COFFEE
Coffee is not just for drinking!
Coffee adds wonderful characteristics to soap that many people would benefit from. Some advantages of coffee soap are:
CAFFEINE:
An effective vasoconstrictor (constricts blood vessels) that helps reduce inflammation and swelling. This also helps even out skin tone.
ANTI-OXIDENTS:
Skin infections and sensitivity will be decreased by reducing free radicals on the skin.
PHYTOSTEROL:
Helps with moisture retention and provides sun protection.
The coffee grounds act as a natural deodorizer, so it's excellent for keeping on hand when cooking in the kitchen. The grounds also act as a mild exfoliant to keep your skin soft, glowing and odor free.
Our soap contains pure coffee essential oil, not a synthetic fragrance! Coffee essential oil is energizing, warming and invigorating. It helps us relax and clear our minds.

PINE TAR 20%
Pine Tar has a tremendous history of being used for its anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, and anti-bacterial properties. People have used pine tar in soap for dry skin, psoriasis, eczema, rosacea, rashes, poison ivy, among others.
The pine tar we use in our soaps is authentic, highest grade kiln burned pine tar from Sweden. Auson makes pine tar the old fashioned way by burning pine tree stumps in kilns. This method is also known as, "genuine peasant made tar". For our customers to receive the maximum benefit of pine tar, each bar of soap contains 20% pine tar!
What is Pine Tar?
Pine tar is a byproduct of burning wood. When certain types of trees are burned, the resin inside of them can change with heat and pressure to become wood tar. This tar has been used for thousands of years for a wide variety of applications, from waterproofing ships to sealing exterior wood to treating skin conditions like psoriasis or eczema. Today, pine tar is used as a natural soap that can be a relief for psoriasis, dandruff, eczema, and bug bites. Because it is biodegradable, it is perfect for outdoor use, making it a favorite of campers, loggers, etc.
Why is pine tar soap good for the skin?
Pine tar is an ingredient that makes great soaps and shampoos for sensitive skin. One of the most important ways pine tar protects and soothes skin is by providing protection from skin irritants. Some of the biggest causes of skin irritation are bacteria and fungi. These microorganisms that live on our skin can quickly overgrow and cause irritation and skin conditions like acne, dry, flaky skin, and even dandruff. Because pine tar is a natural antimicrobial agent, it prevents these forms of bacteria from causing damage to your skin, keeping you feeling comfortable and looking great.
Is it dangerous? I thought tar was carcinogenic?
Pine tar is completely safe for external use. While tar made from petroleum is known to be carcinogenic, it is derived from oil and contains large amounts of benzene. Pine tar is created from wood and is a completely different set of chemicals from petroleum tar. Pine tar is a natural product that has been used for generations.
