammatory properties, and may be partly responsible for this effect.
Helps treat psoriasis
Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It is characterized by the formation of red, itchy, and scaly patches on the skin. While there is no cure for psoriasis, there are treatments available to help reduce its symptoms. One such treatment is the use of tar soap, specifically pine tar soap.
Pine tar soap has been found to have antiproliferative and keratinisation properties, which can help reduce the proliferation of skin cells that contribute to the buildup of psoriasis plaques, thereby reducing the severity of symptoms.
As an insect repellent and for mosquitoes
Pine tar soap has a strong odor that repels insects such as ticks, fleas, and mosquitoes. You can use it on your skin or clothing to keep pests from coming near you-the smell of pine tar is not appealing to pests.
Helps to soothe poison ivy and oak
Urushiol oil is present on the leaves, stems, and roots of poison ivy, oak, and sumac plants, and can cause severe itching, redness, and blisters on the skin. Pine tar soap helps to neutralize this oil, reducing the severity of the reaction and providing relief from itching and discomfort.
