This bar soap is both eco-friendly and effective. The scent is incredible. It’s fresh and woodsy with cedar, balsam, and pine, but it’s not overpowering or perfumey. Very foresty. The lather is silky and rich, and the wheat bran adds just the right amount of exfoliation without being harsh. My skin feels moisturized after every shower, which is rare for bar soaps that often leave you feeling dry or tight. I also love that it’s EWG Verified, organic, vegan, and packaged sustainably. No plastic! Yes, it’s a little pricey for the size, but it lasts longer than I expected and feels like a small luxury I look forward to using every day. If you care about clean ingredients and love a natural scent, this is worth it! Read more
I was a little concerned when I saw the size of the bar. It is literally half the size of the bars I have previously purchased. That said, it smells great. It is easily one of the best smelling soaps I have used. I am hoping that the bars lasts longer than typical bars do. If it doesn't, then I would have to say that it's not worth the price. There are soaps that smell just as good but are twice the size for less. Read more
Great scent on this soap! It lathers nicely and gives that squeaky clean feeling from a more manly soap. The bar is about the size of your typical bar soap from the super market, and it came packaged in plastic. There are small “flecks” of something embedded in the soap, but it’s not a rough exfoliation, more just for texture it seems. It didn’t leave me dry, but not particularly moisturized either.

Love the high quality ingredients. Clean and even EWG certified- top of the line ingredients. Smells great, easy on sensitive skin, ultra moisturizing and couldn’t ask for much more in terms of quality. Only downside is the price tag, which seems very expensive for one bar of soap. Definitely a splurge item, but can’t justify buying regularly. Read more
My partner says this works well for him and is very moisturizing. It has a nice small to it. But it small and at $22 it is expensive. Good clean ingredients and the words etched in the soap are pretty cool. I would also like to mention that he is the type that purchases handmade soaps which are normally more money than just regular soap but this is a high price. Read more
I got very excited when I saw this Bushwhacker Bar Soap from JackFir because I have been trying to get the husband to give up his cheap green "celtic" soap for years now. This soap arrives charmingly boxed (with woodland creatures printed inside it), and uses no plastic. The first thing to know about this soap is that it smells fantastic. There is no added perfume, and the scent is coming from ingredients like balsam, cedarwood oil, Ionone and juniper. The scent is more complex than just evergreen, it has a fullness and complexity to it that I find compelling, so I think women could enjoy it also. Which I certainly did, enjoy it that is... this bar of soap makes excellent silky and bubbly lather, and it rinses cleanly without damaging the moisture barrier. After using it my skin felt well hydrated and soft, so much so that I could skip my after-bathing moisturizer if in a time crunch and not feel bad about it. The first ingredient in it is palm oil, the second is coconut oil and the third is olive oil, so this soap is certainly emollient rich. It also contains aloe for soothing and wheat bran for some gentle exfoliation. Most of the botanical ingredients in this soap are certified organic and it contains absolutely nothing potentially harmful or controversial. The brand also contributes a portion of their sales toward planting trees, and I appreciate their efforts. Currently, this bar of soap is selling for $22. That is definitely pricey, but this product warrants it due to how expensive organic ingredients can be to source and how absolutely lovely it smells. Plus the husband adores it, so mission accomplished! Highly recommended Made in the USA Read more
This is a very nice soap with great ingredients and a wonderfully classic smell. It lathers up well and feel very nice on my skin. The ingredients are simple, partially organic, and no synthetic fragrances or colors. Don't expect a pungent aroma, which I would describe as muted or mild instead. I'm sure the advertised complex scent profile exists, but it's incredibly hard to make out, and doesn't particular distinguish itself from other classic soaps. And that's also what makes it so hard to justify the significant price tag for this 3.7 oz (105 g) bar, which is five or more times that of other natural alternatives. Read more
I wish this soap wasn't labeled as a soap for men, because I am a woman and absolutely love The Bushwhacker Bar Soap. It smells incredible, and leaves my skin feeling smooth and moisturized with coconut and olive oils. The wheat bran makes for a very lightly and gently exfoliating experience. The soap lathers beautifully and the bar actually lasts a long time, which shocks me considering its smaller size. I smell good but don't notice a lingering scent after use, so if you are concerned about any scents after showering this soap does not leave a residual scent. The scent truly reminds me of being in the woods, my favorite place to be, with notes of cedar, pine and balsam. The wild violet and amber also make this soap incredibly pleasant. As a fervent user of clean products, I love this organic soap. I highly recommend this soap and think it is a good value. Read more
