Dandelion Naturals — The Mountaineer Men's Bar Soap

A men's bar that smells like the woods, with nothing synthetic in it.

A cold-process bar scented with a rugged blend of essential oils: woodsy, clean and outdoorsy, without the chemical edge of a body wash from the drugstore. Most men's soaps get their scent from synthetic fragrance oils, which are the usual culprit behind the rash on the back of the neck and the headache in the shower. This one uses essential oils only.

Cold-process soap keeps its natural glycerin, the part commercial bars strip out, so it cleans without drying. No synthetic fragrance, no detergents, no preservatives.

Who this is for

• You want a soap that smells like a man and not like a candle
• Drugstore body wash leaves your skin itchy or dry
• You want one bar for body, face and beard
• You are buying for a man who would never buy this for himself

How to use

Lather, wash, rinse. Keep the bar on a draining dish so it dries between uses and lasts longer. One bar, cut by hand, so size varies slightly.
