The Chic Tar Liquid Soap 300g - Shik

Šikk SHIK Tõrva vedelseep 300 ml is a liquid tar soap for cleansing skin that tends to feel oily or look uneven. People usually choose this type of wash when they want a practical soap for hands or body with a more traditional ingredient profile, especially if they prefer products without added perfume or colourants.

The key component here is birch tar. In traditional skin use, birch tar has been valued for its purifying and balancing effect. In a wash-off product, it helps remove excess sebum, sweat and surface impurities while giving the skin a cleaner, fresher feel. This is why tar soap is often chosen by people whose skin is prone to shine, clogged-feeling areas or occasional visible blemishes on the body. The formula also includes glycerin, which helps reduce the tight feeling that can appear after washing.

As a liquid soap, this format is easy to use in the shower or by the sink and lathers quickly on wet skin. Unlike heavily scented cleansers, tar soap has its own characteristic smoky aroma from the birch tar itself; many users find that the scent does not stay on the skin for long after rinsing. Because this is a rinse-off cleanser rather than a leave-on product, it fits best as a simple cleansing step for oily skin areas such as the back, chest or hands.

This kind of soap is not the best match for everyone. If your skin is dry, thin or easily irritated, tar-based cleansing can feel too active, so it is sensible to follow with a moisturising product and to avoid over-washing. If you are using acids, retinoids or other strong skincare, introduce it cautiously and watch how your skin responds. Stop use if irritation appears.
