Finnish Pine tar soap on a rope

A traditionally made soap containing naturally extracted pine tar from Vaasa on the west coast of Finland. Deep brown in colour and imbued with the scent of resinous woodsmoke (pine tar being the liquids exuded as pine roots and stems are slowly heated the point of carbonisation) the soap is gentle on the skin and said to possess mildly antiseptic qualities, as well as being useful in the treatment of minor skin conditions. 200 grams.
