Why Pine Tar?
Pine tar is the end product of pine wood carbonization due to extreme heat. Commonly used as wood preservative, it has always been a traditional solution for treating animal wounds and infections. Today, some doctors are prescribing the use of pine tar soap as topical medicine for some skin diseases. It is being widely used against skin psoriasis. People who have dry skin can also benefit from pine tar soap. The natural oil of pine wood is retained during carbonization. So, it could help your skin by adding moisture to it during application. You can easily incorporate pine tar to your homemade natural lye soap recipes. This will add value to your soap because it now possesses anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties.
