Tar Soap, 140 g - Shik

SHIK Tar Soap 140 g by Слобожанский мыловар is a classic solid soap with birch tar, made for regular skin cleansing. People often choose tar soap when they want a simple wash product without synthetic fragrance or colorants, especially if the skin tends to feel oily or looks shiny by the end of the day.

The key ingredient here is birch tar. In traditional soap-making, tar has long been valued for its strong cleansing character and its distinctive, smoky scent. In this formula, it works together with the soap base to remove excess sebum, dirt and residue from the skin surface. Kaolin, a mineral clay, also helps absorb oil and gives the wash a slightly more purifying feel. At the same time, glycerin helps reduce the tight, stripped sensation that stronger cleansing bars can sometimes leave behind.

SHIK Tar Soap suits those who prefer a solid cleansing bar for hands or body and want a straightforward formula with no added perfume. It can fit well into a simple washing regimen for skin that is prone to oiliness, or for those who like the traditional character of tar-based products. Because tar soap cleans thoroughly, many people pair it with a light moisturizing product afterwards, especially in colder weather or after frequent washing.

If your skin is dry, reactive or easily irritated, use this soap thoughtfully and watch how the skin responds. It is best not to apply it to the eye area or mucous membranes. If the skin starts to feel overly tight or uncomfortable, reduce how often you use it and add a gentler moisturizing step after washing.
