Academy of Nature Soft. bath soap Tar, 500 g

AKADEMIA PRIRODY Saunaseep TÕRVANE 500 g by Modum is a hair and body soap for people who prefer one practical product for washing oily or problem-prone skin and for cleansing the scalp. Birch tar has a long tradition in bath and sauna products, especially when skin feels greasy, looks uneven, or the scalp gets oily quickly. This kind of soap is usually chosen when a classic shower gel feels too mild, and when a deeper cleanse is wanted without switching to several separate products.

The main character here is birch tar extract. In plain language, tar helps remove excess sebum and impurities from the skin surface, which is why it is often used in cleansing products for oilier skin types. The formula is balanced with oak, jojoba, and chamomile extracts. Oak is valued in skin and scalp products for its astringent effect, meaning it helps the skin feel tighter and less greasy. Jojoba is interesting because its composition is close to the skin’s own protective lipids, so it helps reduce the rough, over-washed feeling that strong cleansers can leave behind. Chamomile is widely used when skin is prone to visible redness, as it helps the skin feel calmer and softer after washing.

Another useful point is that this Modum soap can also be used on hair. That makes it convenient after sauna, workouts, travel, or in a minimalist wash setup at home. On the scalp, it helps wash away oil and styling residue; on the hair lengths, it leaves a clean, lighter feel. Because it is a soap-based cleanser rather than a standard shampoo, it may suit those who like a more intensive wash from time to time, especially if the scalp tends to become oily faster than the ends of the hair.

This product is best suited to people with oily skin, scalp prone to buildup, or those who enjoy traditional tar-based body cleansing. If your skin or hair is very dry, sensitive, color-treated, or easily irritated, it may be better to alternate it with a milder cleanser and watch how your skin responds. Avoid the eye area, and if any irritation appears, stop using it.
