Juniper Tar Soap - handmade, Bioherba, 120 g

Bioherba handmade tar soap combines juniper tar, pine essential oil and organic argan oil in a soap with a distinctive woody and resinous aroma. Designed for cleansing the skin of the body and face, as well as the hair, it combines traditional ingredients with practical care for everyday hygiene.

The soap produces a lather that helps remove impurities and excess sebum. Juniper tar gives the formula its distinctive character, pine oil adds fresh coniferous notes to the aroma, and argan oil is valued in cosmetics for its skin-softening properties.

Juniper Tar - A Traditional Ingredient in Skin Care:

Tar has been known to humans since ancient times. Obtained through the processing of wood, it has been used in various traditional practices and crafts. Over time, certain types of wood tar have also found their way into skin care products, including specialised soaps and shampoos.

Juniper tar is associated with the wood of Juniperus oxycedrus and is distinguished by its rich, resinous and smoky aroma. In cosmetic formulations, it is used for its characteristic properties and aromatic profile. In this soap, it is one of the key ingredients that define the product.

Cosmetic Properties of Juniper Tar:

• Cleansing care: the soap lather helps remove impurities and excess sebum from the skin's surface.
• A traditional ingredient: juniper tar has a history of use in specialised skin care products.
• Distinctive aroma: it gives the soap characteristic woody, resinous and smoky notes.
• Hair care too: the soap can be used to wash the hair and scalp, depending on individual preferences and tolerance.

Pine Essential Oil - Freshness with a Forest-Inspired Aroma:

Scots pine essential oil (Pinus sylvestris) is obtained from this coniferous tree and is known for its fresh, woody and resinous aroma. It is used in cleansing and personal care cosmetics, where it contributes to their distinctive aromatic character.

In this tar soap, pine oil complements the rich aroma of juniper tar with fresher coniferous notes. The result is a distinctive aromatic profile reminiscent of the forest and resin.

Organic Argan Oil - Care for Skin and Hair:

Argan oil is extracted from the kernels of the argan tree (Argania spinosa) and is a valued ingredient in cosmetics. It contains unsaturated fatty acids and is used for its skin-softening and conditioning properties.

• For the skin: argan oil acts as an emollient, helping the skin feel soft and smooth.
• For the hair: argan oil is used in cosmetics to improve the feel of softness, smoothness and shine.
• A plant-derived ingredient: it complements the formula with an oil valued in skin and hair care products.

As the soap is rinsed off after use, the effect of argan oil is not the same as that of leave-on products, such as oils, conditioners and creams.

One Soap for Body, Face and Hair:

One practical advantage of this soap is that it can be used to cleanse different areas. The formula combines the traditional character of juniper tar with the aroma of pine and the presence of argan oil.

• For the body: for everyday cleansing and refreshing the skin.
• For the face: use carefully and avoid the eye area. If you have dry or sensitive skin, assess your skin's tolerance first.
• For the hair and scalp: the soap can be used for washing, but the results depend on your hair type and personal preferences. Solid soaps may leave a different feel compared with conventional shampoos.
