Soap for the Bath Tar Soap, 500 g-Modum

What This Soap Is

MODUM KLASSIKA Saunaseep TÕRVANE 500 g by Modum is a tar bath soap for body and hair, chosen by people who prefer a deep, thorough cleanse and the traditional feel of birch tar in bath and sauna use. This type of soap is especially popular for skin that tends to look oily, uneven or easily irritated by heavy perfumed products, because the formula is fragrance-free and built around classic cleansing ingredients with plant additions.

Key Ingredients

The key component is birch tar, valued for its strong cleansing character and for the way it helps the skin feel fresher and less greasy after washing. Tar soap has a long history in Northern and Eastern European bathing traditions. The dark tar note is not added perfume but the characteristic scent of the ingredient itself.

The formula is complemented by botanical extracts:

• Birch leaf — rich in tannins, gives an astringent feel on the skin
• Oak bark — also tannin-rich, contributes to the cleansing, astringent finish
• Chamomile — widely known for its gentle, calming effect on the skin
• St. John's wort — included for its balancing and skin-soothing properties

When People Choose It

This Modum bath and sauna soap suits people who like multipurpose products. Typical uses include:

• Everyday shower or body wash
• Post-workout cleanse
• Sauna shelf staple
• Occasional scalp wash when the scalp feels oily or you want a very clean finish without colorants or decorative additives

It may be particularly appealing in warmer weather, after active days, or whenever you want skin to feel clean and light rather than coated.

Important Notes

Because tar soap cleanses quite intensively, pay attention to how your skin and scalp respond, especially if they are dry, sensitive or reactive. Keep the following in mind:

• Avoid contact with eyes
• If you use strong exfoliating acids, retinoids or other potent actives, introduce this cleanser thoughtfully so the skin barrier does not become overworked
