Di Member Registered: 11/15/05 Posts: 2798 Loc: NM, transplant from NJ	Has anyone ever used it? If so, why and do you like it?? I know it's excellent for eczema. DH shaves with it. Yes, we make it and people are coming back OFTEN to buy it. Pine tar is a natural antiseptic. Just wondering!!!

Is it the stuff you useafter gardening that prevents poison ivy attacks? _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

Di Member Registered: 11/15/05 Posts: 2798 Loc: NM, transplant from NJ	Well, it's not green..it is dark brown. It is the actually pine sap from a pine tree...only from another part of the tree. It's used for acne, eczema, dry skin. Not sure it prevents poison ivy attacks, but it sure is good. Here's a pic of pure pine tar. DH uses it for shaving (as do I for my legs!) as it helps when you get skin nicks etc. They use it, predominately for horses hooves, to help with dry, cracked hooves and to protect them from fungus. Also excellent for dandruff. And yes it's very lathery. However it's not a "phoo-phoo" smell. Kind of earthy/natural. We use saponified castor oil, lard and pine tar. HUGE seller! Our bars are as dark as the top pic..as we use the darker pine tar. _________________________ Southwest Body Gear here ~ NEWLY updated website with many new products!

I remember my kids making all the neat shaped sopas when they were kids. We still have some of the molds. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com
